Indeed it does. One drawback to the new Sandtrooper Sergeant (white pauldron) Hot Toys has up for pre-order is that it uses the same helmet as this one. Too bad. If the helmet were a new sculpt, I'd pick one up. What I've actually done is find a Hot Toys Sandtrooper on the secondary market at good price, and used the white pauldron from a Marmit Sandtrooper for it. It seems to be more accurate. Plus, it's not pleather. So I don't have to worry about it pealing. @@thejediknightswatch
This sandtrooper uses the ANH stunt helmet, which is why the brow is not aligned perfectly. The frown also extends the full width. The ANH stormtrooper 2-pack uses the hero helmet design.
Great review! Out of the 30-something Hot Toys Star Wars figures I own, this is the only one I've bought directly from overseas and was willing to pay the shipping tax, handling fees malarkey for! Won it in an eBay auction from Germany. Definitely one of my favourites. Can't wait for the Sandtrooper Sergeant later this year to accompany him!
@@thejediknightswatch No, sadly not.. Lack of space and it being a little too financially extravagant are my excuses! 😅 Btw, when I say the Sandtrooper came from overseas, it was just The English Channel, but hey, it still counts! 😄 Are you getting the Dewback?
So I thought the circle was a defect also. I was disappointed at first but if you look really closely you can see it on the trooper that talks to the imperial spy right before the falcon flies away from the hangar in ANH. It's an incredible attention to detail! Congrats on the purchase easily the best trooper ever made imo
@thejediknightswatch Same brother brought in Barc Speeder and Cad Bane and have Book of Boba Fett 1/6 coming in 🔥.......gotta snag the Pratorean Guards as well. We are blessed if collecting ended today I would still be stoked!
@@thejediknightswatch Looking foward to your review. Yes I can confirm a fantastic release man they really nail Aliens! Brought in another 1/4 yesterday, Mark XLIII and its GLORIOUS!
Congrats on getting such a great trooper. Hope you have better luck with the binoculars than I did - I could not get it to stay in his hands. 🤣 Hot Toys always uses those standard hands, whether they are useful for the included accessories or not. 🤨 He'll look good standing next to that big-ass dewback, when it comes in. Are you getting one (dewback)? Have you started the addition to your house to hold it? 😂
Going to look nice next to a dewback.
Oh shiiiiiittttt!!!
The black brow band is that way to mimic the "Move along" trooper at Mos Eisley who stopped Luke and Obi-Wan to ask about their droids.
Def gives the trooper a unique look🙂

@@TheRowlandstone73 thanks for watching and congrats on picking him up! You getting the dewback?

One of the best troopers!
Hell yeah! Glad I was able to secure it finally

Amandine how we are discouraged by seeing it initially only to learn it’s supposed to be there and great attention to detail lol
Fantastic figure!!! Thanks for the review, I really enjoyed it!
Thank you my friend! I enjoy making these reviews and am working on Cad Bane right now!
@@thejediknightswatch Wow! Cad Bane ins insane!
Very cool and congrats fellow collector.
Thanks David! Going hard on Star Wars lately!

@@8474Starscream I started reviewing cad bane yesterday and he’s amazing!

It's a great looking classic figure. Just out of curiosity, how did you brighten both your Vader and Luke lightsabers?
Thanks! I’m using CCFL lightsabers for those two.
@thejediknightswatch Ah ok, thanks for the info.
@@mitchelllawrence2798 no problem!

Haha! I am unsure of the dewback as it will take up about the same space as 20 figures. We’ll see when it comes out though!
@@thejediknightswatch I couldn't pass it up. Like all my other collectibles, I'll figure out what to do with it when I get it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
