This got shared among the TKs in my garrison.

 

Take a look at this offer from sideshow. You can get a life-sized stormtrooper figure for only $8,000!!

Just look how this guy is totally accurate. 

 

Edit: Granted it does say, "The latest edition to our Life-size statue line, the Stormtrooper is an idealized version of the iconic characters and armor [emphasis added]."

At least it's both cheaper and more accurate than the Don Post statue that was offered back in the day.

this did make me laugh out loud.  Imagine how many types of armors I could have displayed for that price?  And each one would get a poseable mannequin!  I cannot believe they were serious about this one.

Are Sideshow connected to Anovos?

 

This suit has a lot of Anovos tells as well as all the obvious RS tells, too.

Anovos scanned an original. Same basics as rs.

Yeah...  That may have some stellar appeal to the non-501st crowd, but around here especially, we've all got very nice looking Stormtroopers for much less money!  :smiley-sw013:

I think I'm gonna' order one of these, but only because they offer a $15.00 discount if I sign up for their newsletter.  I wonder if they would throw in the foam inserts to straighten out the left shin?

These lines in the ad are great:

 

Sideshow have created what we consider to be one of the most perfectly blended representations available.

 

Item shown is a prototype. When shipped, the final production piece may differ in appearance.

It's cheaper to buy a set of TM, built, and put it on a mannequin. That's what I would do.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

No Star Wars collectible from Sideshow is accurate. None. They are not known for accuracy, but for their "artistic interpretation", something which may go ok with Marvel and DC collectors, but for sure doesn't work so well with Star Wars collectors. The statue is not accurate and waaaaay too overpriced. You can get a few accurate armors and cool flexible mannequins to make a small Stormtrooper army instead of this statue.
