I think everybody Who has watched you guys sometime knew what number 1 would be

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I mean true! With good reason, too. -Justin

[@alannevin2490]

Haven't watched this video yet, but I think I know which is No1 . Is it the Sandtrooper by any chance?

[@mrcawfee.]

Great video as always guys. The 2020 stormtrooper is just one of those figures where you look at it on the shelf and you get shocked that it’s only a $25 action figure. Any and all repaints will be accepted and it’s amazing that it’s being constantly rereleased it seems. Still need to get me a sandtrooper for my imperial trooper shelf section.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yep I wouldn't be opposed to them releasing the Shadow and Commander variants on the new body! Thanks for watching, MrCawfee. -Justin

[@order66103]

Great list! I’d put the incinerator trooper on my list because I just love that red and how it pops. I also think you should do a top 5 Imperial list as well.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Incinerator Trooper is awesome! I love the flame effect. Thanks for watching, Sith Lord 66. -Justin

[@skyrider4789]

The Mando stormtrooper MOLD was the game changer, but that release had a lot of issues with head deformations QC w/gluing helmets. The later releases of this mold seemed to resolve this. I agree with your #1! My only issue with them is the eye paint/alignment issue, but otherwise awesome. IF they did release a new version, with the hold helmet sculpt on the new bod, that could work...🤔 Lastly, I know it's not BS, but the Bandai Stormy model is also great. Cheers!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Yeah since it was a case to case basis I don't really hold that against the figure. I've had a sloppy black line or two, but never any warping. And I got a few when they first came out. Thanks for watching, Sky Rider! -Justin

[@theperceptor9287]

I love me some "bucket heads" . I like the Stormtroopers you guys decided on. No one was surprised that the Sandtrooper is your #1 pick. At least not if they have been watching this channel for awhile.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for checking out the video, Tom! -Justin

[@hyperdrivecollections6460]

My list is comprised mainly of jedha patrol stormtrooper. I love that it can be stripped down to a basic stormtrooper and somehow it’s still quite affordable. Incinerator and mortar trooper are basically the same so I count them as the same. Love the list guys, pretty solid. That sand trooper at #1 though- I dunno guys, it’s time to dethrone it with the new mold

[@OutOfTheBasement]

There's good reason it's our #1! -Justin

[@darthclueless9372]

Artillery, incinerator, 2020 update, mic & sgt kreel. Don’t own the sandtrooper but good articulation is a must for me

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That 2020 sculpt is 🔥🔥🔥 -Justin

[@DarthStormcrow]

Mimban is my absolute favorite.

[@mrryuk9208]

Same! I have the black series one and the vintage collection

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Mimban is great! -Justin

[@PsychoEmerald]

That outro threw me for a loop there for a minute lol. Great picks for your list. Mostly just reminding me of all of the troopers I don't have yet

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Haha thanks for checking out the video, Psycho! -Justin

[@CollectorCody73]

Brilliant Video, Guys! Great picks! One of my favourites are probably Mic from Scar Squadron

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Mic is such a fun figure! Thanks for watching. -Justin

[@CollectorCody73]

Yeah, really cool figure! And no bother, will never miss a video, guys!

[@petethomas3949]

Definitely do a list of the top Imperial Troopers list. I just picked up the ROTJ 40th anniversary Scout Trooper.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Nice! The Scout Trooper is such a great figure. -Justin

[@shawnhull9988]

OG Sandtrooper is some definite plastic perfection. Good list boys.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Appreciate it, Shawn! -Justin

[@orinanime]

The Patrol Trooper, Shadow Troopers and the Mandalorian 2020 Stormtrooper are in a three-way-tie for my top 3. My #4, #5, & Honorable mention slot are also tied. The First Order Stormtrooper. I just love that helmet design. And then, Phasma and Cardinal. I love the silver armor. And I'm a sucker for a Red Stormtrooper. Basically my top "6" are tied. EDIT: oh I forgot about the Purge Trooper. That black and red looks so good If Hasbro ever makes a Luke Skywalker in Imperial Guard Disguise, that would quickly become my #1 top pick. Non-bucket Troopers picks: Scout Trooper Shore Trooper Death Trooper Dark Troopers Hovertank Trooper

