    When Hasbro Needs a Sandtrooper...

    by tuskentrooper on Wed Mar 07, 2007 5:34 pm

    Where does toy giant Hasbro go when they need a good reference shot of a Sandtrooper for their new 30th Anniversary Saga Legends collection? If you answered "the Lucasfilm archives" then you'd be wrong. Check out the cardback artwork for the Saga Legends Sandtrooper (courtesy of rebelscum.com), then check out 501st member Mike Harrison's (TD-1536) personal website for this familiar image. By the way, there's also another 501st Trooper coming for those who are still counting each homage to our fine costuming organization. Thanks again, Hasbro!

    Its on the 501st frontpage, so I doubt its a secret that we know.

    Super congrats Mike, that is freaking awesome!

    I have that one, the BF's shin tools and boot spikes are missing

    I've seen them use fan costume images before but not on a retail product. There was a Mandalorian article in the INSIDER a year or so back that had fan-Fett pics used for the painted artwork.

    Your quite welcome Iain.

    Thanks Guys.

    Have now got a set of MP40 pouches on the way.I would never have found them without you lot as I have hunted high and low for these **** things.Never realised that the pouches where like gold dust.

    Thanks again for all the advice and tips now I just have to start getting the bits 'n' bobs for the backpack and work up the courage to get my armour mucky.It'll look good next to my clean SDS gear but this is going to be good.

    All the best to you all.

    Iain(TK6598).

    Oops sorry about that, it's Slate Blue.

    Just for clarification...when you guys mention the American Accents "Slate Gray" do you actually mean "Slate Blue"? I was at the hardware store yesterday looking at paints and they had AA "Slate Blue" that looked pretty good.

    Also, as someone mentioned in another paint thread here, the ACE Hardware Enamel "Wedgewood" looks close, too.

    Hope you get better

    thanks bearden, yeah unfortunately I had a relapse of my back injury for past few months so star wars was furthest from my mind but the dirty boys will always be in my heart, hoping to be a little more active on the boards thanks for noticing though my dirty brother!!!

    Mine has the blue hue as well. I think mine came from the same batch as your friend's

    That looks heaps better. i better not show Rachel, she'll go ballistic

    actually now her armour is all finished it looks great, blue hue or not it is still a great piece of kit.

    Good eye Paul

    I use high gloss HIPS. My .060 flexes just as good but don't know how good it would be for trooping. One thing I have noticed though in the AP pics is that the parts being flexed don't have any return lips/edges which makes flexing easier.
