Hot Toys Sandtrooper MMS 295

[james the cat]

Keeping the pics in this quote, just for awesomeness.

@ James : the pauldron looks not so weathered, and a bit stiff looking. Is that true ? Or photos don't show weathering on pauldron ?

It's exactly like sideshows pauldron its the same material
you are strugglin to turn his head but you can do it.
The thing that surprises me is his back pack how fragile it is just like sideshows.
I thought hot toys would've made it more solid and sturdy

 

[RagingBull]

There will inevitably be black and white pauldron
sandy coming in the near future, be prepared!

I really hope so because I've only ordered one Sandy in presuming that HT will make more variants

 

[dms54nyc]

I duno, im not gonna assume anything. There is more than one orange pauldron in the movie, i cant wait for my pair.

 

[Shanester]

funds are limited. Cant decide on this or Kylo Ren. any thoughts?

I think they will do another Ren with unmasked head after the movie drops.

Are you saying the HT sandtrooper is just like the SS sandtrooper?

 

[momaw]

Did you really need to quota all of the pictures? Are you new to the internet?

Quote just shows the links on my screen. Sorry if I offended you. Sheesh.

No, but accessories are

 

[Wor-Gar]

No, but accessories are

That's very sad to me.

But the pouches on the Sideshow are molded plastic -- I thought the HT ones are actual pleather? And the orange pauldron on the SS one is un-weathered vinyl where the HT one looks more realistic and weathered (looks like a better quality pleather too on the neck portion)...?

Do you have the Sideshow Sandtrooper?

That's what I'm seeing...the SSC pouches are molded, unlike the HT (just like the HT Shadow Trooper pouches) and the SSC pauldrons are nylon or a matte vinly, whereas the HT pauldrons are faux-leather, albeit the orange is more worn looking and weathered...

 

[james the cat]

Yes I've still got sideshows pauldron
I haven't got the figure any more I'll have to dig it out
I've got know problem with the pauldron, it's the back pack that's cheap and nasty

 

[Wor-Gar]

it's the back pack that's cheap and nasty

That sucks. I don't think I've ever heard you complain... and that scares me.

 

[Darth Zullo]

Hey can anyone post a picture of the pauldron on the standard glossy stormtrooper, Would really help, thanks.

 

[james the cat]

Don't get me wrong I think it's beautiful figure and a must get, but the back pack is really cheap
Once its fastened on the back its alright

 

[Wor-Gar]

Once its fastened on the back its alright

Don't scare me like that. I'm fragile. And its getting harder and harder to sneak these $200+ figures into the house without getting caught.

Lol
its good figure im just moaning for a change

 

[Bo Shrek]

Why do you think the pack was made so fragile?

 

[ZE_501]

Cost cutting.

Yes cost cutting, and perhaps they even used SS's mould. Moulds are expensive, and for low volume maybe they decided to go this way. If it is just the frame that is fragile/cheap this is not really seen once on the Trooper, so not a big deal to me.

If any one has both a couple of comparison photos would be interesting.

 

[jkno]

Anyone to take some comparison pics of the SSC and HT Sandie backpacks?

 

[Solo_bones]

Would also like to see them next to Marmit as well as SSC. At the very least I would love to know what a HT bucket looks like on a Marmit figure.
