Episode 9 Stormtrooper research (Caution Spoilers Ahead)


Alay

Recommended Posts

I see all this discussion of the new Sith Troopers and the Rocket Troopers but where's the love for the FO TKs in Episode IX?  Has anyone noticed any difference between this FO TK and the FO TKs of Episode VIII?  Just curious to know if any differences have been noticed.  Maybe it's in a different thread altogether and I haven't seen it yet.

 

They simply cleaned up and reused the TLJ kits. No change.

Okay, that clarifies my question.  Thanks!

I’m not feeling any love towards this “Jet Trooper”. Similar helmet shape to the RO Tanker and many strange and unflattering features from every angle.
Thanks for sharing the images people.

The introduction of a Jet Trooper is cool. The execution is awful.

I’m struggling to like this one personally, maybe once we get to see them in action on the big screen I might change my mind, but they would want to be incredible.
The face plate is what I have the biggest issue with, I find it quite ugly.

I look at this and it makes me want to sing "Rocket Man" lol

funnily enough when i saw the drawing and tee that's what popped into my head as well...

 

Loving the Sith Trooper, not a fan of the Jet trooper.... the plate that sticks out on the chest would look aerodynamic and would line up with the bucket I would have thought....

Well you'd be the expert on that.

What skills he has using Photoshop he lacks in 3D scanning, not to mention Photoshopping is far more creative ;)

Wouldn't know DV, but baiting fellow members is just another term for bullying ;)

Quite the missed opportunity in the end. If it wasn't for this excess of details on the snout area of the helmet, I think it would be quite good.

Removing the two curved tubes would probably be enough to simplify this area and drastically improve the look of the helmet. Personally I find them extremely disgracious, especially since they have quite a negative impact on the silhouette of the helmet.

Any word on the release date for the Black series here in Aus?

Quite a few pre-order sites on the go.

I don’t have any real love for this trooper but I do love the First Edition packaging. Nice collectors piece.

Sadly won’t be at SWGE any time soon, so will be waiting to see what other Black series 6” figs are released.