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Great list, Aaron! Thanks for watching. -Justin

[@RotalHenricsson]

As a child i was obsessed with Stormtroopers but it's been replaced with good guys Clone Troopers and now i don't have a single regular stormie yet. (Got a carbonized Scout Trooper and a Shadow Stormtrooper but no whitey boi.) Odd. Very odd. I've got to get me one of those.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I would at the very least get an Imperial Stormtrooper (The Mandalorian). Such a great figure that could work in any display! -Justin

[@jpersaud5915]

There's storage for the E-11 for the Artillery stormtrooper? 😶Where?!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

It’s on the backpack! -Nate

[@wayneduckett1961]

Got 40 of the original orange box stormtrooper. Currently standing at 4 of the new 2020 stormtrooper. I’ll try to get it up to 20. I’ve got the variants on the 2020 mold. Countless other Empire army builders. At least 8 of each. You can never have enough imperials!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Can never have too many troopers! Thanks for watching, Wayne. 😎 -Justin

[@daviddoane8030]

Love the top 5, you should do a top 10 imperial character, jedi, clone, alien etc

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I'd be down for that! Thanks for watching, David. -Justin

[@AdamC3012]

Wild to think an Orange Line figure still holds up

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Right?!? It's so good. -Justin

[@kobeosborne8947]

I really like the look of the Shadow Stormtrooper from The Force Unleashed, just wish it was on the new mold.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I'd be down for them to do it on the new mold! -Justin

[@kingofkrakatoa]

I have 5 to 8 stories coming from bbts. Was expecting July so I had to cancel other stuff that also just showed up

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Oh wow! Thanks for watching, kingofkrakatoa. -Justin

[@tombowling8646]

Oh no, guys! I have no buckets in my collection. They're always sold out at my local Walmart and Target, and they're always full price or more on the line. I do have two Dark Troopers though.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

No buckets?!?! Tom!!! -Justin

[@tombowling8646]

Yeah, Justin, I know. I'm a freakin' disgrace. I'll work on it though. 🥸

[@daredevil7010]

We need a redue of The A New Hope Stormtrooper with the holster

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I would be down to get the holster! -Justin

[@Fig_Fury]

Solid list fellas. My top 5 are 1. Shadow Storm Trooper 2. Sand Trooper 3. Incendiary Trooper 4. Artilery Trooper 5. 2020 Trooper. Curious to see if the ROTJ 40th Stromy is on par with 2020.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Great list, Fig! Appreciate you checking out ours. -Justin

[@Albertk96]

Your love affair with that Sandtrooper is legendary. I'm not a fan of the mid-quality splotchy weathering or pinned joints myself, but agreed with the rest of you list. Nice work!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

"Mid-quality splotchy weathering" bro noooooooo. So much better than poop troop. -Justin

[@Albertk96]

@@OutOfTheBasement ha ha, poop troop indeed! That one always cracks me up.

[@PsychoEmerald]

What do you mean by splotchy? That thing is evenly coated in dust and grime, just like a sandtrooper should be. Agree with you on the pinned joints tho, I much prefer the new style.

[@davidedge2828]

What about the SCOUT TROOPER??!!! 😅😅 I always watch, but I never listen!! Good list and hard to argue with, but I would push the Jump trooper helmet into the 'owd mix.... Not absolutely, purist, traditional, but a banging "lid" to be sure!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Gotta love the Jump Trooper! AND GRRRRR NO SCOUT TROOPER! -Justin

[@davidedge2828]

@@OutOfTheBasement Well, you did say it was Stormtrooper helmets only about 3 times!!...

[@theperceptor9287]

Hello David, the Jump Trooper is a good figure. Scout Trooper is a "bucket head" just a different style bucket. Not all "buckets are the same shape and size.

