Ok, we are not miliaria geeks we are "Historians"....ok you are right geeks....
Great Photos and Topic....
I have some pics on my Computer at the office and Wednesday when I go in, I will post them, if I can't find them online.
I have to concur that we are getting the ESB version of the Trooper. The blaster and the boots are the clincher.
There are scenes of the DST's in ANH with E-11's and DH-17's in the detention block, there is another shot of one in the Grey/Olive uniform as well. He is the only one that seems to be wearing the earphones. Even the DST in the superlaser corridor is not wearing them from what I can tell. Every non-officer DST in ANH was wearing lower boots as well. (I know this is the dead horse I continue to beat, but it really is a big thing to me)
Did you guys also notice that the ROTJ DST in the foreground has shorter gloves and not "Gauntlet" style gloves? Really seems like a hodge podge shot there. Maybe it is like a late war German Unit...they had guys with the early and even pre-war tunics fighting along side guys with late war issue substandard materials and everything in between. But then that would fly against the "A legion of best troops"....maybe they were on the other side of the base.....
Anyway, I'll track those pics down and get them up. This definately is a great figure regardless. I'll have an army of him for sure. Oh and be sure that if one pops up on ebay early that I will have it and I will do a mini-review here.
