The best stormtrooper ever. And on a 1978 card. Mama Mia! "There's one. Set your weapon for stun.. She'll be alright.. Inform lord vader we have a prisoner".
Hope to get 2 or 3 of these for my Tantive 4 corridor that I've broke open recently...plus I need to nail this card to the wall..one of my favourites..lovely memories...cheers Nick🍺🍺🍻
Finally got some extras to open of this stormie just last week and I believe it is the best 3.75 stormtrooper. Everything looks right to me when I look at them, nothing looks a little off. Only complaint is the peg holes but I’m learning to just expect useless peg holes and if they actually work it’s a bonus. Curious to hear Daniel’s take on this figure and what could be improved.
Glad it's not just ME who has an issue with them! I encounter a few people who defend them but overall, glad to hear from others against em coz otherwise I feel like the 'only one' moaning! 😫👌🏼
@@OnlyOneKenobi wait are you saying you encounter some people who defend the peg holes? Or are you talking about something else? What is the defense for peg holes that are too small and too shallow to be used?
Love this figure hope we get other card backs with him and troop building packs! The only complaint I have with him is the E11 blaster. I don’t like the face they gave home the rogue one blaster with the flashlight. Other than that great figure
So glad I was able to grab a few of these off BBTS here in the USA. Very cool figure and the card back is superb to finally have with such a great Stormtrooper. This is definitely the best Stormtrooper in 3.75 out there! Great review as always!
I loved that 5 POA Rogue one Stormtrooper. The biggest drawback is of course it being 5 POA, but on the other hand when it came out it was easy to find and cheap. I army built that one like crazy. This however is the definitive Stormtrooper. I had a few of Stormtroopers built on this mold and I loved them, but that classic cardback and the addition of the holster complete this figure. I've said it for ages now and I'll say it again, I love the rocker ankles. Figures stand flat and more secure so they don't need stands.
Got mine at forbidden Planet London a couple of months back, selected the best card for what I could see without my reading glasses on BUT later found (when I could see!) some the grey squares on the side and rear of helmet (6 in total) have been completely missed with the paint app, so mine only has 3 grey sqaure things (whatever they are?)....on the plus side I liken it to those numerous Stormtrooper out takes in the original film, nothing is perfect!! 😊
Still waiting for EE to ship my pre-order, but I'm only getting this to keep it carded and not planning to army build this fig since I have enough ST on my shelf. Although I could be lying to myself. 😂 For 2023 I'm focusing on building the Dark Trooper, Scout Trooper (at least two), Mortar Stormtrooper, and hopefully Boba's Throne Room. Of course I have to wait for Luke now they changed my pre-order from November to March.
Mine arrived from EE today and both were damaged all to hell. Bent in half card back and bubble damaged. So maddening. EE’s “mint condition guarantee” is total bull****. I wish you better good fortune….😕
@@lamarravery4094 Hmm. My order says coming in December, and it's still available for pre-order on EE but coming in February. Aw man, they better not change my order date. 😭
They have finally nailed the stormtrooper in terms of sculpting!!!! Difficult to imagine any improvements they could make to this figure. The only problem left is the type of plastic they are using. They are extremely prone to discoloration and quite quickly too. All of my troopers have been out of direct sunlight yet some of then have already started to yellow! Its very frustrating!
I’ll hope they make more because the Walmart exclusivity in North America is ridiculous. I have VC140 and I just realised that mine has a painting issue: the black dots on the lower torso at the front are completely misaligned aka not actually painted on the actual white dots of the armor. More Stormtroopers mean more fun. More Rebel soldiers mean more fun.
You know something.... my Han Solo Storntrooper helmet is yellowing ever so slightly (I think) gonna investigate it further I natural light to check.... May do a video too!
I tried preordering these from entertainmentearth and they're all sold out now. It really sucks, I pre-ordered 24 of them and they took the order then they pulled a Walmart on me.
Is there any chance of me picking one of these up in the UK? I have the force unleashed stormtrooper and the heavy gunner which I think use the same sculpt and they are amazing. I can get them in to all kinds of action poses including kneeling and they are very stable. So much better than my Death troopers which I struggle to get in any pose other than standing. I just order one of VC231 from eBay, but it cost me £21 plus postage. And that is the cheapest I have seen one.
Currently loads of that heavy duty Storntrooper on Star Action Figures.... but this particular one... seems to have disappeared for now sadly 😥 they need to make MORE!
I just got mine yesterday and I am really disappointed with the quality of the paint application. While the small details were accurate there are a lot of marks on the white armour. Areas were the white paint has been applied thinly show as grey spots and there is white paint on many of the black joints. The blaster is also plain black with no detailing. On the positive the articulation is great. The quality on my VC254 stormtrooper commander is perfect so I don't know why the quality on VC231 is so bad.
I’ve said this on many occasion. It’s so disappointing This figure available it should be everywhere. Army building The whole point of this is figure it is. Can’t get one never I have. Now I don’t care. Sort it out hasbro. Dew it

If my wife came home to figures all over the walls I would be a lonely one Kenobi
Beautiful figure, fo sho...🤘🏼💯✔️

"There's one. Set your weapon for stun.. She'll be alright.. Inform lord vader we have a prisoner".
My only beef is the rubber hands that seem like they'll wear quicker and struggle hold the gun

I so want this figure but most importantly it’s all about the card.

Looks fantastic !! I have three on pre-order
...wish I could afford at LEAST 10 !!

Entertainmentearth sold out of them, you might want to check to see if they shipped it out. If not, you're probably shit out of luck like me.

Storm Trooper by any other name be so cool..

OOK where'd you order that figure at? VC231. Can't seem to find it
Sup... I bought mine from In Demand Toys... GOD knows how long ago though 🤷🏻♂️🙃
Grab i bagged a few of these on pre order as they're like rocking horse poo 💩 now.
Seriously nan? They all gone now and going up on value etc?... I've not looked em up after first buying em.....n
@@OnlyOneKenobi defo scarce if any knocking about, was defo worth getting some before the scalpers not tried Pulse

Agreed! 👍🏼
The peg holes on this new mold are awful even tho they stand nicely without one they still aren’t the greatest
