Justin, Great video! I'm in the 501st Legion and have an approved Rogue One Stormtrooper costume. The hole in the back armor is accurate with the screen used costumes found in all the New Era (Anthology movies and Disney+) Stormtroopers and is also found in the Rogue One Tie Pilot costumes. The Tie Pilot armor also has a pill shaped indent on the opposite shoulder. We really don't know why these holes were included, but they're definitely there; Hot Toys got this right. The line on the helmet emulates the wear on the Stormtrooper Commander's helmet from the show. It's definitely supposed to be there. This was likely wear and tear from the props department since Lucasfilm habitually reuses armor from previous films and a lot of that gear has sustained damage since Rogue One. In The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 7 we even see a few Stormtroopers wearing grey boots and Shoretroopers with broken and missing parts. You can definitely use this guy as a fill-in for the Rogue One TK, but just keep in mind that the Rogue One guys were wearing fresh, shiny new armor. Same armor, just a lot more wear.
I usually don’t care for these things, but I broke down and ordered 2. I’m 100% sure I’ll sell them in 6 months because I get bored of them quickly but I’m still excited to take pictures of these with Darth Vader and fighting various Star Wars characters 😁
Thank you for another great review Justin and especially for covering the removable pauldron. Awesome! So glad Hot Toys factored this in to the design.
Justin, I have a secret. I do not own a single 1/6th scale figure. I just stop by to watch your informative and entertaining videos. Have a great day down under!
Love this classic storm troopers especially without the shoulder thing looks more classic not bad idea getting 2 one with and one without would be a nice display
Great unboxing and review. This is a fantastic Stormtrooper to add to any Star Wars sixth scale collection. The addition of a second weapon is a nice bonus. I only wish the display base didn't have the footprints. I don't mind the irregular surface -- it provides some additional detailing. I'll probably pick up more than one.
That line on the helmet is so odd, reminds me of the line on Cody's helmet that kind of changes the weathering texture a bit, it's kinda jarring and once you see it you can't unsee it. Great review! Still iffy on this one myself, maybe if I can get it under $200 USD I might snag one!
Im an hour late but, I wont be for the next. Loved the review Justin GREAT JOB, because you have made my little brother worry me for one of these...IM HYPED TO SEE THE frank millers blue suit batman!!!
it looks like that pin hole on his back might be a cross production piece to be used for either in the trooper line, like in this case could be used for that artillery trooper with that hole to strap that container device on his back somehow or vice versa. idk for sure tho
@@JustinsCollection just out of curiosity did a little more digging, the pin hole is actual screen accurate through season 1-2 of mando as far i can tell for stormtroopers, go figure! lol
I am waiting for mine! Hoping January it comes in! So excited to complete my set of troopers; I have the Clone Trooper 501st trooper and a First Order Stormtrooper Officer.
Hi Justin! Hope all is well. I really want this figure. My best friend took a trooper figure and made this for me. I was so surprised at how well it came out but it is not posable. I think this figure is a classic. Can’t believe they used that base again. I had no idea the orange cauldron was removable. Thanks so much for the video 😊💎
I hear you on the line on the helmet when it comes to army building but it is screen accurate to the one in Mando. Love these Rogue One troopers and with this pauldron. The best. My original Rogue One trooper is my fave too!
Picked up one and as soon as I posed it I wanted another one. Need to have at least one getting squashed by the Boba Fett that's bound to be released any day soon
Thinking about getting 2 of these guys to go with Vader and my 2 501st troopers. Are there any current Toys Wonderland coupon codes I can use? just because, why pay full price if you don’t have to.
Fantastic review justin. BtwI think the S.H Figuarts Integrated Suit Spider-Man is already released and I had seen some reviews. He's not that good for me at least but I'd like to see you review him.
@@JustinsCollection the eyes mainly are just not shaped right. Their also supposed to be squinty. You know how at an odd angle one eye looks slightly different. Hot toys is kinda overrated In price and in some models. I would pay more if they can guarantee a more accurate look
Honestly, one can never have too many stormtroopers. Everyone loves classic troopers like this so I'm a fan of this release
Legit!

Badass!
I will definitely pick up two. 😍 So exited to display them with the artillery trooper!
Badass!
I just ordered one of these bad boys and I can’t wait for it to arrive :D
Nice!
Stormtroopers are so fun to army build, they are so uniform it's a ton of fun.
They are!
This is one of the cleanest toys I have ever seen
Nice!
Nice change up with the background color! Great review as always.
Thanks!
And the awesome black backdrop returns
It do!
Thank you for another great review Justin and especially for covering the removable pauldron. Awesome! So glad Hot Toys factored this in to the design.
No problem!
The sandtrooper is my favorite Star Wars costume. Great addition, Justin! Happy New Year from Maryland?
Noice!
Scored him for 170 on sideshow, took advantage of the 20% discount plus some rewards
Sweet!
Only a day away till the book of boba fett, hopefully the storm troopers will return in the show
Legit!
@@JustinsCollection yuhhh
Damn!! That dual blaster wielding pose is tough!!!! 🔥
Haha thank you!

