Definitely a blink-and-you'll-miss-them moment in ANH! Advise your wife that as the Spacetrooper HT is quite rare they are very good investment 😅 Thanks for watching Paul 😀🙌
If you get your wife most of everything she wants, but can't buy the things you want yourself, shes not married to you, shes married to your wallet. Don't get whipped man.
My SpaceTrooper literally landed on my door step 10 mins ago. What a brilliant figure. Mine is a HT exclusive. My SandTrooper from SS arrived a few days ago. I think I'm done for 2023. Lots of POs arriving in 2024.
That's a good looking figure TK421 lad 😎😎 epic detail on the B A . Seen him a million times in the film never knew he was different from normal Stormtrooper 😎😎🎩🎩.
As a kid I did always wonder how and why those guys were stood *outside* the Death Star 😅 Hot Toys answered the “how” bit I’m still not sure of the “why” tho…
Loving this series and seeing fresh reviews of the older figures, great to see them getting some love! ANH are still my favorite stormtrooper designs. Great video and content my friend.
Great video, even though you're wearing an ESB t-shirt while reviewing an ANH figure. 😂😂 (did you think I wouldn't notice?) One of the interesting parts - the backpack "canister" - is hidden when installed; I've always thought it would be cool to have a second one with another figure holding it and about to insert it.
Haha yeah I did a random t-shirt pick for this one, I did actually wonder if anyone would spot it so congrats!! 😁 That's a cool idea, to have one getting geared up! Cheers for watching mate 😀🙌
Troopers are my thing - and would be the last figures to leave my collection. My favourite design out of all the different Star Wars costumes is the original, iconic, Stormtrooper! A classic design. This one’s a great add to the collection. I got lucky and managed to pick a new one up a few months back for only £210 - bargain!! One trooper you must get Chris, and I don’t remember seeing it in your collection, is the Jump Trooper. I have 95% of the troopers released and this would easily be near the top. Plenty of weathering - it’s ace. Definitely check it out!!
Congrats on getting one David!! 🙌 And thanks for the info on the Jumptrooper. It does look really good so can see why it's nearly top of your fave trooper list! Decided to limit my spending by not getting the VGM line (used to have the Shocktrooper but this left the collection)... but yeah I may go for it considering how highly you rate it 👍🏻
I was wise/lucky enough to snag one and love it - it’s a unique trooper. It makes me want hot toys to produce more like the battlefront troopers, because it’s kinda like one of those issues. Be careful with that supply line, tho - it’s fragile. He looks gray with those other troopers. Thanks for the great reviews!
Interesting, thanks for the info John! I have been tempted with the Battlefront troopers (did have a shocktrooper at one point). I may have another go at the VGM line because I do like the unique look of the troopers. Thanks for watching 😀🙌
Great to see you continuing with your look back series, really enjoy your thoughts on these tremendous OG figures👍I genuinely think this is the first time I have ever seen this guy being reviewed !. Love the new hope troopers best of all…iconic are they?. The addition of the breathing apparatus elevates this figure to the next level and that wee bit more difficult to track down, a fantastic piece to have in your trooper collection I am not sure how many collectors will actually have this piece, so for that reason he’s a keeper for sure!. Thanks for this wee video , always enjoy getting that notification alert for a new one , very much looking forward to whatever May be up next on the channel, as always , stay well 👍
Cheers Andrew! If I hadn't painstakingly picked my way through all the MMS numbers I think this one could have easily slipped the net! I mean literally 5 seconds of screen time as well 😅 Don't think there were many produced so glad I managed to get a hold of it tbh! Thanks as always for watching mate! 😀🙌
I've seen Star Wars countless times and never released those 2 troopers were different! Do luv me a trooper my favourite and only HT is the sand trooper " move along move along" thanks for showing me that figure it's nice to still after all these years be learning new things about this awesome movie and it's attention to detail 😁 stay safe brother 😎
Hey mate! Love the sandtrooper too, that one will be the next video coincidentally! Agreed though it's great still seeing new details in ANH!! Cheers for watching 🙌👍🏻
Another great retro-review TK! I just missed out on one of these a few days ago and seeing this makes me wish I hadn't- youve strengthened my resolve. Bubble lenses are my fav and the long weapon is cool. Thanks and keep these coming C. #MTFBWY , #YNWA
Thanks Neil!! Sorry to hear you missed out on one, hopefully you get to grab one at some point. Love the bubble lenses too and the flashes of green when the light hits it from a certain angle. Thanks for watching, hope that t-shirt arrives soon! #MTFBWY #YNWA 😀🍻
This is one trooper thats missing from my collection. I still can get him for rather a reasonable price here and was planning to get him if I manage to snag a Death Star gunner , to display with Tarkin. But as always, watching your review making me to get him tomorrow. You are truly an enabler mate..hahah. Looks simple but there always something special with OT figures . Another awesome review mate...cheers brother.
