Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

I've been using that for years to polish my MP3s so they sound like FLAC.

How is the DLT-19 rifle, is it solid piece? Does it have some moving parts (eg. tripod)?

 

[jedijim3002]

Yup. The tripod is awesome. It folds down and pops back on into position. The tripod opens simultaneously. When pulling one side the other opens automatically. Very cool feature I was quite surprised about.

[jedijim3002]

Tripod and the sights move up and down, supposedly the bolt action can also slide, and I'm not sure about the panel above the trigger though it appears to be hinged with an actual pin....

 

[jedijim3002]

Cool. Didn't notice that.

That hinged piece does move. I don't know if Hot Toys intended for it to be moved but I was able to.

Fianlly got a chance to look at my Stormtrooper good and proper.

Does anyone else have this indentation on the armour under the left armpit?

And rotated forward facing.

 

[momaw]

Evolution at work.

There's a huge color difference between Sideshow's deluxe clones and Hot Toys new Stormtrooper.

Yes. They all have that. It's a nod to the original Stormtrooper armor that had that exact mark on one of the biceps. You will see it on most accurate 1:1 costumes. It's a defect in the armor from the movie but many have endeared it to legendary status. It's supposed to be there. By mistake.

They have even tried to recreate it artificially.

Thanks Jedijim!

I thought it was done on purpose so the actors could tell which arm to put that piece on. One thing I would not have minded at all if HT skipped. They could have instead nodded with additional accuracy in the helmet.

I do find it strange they included that imperfection but decided a symmetrical helmet was the way to go.

I'm expecting pics of the delivery and unpacking all those guys.

What's everyone think of the scale of these guys? While the height is the same, they seem slightly out of scale with the Hoth figures I have. Slightly thicker in proportions, large helmets.

It's there on screen used armors. An error that became iconic.

Be happy it wasn't this instead:

Is that a nicotine patch?
