Removable cheek flaps!! (Not a phrase you hear every day.) Was just gonna get the AT-RT cos don’t like the look of the flaps, but as they’re removable will get the set (eventually).
"Removable flap cheeks" 🤣🤣🤣 I've been looking at it some more and I'm actually not that keen on the helmet design at all tbh!! 😅 So I'm kinda liking how the flaps cover up the helmet. But looking forward to seeing what its like up close 🙌🏻
@@TK421Collectibles I think the colour is the worst part of the flaps, makes me think of plastic already discoloured by sunlight and it doesn’t go with the rest of the uniform, but I like the helmet with them removed.
Great looking set. Thought about buying it when it was up for po. The legs worried me, though. Had a hasbro chicken walker. And the legs warped, and the joints failed. The gun even warped. But this is an excellent set. The trooper would have been great by him self.
Thanks for the info! Hopefully we don't see those issues with this version 😬 Yeah same with the BARC Speeder and Appo, think a lot of collectors would have gone for the Trooper on its own! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
@@TK421Collectibles yea unfortunately the helmets stripe should continue down the nose, it stops too soon on this figure, and the leg markings are entirely different from regular 501st
Ah ok, thats interesting! The leg armour is different on all the 501st figures tbh, they all seem to be slight variations (heavy doesn't seem to have the stripe either). Just wondering if it's just to make each one slightly unique? But honestly I never seem to pick on those little details anyway so well spotted and cheers for the info! 🙌🏻
@ designs just vary, most troopers have different patterns and 501st variants are no expectations. Hot toys got very lazy with this guy, his body is literally identical to the original 501st. When you get it compare it you’ll see it’s the same, even down to the weathering!
I honestly don't even know what the colour supposed to be, I need to rewatch the source material again I think! I'm not a massive fan of the helmet design either tbh but hopefully it looks good in person! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
Nice!! Toys on fire has a few coming in
Ah cool. I preordered this one two years ago from Sideshow 😅 I'd kinda forgotten about it tbh!
Thanks for the heads-up. Glad I already paid this off, except for the shipping. 😮
You and me both! 😃🙌🏻
I want the Dewback!
That’ll be next week! 😅😅

I'm the same. The flaps remind me of Droopy the dog.
@@ScoutTrooper33633 Hadn’t thought of that but yes!

Hell yeah! Looks like it was worth the wait! 🤘🤘
It does don’t it! Looks superb, definitely worth the wait! 🙌🏻
Daaaaaaaaaaanggggggg…..this….is….so…sick!! I need two!!
Looks like it turned out awesome!! And I agree we need two!! 😅
😱😱you nearly cancelled it . Will look good in TK421 tower's 👀👀
I mean I use the word 'nearly' very loosely 😅

I will be getting one for my boy but probably not until Feb.
Wow what an awesome gift!! Lucky lad! 😃🙌🏻
@TK421Collectibles he loves his clone's.
This has to be displayed in full height and yes right next to the Barc speeder.
Yes, totally agree Nefty!! Will need to find a way to make it work!! 🙌🏻
Already paid off, haven't a clue where it will be going! lol
Haha same! We will have to try and find somewhere!!
Still waiting for the 1/6 AT-AT....😉
🤣🤣 might be able to squeeze it in somewhere in the collection room 😅
@@TK421Collectibles 😆
It would be more interesting if it was from Kaskyyyk from episode III
100% agree with you mate!! 🙌🏻
To be honest I totally forgot I had this on PO glad is finally released but on top of all the PO’s I have is def going to destroy my wallet lol
Same here! I just kept forgetting all about it once it missed its release window. 🤣
Yikes man, for 400 plus dollars they could at least get the helmet and leg markings right.
Yeah? Is the armour not accurate? I can't remember seeing it in detail in the show, it's been a while since I rewatched tbh!

@@poky3933 yeah will definitely do a comparison! 👍🏻
Why on earth are you ordering from Sideshow? 😬 Worried about postage from HK Sellers yet willing to pay UK import.... 🤔
I was guessing postage from HK will be more than import fees 🤷🏻♂️ We’ll see 😃
those flaps look awful tbh. way too thick! and the color seems wrong...
