BadBatch 52 Report post Posted April 17, 2018 I picked mine up on Friday. The dewback is really awesome. The only downer about it all is that the pauldron is, in fact, grey- repeating the old mistake from the 90s. Overall awesome though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airborne Trooper 380 Report post Posted April 17, 2018 Yep, already planned on correcting that and the damn blue on the pack. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadBatch 52 Report post Posted April 19, 2018 I got mine at Target the morning everything went out. Our local Walmarts also got the dewback (but nothing else from the 6" series, oddly). Some people have had luck locally with gamestop as well. Even amazon has the dewback in stock right now- and at regular retail rather than scalper-markuphttps://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Black-Dewback-Sandtrooper/dp/B072MPB6H5/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524098852&sr=8-1&keywords=black+series+dewback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hausi 239 Report post Posted April 19, 2018 Do I hear a little bit of malicious joy in that statement? Well at least you have easy access to all those peanut butter sweets like reeses and stuff... but actually I can be happy that those aren't available where I live, elsewhere my armor wouldn't fit anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandtrooper 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2018 I saw the dewback set at a local Walmart this week. Seems like there were three on the shelf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dutchy 452 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 Reeses or other goodies left aside...I'd love to have one of those!! But I'm not liking the trooper....I'm only in it for the dewback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Airborne Trooper 380 Report post Posted April 23, 2018 I have to paint in all the lines on the helmet too. I would redo the blue stripes but that's way more work than I want to do haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyTrooperDotCom 34 Report post Posted May 5, 2018 I picked mine up on Amazon a few days ago: https://amzn.to/2juXq5a This is a great piece. The dewback is very detailed...and heavy. Articulated too. I'm very happy with it. I was never able to get the orange pauldron trooper, so I bought 2 black pauldron troopers and airbrushed one of them. I plan on doing the same with the gray pauldron...making it white and then weathering it a bit. I used some masking tape and handi-tak to mask the pauldron: I "primed" it with flat black spray, and then hit it with orange acrylic through an airbrush. There's no way the acrylic would bite into that smooth plastic, flat enamel/primer was a must. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crashmann 22 Report post Posted May 7, 2018 Your orange pauldron turned out great, and I love all of the detail they've put into the figures, including proper trigger finger discipline! Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HappyTrooperDotCom 34 Report post Posted May 11, 2018 The things we do for screen accuracy...I had to paint that pauldron white. This trooper's head was a lot more difficult to remove from the body than my other troopers. If you do try to paint the pauldron, use caution when removing this little guy's head. Its so GRAY Used some masking tape and HandiTak to mask the pauldron: Used a few light coats of flat white primer: Cleaned up the edges with a toothpick: Used some Tamiya Weathering Master pastels that I use for plastic aircraft modeling, I also weathered the orange pauldron, it was too clean. Now everyone is happy! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
