IanL Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Anyone see any problems with the new Sandtrooper being issued by Hasbro this year? What does the MEPD Deployment officer say about this new recruit? (At least they didn't color in his Ab buttons) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 wow, i don´t know.... this is a hasbro, ok, but... i don´t know at what price this will be sold, but i don´t like it. even for a cheap figure it is way to inaccurate i think... look at the helmet! i remember my old 1977 stormtrooper was looking better than this one... just my opinion...

avatar_man Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 OK - evidently they went cheap and re-used old standard trooper molds for the parts.. 1. Bubble Lenses 2. Ab Plate wrong 3. Knee Plate wrong 4. Holster 5. Drop Boxes 6. ESB/JEDI Black Frown instead of Grey/Gray ....keep checking - I am sure there is more...

Robster Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 on the dewback prod tip looks like they used one of the old x-wing cannons (the ones on the end of the wings)...IMO these look horrible, actually kinda funny too, so my vote is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippie Trooper Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I think that prod is a combination X-wing gun+Royal Guard staff. The rest looks horrible too! Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpdblues Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The little trooper is obviously NOT wearing TE armor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGreatSot Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 :::shudder::: I would think that someone at Hasbro would look at a picture of ANY stormtrooper and realize that that bucket looks like someone stepped on it... Unless they've been employing trained monkeys again... Then it's a whole 'nother ballgame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_imperial Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Guys don't it look like he has a paddle hanging from his pack with the way the holster and pack blend in the pic?

clutch Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 It looks awful because it is a toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithlord23 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The redeeming quality about this figure, is the lil' Boba holo-projector figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanL Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 It looks awful because it is a toy. Really?? I think the problem is that we have come to expect Hasbro to put a well crafted figure by now, and this looks like they weren't even trying. The very first Sandtrooper from 1996 was miles ahead of this one and he had a stupid pose and a buff chestplate. This should be called the 501st "look I bought a pauldron and a backpack so now I'm a Sandtrooper" figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
