Ooh yeah thats potentially going to be a big hit unfortunately!! But ultimately worth it as it's going to look incredible!! Cheers for watching James 🙌🏻
Hardest thing about this figure is deciding which pose to use. I have the more affordable Beast Kingdom version as my daughter bought that one for me and often get comments on how cool it looks. The details on this make this figure pop out most definitely
The Beast Kingdom stuff is cool, I know a few folks that collect them as well 😃 Yeah definitely going to be interesting see what pose this one ends up tbh! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
*Finally!* Considering he was originally due back, (stole your pun there, mate!), in Septemberish, he's taken his sweet time! Carry On Sergeant! 😂👍 I have to agree with you, it's lovely seeing that Episode IV A New Hope logo on a brand new release! 🙌🙌
Finally! I first saw the Sergeant figure in the HT Catalogue around 2015. Definitely gonna pick one up in figure only version. Gonna look brilliant next to the Sandtrooper Officer in the "look sir, droids" pose
Yep, Have one on order. Just wonder how long it will take for Sideshow to deliver. Enjoy yours if you get before mine. Would like to see how you display.
Hope its not ages til Sideshow start shipping yours 🤞🏻 And yeah I'm not even sure how or where this is getting displayed! 😅 Thanks for checking out the vid 🙌🏻
@@mitchd9997 I have it on preorder with a UK seller so I dont think I'm getting this day one tbh mate. Shipping costs direct from HK are crazy! So you will get yours before me I reckon! Let me know what you think of it in-hand!! 😃
@ yeah I’m the same. The guy has it coming direct from Hong Kong. Which he reckons will be 3 days. Then he usually gets his items to me next day. So possibly next week. I did have to buy a cheeky squad leader. 😬 They’re quite hard to find now complete and not for silly money. So hoping the seller is as genuine as they seem. Your fault. I ordered after watching your sandtrooper review 😂
@@TK421Collectibles Might be a mandate from the licenser, where newer characters are prioritised over the classics that people want. Alien, Beetle Juice, and Indiana Jones for example.
One of my most anticipated figures........it probably won't arrive (for me) until May. 😂😂 That blue on the backpack seems an odd color for an imperial stormtrooper.
Interesting you say that as I was just looking at some photos of the troopers from ANH, and the Tatooine gear had a ton of blue all over it which I've never really noticed until today! Even the Commander guy who stops the land speeder as they enter Mos Eisley.I am totally unobservant it seems 😅
When you said that you would love it if hot toys just did original trillogy, that might be your answer on what to collect going forward when you run out of room. Ive pretty much gone 90% original trillogy now.
I've not planned on any tbh. Certainly not within the cabinets anyway as space is getting super-tight just with figures! Is it something you're looking at or already have?
@@TK421Collectibleswhen I'm happy with my set up,I plan on adding a backdrop picture to each shelf.I'm also going to buy a 5ft fish rank and turn it into a jungle scene,then add my predators to it.
The weather on the helmet is very good. They got the dirt on the helmet above the right eye spot on. However, the brow strip is wrong. 'Look sir, droids' trooper has a normal brow strip. Apart from that, its very good and I am still excited for it when I get my order!
Do you think the brow strip looks a little too high? I thought it looked a little off but thought I just imagining it. But yeah looking forward to getting this one in 🙌🏻
@@TK421Collectibles - just google look sir droids > images and you can see that the brow trim is too high. I think they reused the last sandtrooper helmet and did not do a new sculpt. I get why they did this, but I am just a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to OT stormtroopers.
I previously swore off large items due to all the speeder bikes I've purchased, then this dropped; instant set pre order. With all the figures that have dropped in the past 2 months, I'm glad this was delayed. It's paid off but all the taxes & shipping have been wallet murder during the holidays.
I know what you mean, with all the speeder bikes and I wasn't all that impressed with the Blurrg but this just looked too awesome to pass up!! Hope your wallet recovers mate, not sure mine will! 😅
Uh-oh.... This is one of those times where the blogger photos are not helping the sell here. Not panicking by any means, but it will be helpful to see the set under some better lighting and w/o the cheesy drop-in backdrops. I'm keeping the order and hopeful it will provide some awesome outdoor shots...
Green fur... Looks brown only on yellow lights on all pics. Looks amazing anyway. I regret a bit but ordered only the sandtrooper... well, not so much space here though. Keep a bigger space for a scoot trooper rotj (still not have and love them) or a jabba maybe in 2025/2026 ?! who knows ?!
Had this on order but canceled managed to get the sideshow Dewback so pleased I did it is far superior the hot toys saddle etc is far better but the Dewback seems plastic with joins and seems smaller against the figure stood beside it
Interesting, I'd heard the Sideshow Dewback is great tbh but never seen it in real life. It was also mega expensive so hopefully you managed to grab it a bit cheaper now! Yeah the plasticky-ness and the seams may be big detractors for this piece but I will have to see when it comes in! And thats a great point you make tho about the size, I thought they should be a lot taller than the trooper when stood side-by-side! Thanks for checking out the vid 🙌🏻
Planned to pass on this beast all along. Current economy is helping me a lot to stick to my initial decision. Very happy with my good old Sideshow dewback. I'll just upgrade to the latest Sandtrooper and be done with it.
Ah you already have the much sought after Sideshow version!! Congrats on that, you are sorted and will save yourself a ton of cash 👍🏻 I always hoped to one day get it but was always a bit too pricey! Thanks for checking out the vid 🙌🏻
@@TK421Collectibles Glad collectors that were not around back then are finally getting a chance to add this beast to their collection. I remember $300 (and outrageous shipping fees from the US) felt like a fortune back then. Seeing $300 is basically Hot Toys entry point nowadays brings a lot of food for thought.
Looks like you all have got big wallets. Will you please share your purchases to an owner of a lesser pocket ? Thank you, and by the way that is not sarcasm, I mean it. See you all.
@@TK421Collectibles It was a mere HKD4980 on TBA before it sold out, so with shipping would be around the HKD6500 that you predicted way back on the AOTC Anakin blogger post. Pre-ordered mine from TOF so don’t even know my total yet! But deposit was over £100 which’ll take the edge off.
Finally!! Looking forward to this. I know I have a bit of time as my order is with Lee Ward. Cant wait to see your review on this when you get bud. Well I better start getting stuff to make a diorama for this and the other sandtroopers. Definitely going to have him on top of the Dewback. 😊
Wow yeah can't wait to see what you come up with for your diorama as they always look epic! Hopefully you will do a vid mate!! I've also got this PO'd with Lee 🙌🏻
Hot Toys going big with the first Star Wars release of the year 🙌
Ha yeah!! And they possibly just released FOTY already and we're not even out of January yet! 😅🙌🏻
Now We're Talkin'!
This is gonna be expensive....to put a new wing on the place to house this thing 😂 LFG!! 👊🏻
Haha yeah, it's definitely a room-buster! Srsly need a bigger house 🤣🤣🤣
Ordered via Sideshow. Shipping and Tax will break me!
Ooh yeah thats potentially going to be a big hit unfortunately!! But ultimately worth it as it's going to look incredible!! Cheers for watching James 🙌🏻
100$ shipping and another 300$ import tax.
Preordered two of the sergeant figures. Broke the wallet but worth it. Can’t wait to receive them! I have no space presently for the Dewback.
Yeah they pricey!! 😅 I have the set on preorder so just sticking with that. Might be a while til I get it tho, but will be worth the wait! 😃

