Hot Toys Star Wars Stormtrooper

[TonTon]

Looks like narrower Rogue One chest armor?

That backdrop will undoubtedly be seen in Rogue One.

True. I kind of picture Rogue One and ANH as the same since they go hand in hand. Still wish that backdrop came with the first one though.

 

[JAL4U2C]

After seeing the larger pic, it looks like the frown is different as well.

 

[MyenShi]

Looks like it says "classic". Interesting. ANH I'm guessing.

ROTJ hand guards, so Rogue One it is.

Yep. You can tell by the frown and overall proportions, too. The biggest tell without being able to see all the armour is the boots, though.

 

[Mr.Tanker]

At first I suspected it was a Rogue One trooper as well, but given the backdrop and the fact that Rogue One troopers don't have holsters, it must be an ANH re-release/variant.

The weathering on the boots in interesting. Death Star troopers were immaculate, so I am guessing these were modeled after the few regular troopers on Tatooine (which makes the backdrop even more odd).

Edit: Never mind, it looks like it is Rogue One.

I could see the Tatooine connection, but I'm sticking to Rogue One. Curious about the holsters, I hadn't noticed that. Note that the E-11 also looks different.

Also...looks like return edges on the codpiece. That's ROTJ and I *think* RO troops may have them.

 

[Mr.Tanker]

Rogue One troopers seem to be taller and "lankier." I think the helmets are a bit smaller and it throws off the proportions.

And the tops of the helmets are more squared off, like ROTJ troopers.

 

[Mmmmm Napalm]

The RO troopers don't have a black "mouth grill"; the RoTJ trooper does.

I think it's an RoTJ trooper.

No, the RO troopers have the same hand guards as the ANH troopers.

Yeah, I just noticed that too.

Really? Then it must be an Endor-weathered ROTJ stormy. Boots or not. I haven't watched ROTJ in a while, so can't recall if we saw some tan boot-soles there -- I think I may have seen some 501rst reference material to that effect, but my memory fails me.

*Of course, it may just be a quirk of the prototype.

 

[TonTon]

This one is kinda ugly, so maybe it is ROTJ after all. But if it's Endor, what's up with that base?

Seems to have wider shoulder bells if that means anything to someone.

Lol, I love that someone else hates the RoTJ troopers.

 

[LoveMinusZero]

Here's another:

That's definitely a ROTJ Stormtrooper. The black teeth grill, the white boot soles and the more hunched shoulders.


Here's a pic of the ROTJ trooper:

I don't hate them, but it always bugged me as a kid that they looked different but I didnt know why.

 

[Mr.Tanker]

I've never liked RotJ troopers either.

 

[Darkseed]

Not one to distinguish armor between films, it looks great and the backdrop makes it a purchase.