[@davidedge2828]

[@theperceptor9287]

@@davidedge2828 I have a Commander on my shelf and I think I have another still in box in my second bedroom storage? And I think I've got one or two of the regular Rocket Troopers in there as well. 🤔

[@brettonfett]

Great list, I think the only thing I would change is somehow get the Jedha patrol trooper in there, black dots or not I love that figure, but a top 5 is hard to do.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

We love those black dots! Lol naw the Jedha Patrol Stormtrooper is awesome! -Justin

[@TheZooBoy111]

The only Solo figure I have is Dryden Vos, so I did not know how good those Solo troopers are! Definitely will have to pick those up at some point. Would also love to see a Top 5 Imps video!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Solo gave us some awesome troopers for sure! Thanks for watching, Zoo Boy. -Justin

[@jedijam91]

Since you just did the Top 5 Bucket Heads, maybe you can do a top 5 non buckets.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

True that! -Justin

[@roguekiller627]

Nate have Justin print ya a speeder for the Patrol trooper.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Need the design first! -Justin

[@80sKidfromthe90s]

The Gaming Greats Stormtrooper Commander looks awesome!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

It does! I'd be down for them to do that one on the new body, honestly. -Justin

[@80sKidfromthe90s]

@@OutOfTheBasement are we talking about the one from Jedi Fallen Order?

The 2020 mold is so good! Can't wait to grab a couple more on the ROTJ card back.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Oh it's gonna be great! -Justin

[@thegillman777]

Great choices! Were Kreel & Mic excluded because they are not army builders? Just curious, as those are two of my favorite recent releases

Awesome video guys. Great list. Very happy to see the sand trooper get the love it deserves. Recently received it as a gift and it's amazing for figure photography.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks for watching, Tay 23! Have a great day. -Justin

[@Wolfstalker25Reviews]

Nice list guys! Personally, I'd probably change a few things around I'd at least have the GameStop Shadow Trooper in there but doing this only as a top 5 would be rough.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

The Shadow Trooper is awesome! -Justin

[@michealjackson7386]

I like these two ngl 3:14

[@OutOfTheBasement]

They're amazing! It was a grail for sure when I finally picked up that set. -Justin

[@KollektorKahn]

Ima be honest I don’t really care for the sand trooper. But hey this is what it’s about every one has what they like and I love seeing what people like and don’t like. 👍

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Who's your favorite trooper?! Thanks for watching! -Justin

[@skyrider4789]

The patrol trooper is cool for sure, but the white plastic they used is different from other trooper white, which stands out as odd to me. Agreed they should've released the bike. Now I have to design or print one.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Send that design over so I can print it too, lol! -Justin

[@PowerGlove84]

Knowing yall I got a good feeling I know what #1 is gonna be lmao

[@OutOfTheBasement]

😏

[@jeffpeters3601]

Super random but I have a feeling that the super battle droid will come out as a gaming figure for Jedi survivor and I think they’ve been waiting for the release perhaps… sorry for the random comment but I know you guys are dying to get this figure

[@OutOfTheBasement]

I'll take it if we could also get a regular prequel version! -Justin

[@jeffpeters3601]

I agree !

[@dubbela07]

Called #1 and #2 😂

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Tee hee! -Justin

[@nathanmurfitt5046]

Great list base boys 👍

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Thanks, Nathan! -Justin

[@EndHall]

Imagine if they made a Sandtrooper on the 2020 body with the same paint weathering on the blue line… that would be the peak of BS collecting there isn’t much higher you can go w that. I love giving my imperial Shock trooper from BF the backpack and purge trooper Pauldron to make a Shock-Sandtrooper. Nice vid boys!

[@OutOfTheBasement]

That would indeed be a chef's kiss action figure! Thanks for checking out the new video, David. Have a good rest of your week! -Justin

[@soupdragon6205]

What a shock, did not see that coming. Sandtrooper shills lol, great stream guys.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Sandtrooper Shills! Now that's a title I love. -Justin

[@RyanByrne999]

I love the Remnant Stormtrooper.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

Ya like what ya like!

[@MarkyD1967]

Good list. But one of my favorites is the Jedha Patrol Stormtrooper with the antennae back pack (that looks and works best when setup UNDERNEATH the pauldron). Now if only Hasbro would update your beloved Sandtrooper with the new body it would go down in history as one of the best action figure of all time in any franchise, not just Star Wars.

[@OutOfTheBasement]

If they do the same quality of paint on the 2020 Stormtrooper body it probably would be our favorite figure! Thanks for watching as always, MarkyD! -Justin
