2015 SDCC 6" First Order Stormtrooper

First TFA 6" Figure Hits eBay?

Viper's Kingdom is a pretty well known "look what I found just outside the factory" type seller, so it may be legit... or it may be a hoax.

Looks pretty good.  I think it was more a matter of WHEN rather than IF any TFA product was going to leak via the usual Asian eBay sellers.  Still, knowing how plentiful figures can be in a movie year, I'm certainly not paying a premium for figures that will be everywhere in 3 or 4 months.

Whoever bought the first one got a really good deal. I'd like to see it boxed.

I would have been all over this if I didn't have to sleep at night.   ::)

Cool looking figure and it will be great spending $20 or less on him (Amazon @ Christmas).

Looks like the wrong gun.
This is the way.

How sad is that room after the first 5 minute of them having it in their hands, then realizing how grossly they overpaid for it?  Crying while eatin some KFC...  Realizing this was among the dumbest decisions in collecting they ever made.

That's gotta be some kind of SDCC Special Edition packaging...

From SW.com:
"look for some exclusive Star Wars: The Force Awakens products at SDCC, and be sure to check out EW.com tomorrow for details."

SDCC 6" First Order Stormtrooper announcement time?  We've already seen the figure and the box, why not finally announce it. :P
