gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 2, 2023 Report Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) A little new era trooper pauldron research, mainly for the Mortar and Incinerator troopers, there always seems to be an exception though. So here we go, most of the new era pauldrons are a little different to what we have seen in the past, ANH and other original movies/series the colored sections have no lines (bare in mind these are for Sandtroopers) ANH Orange ANH Black With the exception of 1 white pauldron on a sandtrooper, it did indeed have sewn lines. New era pauldrons have 2 sewn lines/3 panels in the colored section just the same. ANH White NEW ERA 2 sewn lines / 3 panels Mortar - what is different to other new era pauldrons is a silver rivet is on the lower colored panel (arm strap) and also 2 rivets on the closure and the closure is on top of the pauldron not underneath like other new era, identical to the ANH white pauldron (the supplier confirmed it was created ANH style) hence the rivets. Hot toys same silver rivets, closure on top and silver snaps Incinerator - 2 sewn lines / 3 panels, no rivets, closure underneath pauldron, black rivet shoulder strap Black rivet shoulder stap. Can also make out 2 black snaps on closure NEW ERA Sandtroopers 2 lines / 3 panels. Note closures are affixed under the pauldron not on top and no rivets same as Incinerator. Also black rivet for shoulder strap Orange Note 2 black snaps on closure Hot toy black rivet/snaps Also note the white underside of pauldron Black Hot toy black rivet/snaps White (and an exception, some may note the CRL model is wrong for this pauldron, it is the only one that has a colored closure, being white, unless there are other references of course) It's closure is also attached underneath the pauldron and no rivets. White rivet shoulder strap Hot toys same, white rivet & snaps We come to another exception, someone has to be different, it has an ANH style with no lines in the colored panel which does not match other new era pauldrons, also showing 2 rivets on top of the closure and the closure is attached on top of the pauldron ANH style. Mandalorian Season 2 Hot toys same, no lines on color area, silver rivets, closure on top and silver snaps Hot Toys refer to this trooper as a Stormtrooper Commander What does this all mean, well research is the key, the more you research something the more you may learn and for those uber accurate ones make sure you research others research Edited July 4, 2023 by gmrhodes13 photos added 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
