If anyone is interested in a NIB Medicom Stormtrooper, let me know. PM works best.

Tried the hot toys narrow knockoff yesterday for a marmit sandtrooper. A great body but I've come to the conclusion to get a ttm22 for the marmit. Had to shave the legd etc. To much work to fit the parts.




Best,

Robert

Hi! I am sorry, but I don't know the name of the "neck piece" or "collar" some clone troopers have.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

my new Yoda just arrived, and I wanted to pose him with the 501st trooper, so I changed the clone pose too.

I've got an original 212th attack trooper and Commander Cody and 2x 212th air ours troopers too, working on their display.

Very nice! I'm not a big fan of colored Stormtroopers, but I kept the Stormie Commander too, in fact IMO it looks better than the plain white regular TK, maybe the weathering and blue color cover some of the errors, which are easily seen in white

It doesn't help that his belt is around his teets though.

In fact I think it helps a lot!

[jkno]

What!!?

It takes away from the tiny cod piece and ugly looking helmet.

Never bought the commander, is it a better sculpt or the same Stormie sculpt and the angle is just playing tricks on my mind???

 

[jkno]

Same sculpt, different paint apps.

Ok, must be the angles, looks better proportioned than the one next to it. thanks for the info.

Ahh.. the lesser of two evils.

A belt bra to offset the tiny pp.

Figured this would be the best place to ask...

I recently bought a marmit stormtrooper kit (my first one), It came loose. Everything seems legit. I'm unsure if the helmet is actually a marmit. Its just a shell. There's no mounting point at all. Its fairly large too, but the opening is pretty tight even for a DID head. Once its on though, you can spin it around like a top. I did a size comparison with the SSC Han/Luke stormtrooper disguise helmet and it is bigger than those. I don't have a regular SSC Stormtrooper. The overall size doesn't bother me too much, its just the mounting issue.

I'm using a TT knockoff for the body, but I'm not sure what to do with this helmet. Are you guys using a head and then using tape or something to hold it in place? Any ideas.

Looks like a marmit. I think there were 2 types. One like you have shown that mounted on a marmit body that had a ball for a head (it came with a strip of foam to glue around it to snug it up. The second version had a layer of plastic with a small hole and the body's head had a peg intead of the ball.

 

[Natedog]

Ah! OK. I guess I'll put a ball of apoxy putty on top of the neck post and do the same foam strip idea. Thank you!

You seem to be as addicted as I am, Nate! I also bought a Marmit trooper (sidekick for my DX07 guy), but mine is really yellow, so I will give him the H2O2 Batch ...
