Excellent video! You captured how the weathering looks perfectly and your lighting setup is solid. When slideshow did their first look I couldn’t even see the weathering as the lighting blew out the whites on the armor. Thanks for a great walkthrough on this one.
Pre-ordered three of these because I figured the pauldron was removable and I wanted a couple more Imperial stormtroopers. Pleased to see a plan cone to fruition!
Decided to circle back to this amazing video because I'm thinking of picking up a couple more. I have this idea to have one commander, two grunts, one artillery and one incinerator trooper (if I can find an incinerator trooper at a reasonable price). You know, just build a little squad. I also dig the dirt on the armor. It makes them look more battle tested. Yeah, I think it's time to grab a couple more. 😁
I literally just ordered two of these a couple days ago lol. I'm planning on having my troopers posted up behind the Moff Gideon figure when he finally drops
The little blaster rifle is the E-11 Jedha. You said DC-15. But I understand the slip, I mean how many 501sts and Coruscant Guards did you buy again? I forget.
Another fantastic video! This is a "must have" for any Star Wars sixth scale collector. You can't go wrong with extra weapons and the new magnetic canister is a great bonus. I also like the extra weathering on the figure. I'm definitely thinking about picking up more than one!
You're right - I went back on Sideshow, and it is called Stormtrooper Commander. Weird. Has hot toys ever changed the name of a figure between announcement and release?
Hello, love your videos. I am starting to set up a hobby room and I am going to be collecting several figures to add to my empty display cabinets. What are some beginner friendly starting point? So far I am thinking Hasbro Black Series and maybe some kotobukiya models. is that a good way to start? if not what are your recommendations please
I have 3 troopers already (including the orange pauldron Jedha Patrol trooper), so I'm probably not picking this up, despite it being an incredible figure. Happy others will get a chance to own a great trooper though!
First time I saw that figure. So I looked up ad saw that I literally cant preorder it here in Germany, what a misere. Only way to get it would be importing it via sideshow, would cost me like 400 to 450€. So I have to miss out on this figure, sadly
anyone bothered by that horizontal line weathering on the helmet? its so distinct that if you buy 2 or more its going to look like the same trooper. they also did this with the coruscant guard. they put that round weathering on the helmet
@@6119gretsch i saw someone on fb use a very thin sandpaper and he managed to remove all the blues from the 501st. it looked good from the picture but idk how it is upclose. these toys are too expensive to fool around
Just fantastic. Great review as always sir. I only have 1 ordered right now, but will get another to go with my shiney regular RO Stormtrooper. Sold a few other ST’s to make a bit of room for clones and these
I only have one Hot Toys Star Wars figure and that's the sand trooper it just looks super cool and you get so much bang for your buck 😁 nice review have fun and stay safe 😎
God I love storm troopers and you answered the question we’ve all been waiting for definitely going with at least three for this one maybe break the rule and do 4 awesome review as always
I'm waiting on six Rexes and the arrival date just keeps getting pushed back and back... Very frustrating, especially considering we are getting figures released after Rex arriving before Rex. How does that even happen? Will Rex ever get here? Immigration are probably being dicks to him. LOL.
I never got into this new design of the Stormtrooper, toy-wise. It's look good in movies but not as good in person compared to the originals. The original Stormtrooper figures actually look very realistic, more natural-looking as if there's an actual person wearing a suit on a 1/6 scale. This new one looks very toy-ish.
Why's this a "Hot Toys Exclusive"? Isn't every product they make exclusive to Hot Toys? That's like slapping an McDonald's exclusive label on every Big Mac, it's implied and redundant.
@@chocotastic1 I mean I get "Sideshow" exclusive because they are a retailer. I get "con" exclusive because it's an event. I've never heard of "manufacturer" exclusive.
@@krispurdy78 like I said, they may be making smaller run of them. could be the only diff, that and sold in select markets. although you purchased freely from Sideshow, they may be harder to purchase in say, China for example, or the UK.

Best thing about these is that if you buy multiple and remove the pauldron, you can have an improved version of the plain RO stormtrooper!

Where did you purchase the TK14057? What is his actual name?
What’s the model with the backpack? I want to purchase one. Thankbyou
It’s the jedha patrol. It’s rare and expensive
I just ordered one. I felt weird not having a single storm trooper. Hoping that we will get a tie pilot at some point.

everyone's favorite base! oh sure, that green paint changes everything! I had no doubt that you would be getting more of these troopers, Ryan.
Have only one of these on the way. Already have a ton of stormtroopers, and there are more on the way.
Have a Merry Christmas, Jedha.

You sir are correct
I never realized how much different stormtrooper helmets can look from each other
Wondering if you can toss farm boy Luke’s head sculpt on this bad boy?
@8:00 "Same, but different...but still same'"
Trying to decide if I should grab a 2nd squad leader or a Tusken raider.
Your a genius! The only reason I wanted to watch this is to see if the pouldren could be removed! Thank you, I'm ordered a few of these puppies...
At least no footprints on the new Fennec display base! But it's also being branded from Book of Boba and not the Mando line

You should get at least 100 of these.
I caught the Dumb and Dumber reference 🤣🤣
Was actually even thinking it before you finished the second part Hahaha
As someone who as stormtrooper armour the range of movement on the hot toy is wayyyyyy more than in real life. 😂
Really nice! I may pick up a second once SSC decides to ship them!

Yeah they used to be called commanders

Probably gonna get a few of these just because.
Getting a dozen just for those bases!!! Blown away by the details
Seriously, I'll likely get two or three. I gets excited for Stormtroopers
10:05 He was hit in the head by Boba Fett. That's why he had that scratch on the helmet.

See link for pop collectibles in description
Ordered 4 will stick with that 😊
How tf did you get this already? Mine hasnt even shipped yet?
I explained that in the beginning of the video
@@JedhaPatrol yeah, im an idiot. I wrote that before I got that far into the video.
@@JedhaPatrol still cheaper through sideshow
So many troopers are gonna get demoted for army building 😂
Awesome figure can’t wait to get mys
anyone bothered by that horizontal line weathering on the helmet? its so distinct that if you buy 2 or more its going to look like the same trooper. they also did this with the coruscant guard. they put that round weathering on the helmet
This is my concern as well. How difficult would it be to remove that line of weathering on the helmet?

The “Coruscant Guard” trooper is Commader Thire so it makes sense that he has distinct battle damage
@@danielq_4 i just googled it and omg u are right! thanks for the info
@@danielq_4 I'm aware of this. I just want generic troopers. I missed the boat on earlier troopers.
Awesome video and you can never have to many troopers.
Thanks for the review. I was waiting for a review to see how many I want. I want four but three will have to be my limit. 😭
Still waiting on Rex as well
Great review and I was just using that Dumb and Dumber quote yesterday! lol Cannot wait to get this figure and add it to the Incinerator Trooper.
Looks awesome! Also still hoping for a jango fett preview video!
Just fantastic. Great review as always sir. I only have 1 ordered right now, but will get another to go with my shiney regular RO Stormtrooper. Sold a few other ST’s to make a bit of room for clones and these

I might as well just give you my account numbers! Everytime you review a new figure.... I end up buying the shit. 🤦🏻♂️

To me, I much rather prefer the new Rogue One style stormtroopers than the older, goofy looking ones.
I'm still waiting on my rex im pretty pissed

It's exclusive to select markets silly, also they may have produced smaller numbers, no one knows as HT doesnt reveal their production numbers
@@chocotastic1 exclusive to what markets? I just ordered 2 from Sideshow.

@@krispurdy78 well when you go on OTHER sites, it may not be available. hence the term "exclusive to certain markets".