Haha yeah it feels like it's been ages as well! Like the wait for the AT-RT! And yeah love seeing the EPIV logo! 😍 Cheers for watching mate! 🙌🏻
Great looking figures! Funny that they used the frame from an old hiking backpack for the sand troopers equipment 😆
Haha yeah, and for the some of the sandtroopers there's a large shower head on the back pack too 😅
@@TK421Collectibles they have to stay clean for the Empire 🤣
@@PToastman also a toilet syphon. As a plumber it’s all I can see 😂
@@mitchd9997 ha, it's crazy to see how the props were cobbled together from everyday items 🤣
Yes!!! Cant wait for this to show up!!
Yeah the final wait! Will probably feel like forever!! 😅🙌🏻
Ya, im in the states so i preorder thru sideshow, so i get it about a month after you 😭😭😭
Finally!
I first saw the Sergeant figure in the HT Catalogue around 2015.
Definitely gonna pick one up in figure only version.
Gonna look brilliant next to the Sandtrooper Officer in the "look sir, droids" pose
2015?!? wow a decade ago, that's craaazy!! Finally here! 😅 Yeah can't wait to get this trooper in next to the Officer! Cheers for watching Peter! 🙌🏻
Looking really good, can't wait for mines to arrive from Sideshow
Yeah really looking forward to unboxing this one!! Thanks for watching and commenting 🙌🏻
Great video as always! Pre-ordered mine "A long time ago..."😂 Super thrilled to see it finally released! Can't wait fir mine!🎉
Haha yeah August 2023 when I PO'd!! 😅 I think it's going to be worth the wait 😃
Looks great. Don't think I have room for the Dewback so will just get the Sergeant.
Ngl I'm a bit worried where it's going to go 😅 So yeah I dont blame you just getting the Sergeant, saves you a load of cash too! 🙌🏻
Oh man. Gonna be my purchase of the year 100%. Really hope he’s easy enough to find. Looking forward to your review on these.
It could be FOTY 2025 already couldn't it and we're not even out of January!! 😅
@ exactly what I was thinking 😂. What a way to start the year.
It looks amazing but I don’t have the room for it, I only PO two troopers maybe later I’ll get one.
Yeah gonna take up a lot of space this one!! Thanks for watching 🙌🏻
They released it today on my birthday, that's pretty cool! 😃
Woo congrats! Happy birthday 🎈🎂🥳🍻
@ Thank you! 🙏
Broooooo!!! And this is MY GRAIL!!!
Yessss mate!!! Hot Toys already bringing the heat for 2025!! 🙌🏻

For a newer collector, I hope we get more original trilogy figures.
There's just something special about the original S.T.
100% agree with you!! Considering how large the Sequels, Mando and Clone Wars lines are, its sad to see the OT kinda somewhat neglected!

So glad I preordered this! Just got my Joker 2.0 deluxe and John Wick this week. Now waiting on this, Jack Sparrow and range trooper!
Wow, awesome figures you mention there!! Congrats Steve!! 🙌🏻
Waiting for the order to be fulfill so just shipping to go through and this thing can finally come home!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 hope it’s soon!
Yeah I think everyone is desperate to get this one in the collection!! Looks amazing doesn't it!! Hope it arrives soon for you 🤞🏻🙌🏻
