30AC "Vintage" Wave

[Darth_Anton]

just hoping they get the colors right so that this is THE definitive Snowtrooper.

But then they can't release it again in the PROPER color, or something too grey-ish, to profit more.

And green, and blue, and purple, and red, yellow, orange and black as well, in the true spirit of the clone trooper repaint marathon.

Don't say that!  They can repaint Clones all they want, but don't touch my OT Imperials. 

that forced unleashed game may actually cause hasbro to repaint stormies with colour ranking. oh you will see.

That'll push me over a line there ain't no coming back from in terms of ending completism.

Not hi-res, but damn I'm lovin' it!

So far everything I've seen of Force Unleashed implies Stormtroopers are 100% OT looking or all new designs/styles that also are just "white".  There's a character model of the Trooper's with pauldrons too, so I'm banking that there will be no color ranking system to the FU Stormtroopers in the game...  Fear not Anthony...  for now.

[CHEWIE]

Not sure if you meant figures or the game itself, but it does show yellow color markings on Stormtrooper in the trailer (the trooper on the right in the sequence of three stormies getting zapped by blue lightning) -

They also seem to have more clone-type armor, but with Stormie heads. 

But that's an old trailer so maybe things have changed.

 

[Jesse James]

Maybe there's varying "levels" spanning different times to bring the two armor styles together more?  I've seen them using OT Stormies in demos of the game's engine.  They're jsut plaine white stormies in those demoes though, not Clones.  Might have something to do with the time spanned or it could just be something used for the demo's and the trailer is how it'll be...

They're definitely not "STormtroopers" in the traditional sense in that trailer though...  very much a mix of clone/stormtroopers, even more than E3's look really.

The further we get into EU after ROTS & before ANH. The more colorful Imperials we'll see.

[CHEWIE]

Yeah Jesse, they do look more like ROTS clones in the trailer, at least the shape of the armor.  Helmets are totally ANH looking though, right?

I like the variety that the game is apparently going to have with the troopers, with the bulk of them looking more like what we are used to seeing in the OT.

Back on topic though, sorry I've strayed onto other themes lately in a couple threads.

May can't come soon enough!

RS has posted hi-rez shots of the Vintage wave and while the Snowtrooper still has the crap skirt and  I’ve just now realized that Han will not be able to sit on a Tauntaun, (maybe in a Vintage one) or run for that matter.

Why articulate anything below the waist (hips, knees and ankles) if you are going to give him a coat that will surely restrict the movement of his thighs?

 

I guess he'll be able to drop to his knees, so I suppose Chewie will be happy.

[Jesse James]

I would rather they articulated it than not...  I'll cut the "skirt" up the sides I think to have him more mobile...  I might even leave Saga 02 Han on the Taun-Taun since he fits there pretty well...  leave the Vinty Han standing around yelling at Leia, Chewie, Deck Officers, treadwell droids...  or whatever.

[Jayson]

Then I'll see you in HELL!

 

[Jesse James]

Then I'll see you in HELL!

I've never had anyone react that way to my articulation arguments.    

[CHEWIE]

I'll see you both in hell.   

 

[Dressel Rebel]

I'll see you both in hell.   

 

I'll go to hell for a snowtrooper.

That Luke is great, and I'm thinking this may be one of the best Hammil sculpts we've ever gotten. I may get a few just to swap heads with that Ceremony Luke in wave 2.

Also, has anyone asked Hasbro for a shot of Leia without the poncho? I don't think we've gotten any pics of her without it yet, and I'd really like to see what type of articulation she has under there.