Haha sorry (not sorry) for being an enabler Kumar!! 😅 Actually thought this guy would be in your epic collection already mate!! Good luck anyway I hope you manage to get hold of one, I think you'll love it and it's going to look very cool with your other troopers 👌🏻
Eh TK421 was in Dunelm today with they wife and they had an extensive Star Wars collection of character cups washbags , pillows thermos flask etc my personal favourite was C3PO headphones holders ,y'all gotta get down there and scope out the goodies👀👀👍👍😂😂
Great review. It's funny every time I hear, "this (xyz) character was barely seen in the show,! Why would they make it???" . Ummmm...let's talk SpaceTrooper and Patrol Trooper 😂😂 Two of the all time LEAST amount of screen time. Everything else may as well be hours.
Interested to see that the Space Troopers didn’t have T-21Bs in the movie, so I have license to get a pair of these and give one or both of those rifles to other Troopers!
I couldn't tell if they had weapons at all tbh, their holsters even looked empty from what I could tell! So yeah good opportunity to share those blasters around with other figures! 👍🏻
Dude, I've been interested in this figure for ages after seeing it in your collection. Well impressed now you've given it an in depth look, wish I could get this one. You made an interesting point about the gun holsters, I noticed this a while ago and have made replicas for some of my upcoming customs that I will pit on the channel when it's up and running. I really like the holsters. I was a bit disappointed that the mando storm trooper commander didn't have a white leather belt either , I don't even know how you get that full plastic one off. Anyway, awesome video as always dude! Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks mate, definitely worth trying to get hold of one if you can! And good point about the Stormtrooper Commander, you reminded me they changed it didn't they. And the thermal detonator can no longer hook over the plastic belt so it now magnetises on. I guess to remove the belt you'd have to remove the feet and leg armour and then you may be able to slide it down over the legs? Personally I prefer the original way they had it like on these ANH troopers. More screen accurate too! Looking forward to seeing the custom holsters! 😀🙌
@@TK421Collectibles I totally agree, the older ANH figures all have way better belts and the holsters are great 👍. Saying that, I do prefer the magnetic version of the thermal detonator. Man I don't think I want to be pulling a trooper apart, you would have to take the whole under-suit off and all the armor, scary! We ordered the dewback and sandtrooper commander. In your opinion, do you think they will re-issue the sand trooper? Because I would love both but frankly I think if they were going to, it would have been shortly after dewback pre-orders went up.
Yes taking the armour off is not something I'd *ever* want to do tbh! I doubt Hot Toys will reissue the Sandtrooper. Not a direct 2.0 reissue anyway. They may release slight variants, e.g. like with the Stormtrooper Squad Leader. A Mos Eisley Squad Leader/Commander maybe? But yeah as they're releasing the Sergeant separately I don't think it would make sense for them to release two troopers so close to each other. But Hot Toys are seemingly quite random in what they release so who knows! 😀
@@TK421Collectibles That is true, such a shame though because there are some great features with the small pouches, the gun etcetera. I'm wondering if I should get another sand trooper sergeant and switch out the poldron for the orange one I got with the squad leader, he won't have the cool blaster but it will fill my vision of how he should look on the dewback.
@@OdinAnon Great idea! I was debating whether to get another Dewback for my Sandtrooper or Squad Leader but think that may be a bit excessive (price and space-wise!) But it would be amazingly cool I reckon 😃
TK, I know this is going to sound odd, but I bought a small gift for you. If I message your business email at gmail, would you be willing to let me know where I can mail it to? It will fit through a letter box. I genuinely enjoy all the content you put up on YT and when I saw this it immediately made me think of you and gave me a small way to say thank you.
@@TK421Collectibles Oh I know that. It is just that I was buying something for my collection and saw this so bought it at the same time. While it doesn't fit with my collection it is absolutely perfect for you. I'd rather it is a surprise when you open it, but if you're worried (which is quite understandable. I would be too) then I can tell you what it is and you can make a final decision. If you don't have a Post Office box I can send it to then I am sure in private emails we can work out another way for me to get it to you that you're comfortable with. Anyway, if you don't want it just let me know and I'll see if I can resell it.
Ah yeah Todd you shipped yours out recently didn't you!! Hopefully you'll get the Stormie 2-pack. They will look fantastic in your collection! Cheers for watching mate, you popped in my head early actually when I was watching Sideshows first look video of Josey Wales Clint Eastwood and was wondering if you're picking that one up? 😀👍🏻
@TK421Collectibles oh Josey looks great. Was waiting for a good video and I do love it. So yes no doubt I'll be getting him lol. At the moment I've got other Star Wars stuff I'll be preorder today. Show you in a pm later.
I'm 50 yrs young, and I have NEVER seen a Spacetrooper before. My wife immediately said "You're not getting one".
Definitely a blink-and-you'll-miss-them moment in ANH! Advise your wife that as the Spacetrooper HT is quite rare they are very good investment 😅

Beautiful figure. We need a captain cardinal hot toys
Yeah great looking trooper. Don't know much about Cardinal tbh is that the First Order trooper with the red armour?
@@TK421Collectibles yeah he’s the first order red trooper. He would look so good with other first order troopers.
@@JenkemJunky yeah would really pop on the shelf surrounded by the regs! 👍🏻

I still need this one and Stormtrooper Luke to complete the ANH line
Ooh not far off from completing the line then mate!! Might just be me but I find it immensely satisfying finishing a set 😃🍻