That's fine Charlie! Hope you enjoy the vids!

Looks fantastic Justin another outstanding review
Thank you!
I very much appreciate the black background
Thank you!
I only buy troopers , i love it .
Nice!

This figure looks sick!
He does!
Like you, Justin, I love a "SUPER, CRISPY CLEAN" Stormtrooper. Oooowee! It's just MEANT to be hahaha
Right?!
The magnet is there because they are using the same figure for the artillery trooper
Yes I said this
That line on the helmet is so odd, reminds me of the line on Cody's helmet that kind of changes the weathering texture a bit, it's kinda jarring and once you see it you can't unsee it.
Great review! Still iffy on this one myself, maybe if I can get it under $200 USD I might snag one!
Very odd!
You are a legend
Thank you!
Thanks for the awesome review Justin. I’ll be adding at least a couple of these to my collection.
Badass!
Now I really want the mustard trooper
Me too!
ahh, that ever popular footprint sand base! but I guess that greenish paint makes it better and different, right?
Haha always!
Im an hour late but, I wont be for the next. Loved the review Justin GREAT JOB, because you have made my little brother worry me for one of these...IM HYPED TO SEE THE frank millers blue suit batman!!!

Oh interesting
@@JustinsCollection just out of curiosity did a little more digging, the pin hole is actual screen accurate through season 1-2 of mando as far i can tell for stormtroopers, go figure! lol
Hmmm idk… I think the matte finish looks nice, however I would have loved a shiny version as it is more screen accurate.
Fair enough!
nice ! the guns were amazing
They are!
I am waiting for mine! Hoping January it comes in! So excited to complete my set of troopers; I have the Clone Trooper 501st trooper and a First Order Stormtrooper Officer.
Badass!
Awesome 😎 stormtrooper! Cool add to the display. I can’t wait to get it. Nice 👍🏻 review bro
He's great Lynn!
That is so cool and awesome
Thanks!
I would love to see a Darth Revan!
Me too!
To really be honest I never watched Star Wars in any way but I really like stormtroopers
They're dope!
Can some suggest a good hot toys figure I want to get one for the first time but there's a lot to choose from
If You're into Star Wars and troopers, my personal all time favorite and highest recommendation would be the Captain Rex.
Your favourite character?
@@JustinsCollection I don't have a favorite but top two is Mando and spider man
@@aidangroessl375 thanks

That's awesome! Yes I may get a few more to remove the pauldron

Love these Rogue One troopers and with this pauldron. The best. My original Rogue One trooper is my fave too!
Ok nice
Hello Justin! Is it posible to take off the shoulder pad to make it into the basic trooper?
Yes
@@JustinsCollection ok thanks man
Picked up one and as soon as I posed it I wanted another one. Need to have at least one getting squashed by the Boba Fett that's bound to be released any day soon
Nice!
Can you put a headsculpt on this figure? if so, how would I go about doing so?
I guess so
FYI - The helmet line was in the promo pics from the beginning. I wonder how hard it would be to use some paint and make it go away… :)
Hmmm not sure!
Hey they finally fixed the E-11 and the stock can finally flip behind! Did you just make me want to get one? I already have 3 Rogue One Stormtroopers!
Nice haha
Thinking about getting 2 of these guys to go with Vader and my 2 501st troopers. Are there any current Toys Wonderland coupon codes I can use? just because, why pay full price if you don’t have to.
Nice!
Great in stock trooper. Do you know if a Luke head would fit on this to create his stormtrooper disguise?
Hmm it should!
My RO troopers have lost their belt mounted ammo boxes just from museum posing....hate that garbage pleather they use.
Damn!
@@JustinsCollection yup and I still haven’t found a way to repair them
Im over here debating getting 3 😩😂
Haha nice
Is there a holster for the e-11 blaster
There is not
I always assumed the hole was somehow related to keeping the actors cool in the suits.
Could be!
Fantastic review justin. BtwI think the S.H Figuarts Integrated Suit Spider-Man is already released and I had seen some reviews. He's not that good for me at least but I'd like to see you review him.
Thank you! I sure will!
Good 👍
Thanks!
Review the squid game guard u Can buy it on comic sanctroum
I will when its out
I think you should collect a sonic action figure
Who made it?
Just secured this guy for $125!
Score!
Why you changed background color white to black
… the trooper is white, the background being white would make it impossible to see!
Justin I know it’s off topic but pennywise dropped in China
Yep!
"Justin is collectibles"?
What?
It looks good but the helmet isn’t as 100% accurate
Why?
@@JustinsCollection the eyes mainly are just not shaped right. Their also supposed to be squinty. You know how at an odd angle one eye looks slightly different. Hot toys is kinda overrated In price and in some models. I would pay more if they can guarantee a more accurate look
@@JustinsCollection that’s why I’m doing custom head
0:35 this is getting out of hand..
Lol
No first 😞
Damn
“FLANK THEM YOU IDIOT!”
Lol
@@JustinsCollection Love the fact that he got his own hot toys😂
Hot🚀
Thanks!
First
Nice!

Nice!
