The canister that you mention, on the stormtrooper's back, is in fact a handgrenade with unmarked buttons. The reason for that is that only the trooper knows the right combination to make it explode, so the grenade can not be used against him. I love you videos!
I believe Ralph McQuarrie initially intended that canister to store the hilt of the stormtroopers lightsaber. In early concept art, stormtroopers wielded them as well.
The reason for the change was to save on production cost. They made about 50 troopers for ANH and resided them for TESB. By time ROTJ started filming most the costumes were to warn and buster to use. So the used a few of the old parts to make molds, this process deformed alot of things. Like the helmet and the shoulder bells. The raised edge is actualy window gasket. Used more as a greeble, it also reduced pinch on wearers.
The mould they used to make the helmets for the movie collapsed on them while making the helmets, that's why ROTJ has such a distinctive look to the helmets
Justin what an awesome figure! I love the 1/6 scale Stormtrooper figures and the amount of detail that goes into those figures is truly amazing. I have to pick up a 1/6 scale Stormtrooper I love Stormtroopers.
I'm with you on that one Justin, it was always the Stormtroopers and Scout Troopers above all other figures for me too growing up. I have got to own this one! Same with the upcoming Sandtrooper.
Loved the Trooper when I was a kid, one of my favorite toys growing up! I got mine recently and it's awesome. I might have to try and get my hands on the ANH version as well. Great review Justin, love your channel.
I'm more an EP4 TK lover, well, more a Rogue One TK lover nowadays, but these RotJ ones are insanely cool and deserve a place in the HT lineup for sure. I'd snap a few up if I could.
Excellent review! I'm not familiar with the differences in the storm trooper looks between the films so the flaws aren't apparent to me. Also with all these ROTJ figures it would be cool to see a full display like that ones were done for attack of the clones
Nah but what you said about when you were younger, wanting the basic stormtrooper over the other named characters, was so accurate for me too, I remember just wanting stormtroopers, they just made me so excited 🤣 something about the armour and helmet just hits different, now i get a bit sick of the constant trooper releases. but this one really gives me that nostalgia I had for the stormtroopers again.
Great video review as usual. I was hoping you could make a more detailed comparison between the rogue one trooper and this release, as most people say the rogue one is better and has less weathering. I haven’t been able to find a full comparison anywhere.
I already have 5 of this Stormtroopers but don’t have the diorama so I PO two of them so I’ll have the perfect num 7. Also why do they always give us the villains? I know they look cool but the good guys look cool as well, the rebels on Princess Leia starship that Vader cut down when fleeing Scarif I would love to see those being made in 1/6 scale and yet nothing, and that saddened me.
Question for EU/UK collectors: how/where do you personally go about buying or pre ordering Hot Toys figures? So much distribution seems to be US focussed only.
Freaking Awesome looking, Hot Toys "Stormtrooper" Figure! Justin my Man!? You're like a Famous Magician Performing Unbelievable Magic, in front of the Audience Eyes. I truly love your Toys Reviewing! Keep the Magic growing on your Channel, Friend! 🪄🪄🪄👍👍
The light up feature is nice but super inconvenient. Would never use it just cuz it’s a bitch to get to unfortunately😢 Wish they would do both battery and wired power as well. Is it that hard and expensive to do?
@@JustinsCollection Rogue One's are great :), the ANH is a good one as well, just as mentioned below and in your video - this ROTJ version is just another time stamp out of that era
Can't beat the originals. Disney's ST helmet is serviceable as a helmet that can be made uniform and in mass, but it just doesn't have the appeal of the originals with all their hand crafted charm.
Hot Toys makes the Stormtrooper's gun stock work.....but not the clones? Something we've actually seen work in the Clone Wars at least once. Okeeeee Looks pretty awesome, that helmet though wooooof, which is the design not Hot Toy's fault I guess, I never noticed but I'll be keeping an eye out next time I watch the movies. Finally got them back not long ago so that'll be fun
The canister that you mention, on the stormtrooper's back, is in fact a handgrenade with unmarked buttons. The reason for that is that only the trooper knows the right combination to make it explode, so the grenade can not be used against him. I love you videos!
I learned something nerdying new I always thought it was like a o2 tank

