I bought one of those Home Depot Stormtroopers as well and I just went on Amazon and bought a Rubies Stormtrooper blaster for $30 and it looks great on this figure! Also, if you want, you can use a Styrofoam mannequin head in place of the helmet they provide and then put your prop replica/ black series stormtrooper helmet on the figure. The helmet it comes with looks a little too high off the shoulders. Using your own helmet makes it look awesome!
This is a great review the shadow trooper paint would look great! I just bought one after watching this I might buy two and turn one into a night trooper loves the pros cons list man keep up the good work!
@@MrStrykerVenom oh, wow. Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m not used to doing reviews, so I appreciate this! Please keep me updated on the shadow trooper paint…. I am buying a second one and have tossed around the idea of ‘ modding ‘ that one :)
Thanks Austin. After watching you first video last night I ordered it immediately. It arrived this evening and WoW for $299 this a great deal. I have mine holding a hot toys stormtrooper. Try it it looks so dam cool.
@@robbyrobism I’m so happy you like it! Also… that’s a grand idea. I may have to steal this idea for a picture or two, Robby ;) Thank you so much for letting me know. 🙏🏻
Hey! Im definitely one of the ones with the problem of the base being too big, I was either thinking supergluing like you said, or honestly just hacking up the base, I think some type of glue route would be better. If you ever decide to diy glue the torso so the base isn’t needed, please post it!
I’ll keep you updated! I bought a second one and honestly not sure what I’m going to do to make the space work. So, I’ll definitely be getting creative, like maybe turning them into busts from the waist up and mounting on the wall next to another lifesize bust OR turn them into busts and have cases beneath them. I’ll figure it out!
Thats not bad at all for $299! I love the animatronics. Since its holiday themed and is presumably meant for front lawns, any idea how weather resistant it is?
@@mattsgameroomcollection NO IDEA. That’s a really good question. I would assume not weather resistant at all with the electronics and how ‘ cheap ‘ the product actually is
as that plastic breaks down and deteriorates over time, you can DIY it. sand it down and repaint it as a Shadow Trooper!
@@OnesixthQ this is such a fantastic idea!

Outstanding mate! Mine should arrive at the store this week. So I know what I'm doing this weekend! Might have to make an unboxing video myself!
@@126Swanky I say you should absolutely make a video :) selfishly, I just want to hear your thoughts!

@@BluTattu honestly, such a cool piece :) I wish I had more room or I’d army build!
Love it! Are you getting Vader?

Great video. The trooper looks good. Do you think it would pass for screen accurate with a little bit of tweaking?
@@umbrellacorpv2 I don’t have that eye for detail, but close friends have said no, unfortunately :/
How did you make the starwars lighted panels?
Look at you go with these youtube vids! 🔥 👏 Fucking love it!

Rated for indoor use only per item page
Can you swap the helmet on it for a black series?
Just picked this up for $150!
I snagged another one too! 👀 is this your first one?
@@Austin_Nicholas_ Yep! I can't wait to build it! Still trying to figure out where I can put this....
How cool they if they made a Michael Myers
@@SGcollectibles 😮💨 Don’t even get my hopes up!
I bought mine got it about a week ago but the head doesn't move at all really disappointed
@@johnjohn-bh4cu oh no. I hate to hear that! Are you returning it?
Goof Off for Sticker Residue
@@collguyjoe99 ugh a good idea! 👏🏻
Ahhhhhh….The anorexic storm trooper 🤣😂🤣 way too skinny in the midsection and does not come with the proper blaster
@@MatthewHoughton-c6g completely get it. To each their own. I’m very happy with the money spent.