Nice thank you!
It also doubles as a mortar round. In the mandalorian, a motor stormtrooper can be seen loading these canisters in a mortar tube

Ah thanks for the info!
Got two of these on order to flank my upcoming return of the Jedi Darth Vader and to battle my Mando Luke and I couldn't be happier
Perfect display
Nice!
Love this Stormtrooper! Also ANH and ESB versions. I hope HT will release ESB stormtroopers
I hope we get ESB also
Haha yeah mate I relate. I love normal Storm-Troopers and wanted to army build them from a young age. Same with clones.
Legit! Clones for me too!
Got this on order and cannot wait to get him in my collection. Thanks for the review it's a great preview!
No probs!

Heaps more Star Wars coming!
Whenever Justin posts, I know it’s gonna be a good day
We know
Heck yeah!

Nice!

"These are not the droids we are not looking for."
Lol
Great review, Justin! That stormtrooper is looking fantastic!
Thank you!
💯 % stormtrooper agreed! Nice review Justin
Thank you!

Thank you! I may do a more in depth comparison at some point

Woah 5 is dope!
In your opinion do you think Hot Toys will release an ESB stormtrooper?
Thanks for this great video on this ROTJ trooper.
Not sure, they seem to be shy about doing classic TKs
Question for EU/UK collectors: how/where do you personally go about buying or pre ordering Hot Toys figures? So much distribution seems to be US focussed only.
Hope someone can answer for you
@@JustinsCollection appreciate it :)
I prefer Toys Buying Agent (Hong Kong) or La Cité des Nuages in Belgium. Great stock, great prices!
Hopefully I can still put an order in. Looks great.
He does!
Freaking Awesome looking, Hot Toys "Stormtrooper" Figure! Justin my Man!? You're like a Famous Magician Performing Unbelievable Magic, in front of the Audience Eyes. I truly love your Toys Reviewing! Keep the Magic growing on your Channel, Friend! 🪄🪄🪄👍👍
I try my best!

Yep no thought put into making it user friendly at all
THANKS FOR THE REVIEW 🔥
I WANT THIS ONE BAD :D
No probs!
Hey Justin, would you say this version is better then the rogue one version? Thinking of getting one
Nope, that one is still my favourite
They still didn't get the shoulders right?
Oh?
So that stock is the actual one on the sterling. It just looks a little loose.
Noted!
Wow he looks amazing 🥹🤩
He does!
What is the best HT most accurate Stormtrooper atm regarding to you?
ANH or Rogue One for me
@@JustinsCollection Rogue One's are great :), the ANH is a good one as well, just as mentioned below and in your video - this ROTJ version is just another time stamp out of that era
Justin is there any way you could review the inart paul dune figure with the rooted hair
Of course! When he comes out
where does it say its rotj ?
It doesn’t, but it is.
Awesome dude 2nd I think
Close!
Pure reissue
Kinda, its a bit yellower
Hey Justin, great review! Any plans on getting new Mace Windu and Mando Obi?
Thanks! Of course!
@@JustinsCollection Awesome! Looking forward to it!
Can you take the helmet off to reveal his face?
Nope
Nice!!!!
Thanks!
Definitely the strangest looking stormtroopers of the original trilogy
Agreed
This was a epic video ❤
Love the new intro 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Can't beat the originals. Disney's ST helmet is serviceable as a helmet that can be made uniform and in mass, but it just doesn't have the appeal of the originals with all their hand crafted charm.
Fair enough!
YES FINALLY 🤩🤩🤩
Yes!

Yeah so strange, both the stock and the ugly helmet!
This isn’t a clean Stormtrooper. It has dirt on the boots and other places.
It’s a plain glossy white stormtrooper though. I stand by what I said
Love your videos and also can you make a review on the bossk slideshow figure
Maybe!
There’s a fine line in weathering. If it’s TOO subtle, the whole thing just looks like a dusty toy.
Agreed
I live for the day where I can use “hot toys” and “army build” in the same sentence.
Yeah I meant more like 2 max haha
Noice!
Thanks!

Yo!
兄貴、予約したぜ
Enjoy!
