[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha yeah, it's definitely a room-buster! Srsly need a bigger house 🤣🤣🤣

[@tuly3081]

You're the fastest KZbinr on the interwebs TK! Great vid bro this is going to be an absolute unit! What a beast can't wait to get this one!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha cheers Tuly!!! And yeah same, I can't wait to see this up close!! 🙌🏻

[@daniel_sc1024]

I have always suspected that TK421 secretly works for Hot Toys.

[@beskarkid]

Hot Toys going big with the first Star Wars release of the year 🙌

[@TK421Collectibles]

Ha yeah!! And they possibly just released FOTY already and we're not even out of January yet! 😅🙌🏻

[@PToastman]

Great looking figures! Funny that they used the frame from an old hiking backpack for the sand troopers equipment 😆

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha yeah, and for the some of the sandtroopers there's a large shower head on the back pack too 😅

[@PToastman]

@@mitchd9997 ha, it's crazy to see how the props were cobbled together from everyday items 🤣

[@CommanderGree-iu1is]

Great video as always! Pre-ordered mine "A long time ago..."😂 Super thrilled to see it finally released! Can't wait fir mine!🎉

[@TK421Collectibles]

Haha yeah August 2023 when I PO'd!! 😅 I think it's going to be worth the wait 😃

[@peterdeazley2031]

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

[@TK421Collectibles]

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! 🙌🏻

[@pilot6420]

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.

[@TK421Collectibles]

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 🙌🏻

[@JasonBrown-th3bd]

Yes!!! Cant wait for this to show up!!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah the final wait! Will probably feel like forever!! 😅🙌🏻

[@JasonBrown-th3bd]

Ya, im in the states so i preorder thru sideshow, so i get it about a month after you 😭😭😭

[@mitchd9997]

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.

[@TK421Collectibles]

It could be FOTY 2025 already couldn't it and we're not even out of January!! 😅

[@mitchd9997]

@ exactly what I was thinking 😂. What a way to start the year.

[@Jameshumphrey-h1t]

Ordered via Sideshow. Shipping and Tax will break me!

[@TK421Collectibles]

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 🙌🏻

[@Yaahzy1]

100$ shipping and another 300$ import tax.

[@TKMagicShop]

Broooooo!!! And this is MY GRAIL!!!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yessss mate!!! Hot Toys already bringing the heat for 2025!! 🙌🏻

[@stevea8099]

Looks great. Don't think I have room for the Dewback so will just get the Sergeant.

[@TK421Collectibles]

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! 🙌🏻

[@bobathecrane1966]

They released it today on my birthday, that's pretty cool! 😃

[@TK421Collectibles]

Woo congrats! Happy birthday 🎈🎂🥳🍻

[@bobathecrane1966]

@ Thank you! 🙏

[@charliebrownfrowns]

Waiting for the order to be fulfill so just shipping to go through and this thing can finally come home!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼 hope it’s soon!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah I think everyone is desperate to get this one in the collection!! Looks amazing doesn't it!! Hope it arrives soon for you 🤞🏻🙌🏻

[@daniel_sc1024]

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.

[@TK421Collectibles]

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 😅

[@tinyartguy]

Looking good Chris! Liking the fur and other textures

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah mate, looks like it's going to be worth the wait! 😃

[@tinyartguy]

@ good luck finding space for it 😂

[@TK421Collectibles]

@@tinyartguy 🤣Thanks I'm gonna need it!! 😅

[@01macca]

Ordered day one finally it’s coming looks awesome

[@TK421Collectibles]

Just checked and I PO'd in August 2023 😅 Will be worth the wait 🙌🏻

[@bennobenny750]

For a newer collector, I hope we get more original trilogy figures. There's just something special about the original S.T.

[@TK421Collectibles]

100% agree with you!! Considering how large the Sequels, Mando and Clone Wars lines are, its sad to see the OT kinda somewhat neglected!

[@bennobenny750]

@@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.

[@stevemischlich2180]

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!

[@TALON80s]

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.

[@TK421Collectibles]

Maybe thats the way things will go mate. Although think I will struggle to let go of figures 😨😭

[@mods-qo4pr]

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!

[@TK421Collectibles]

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 🙌🏻

[@mods-qo4pr]

@@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.

[@TK421Collectibles]

@@mods-qo4pr yeah you're right! Amazingly well spotted Sir! 👊🏻

[@rperisho163]

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.

[@TK421Collectibles]

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! 😅

[@melchiah_]

80cm ! damn that's bigger than I imagined, :O I preordered sgt. and dewback

[@TK421Collectibles]

Definitely gonna take up a chunk of space!! Congrats on the PO! 🙌🏻

[@melchiah_]

@@TK421Collectibles I'll worry about the space later lol, for now I'm just focused on securing these pieces before they hit secondary market prices.

[@lycanoftheunderworldselene]

Are you planning on having any backdrops in your displays?

[@TK421Collectibles]

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?

[@lycanoftheunderworldselene]

​@@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.

[@TK421Collectibles]

@@lycanoftheunderworldselene Awesome idea with the fish tank!!

[@AxisChemicals]

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 ?!

[@TK421Collectibles]

Yeah this piece is difficult with not much space!! I'm still not totally sure where it is going yet! Would love Hot Toys to make Jabba!! 🙌🏻

[@malekith8447]

@@AxisChemicals You can order the Dewback separately. I‘m pretty sure it’s going to be easy to find.

[@jedibear4307]

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...

[@TK421Collectibles]

I think once you work your photographic magic on this set it's going to look incredible! 🙌🏻

[@malekith8447]

Where will you get him from?

[@TK421Collectibles]

Got this pre-ordered with The Good the Bad and the Robots.

[@tee_kay]

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.

[@TK421Collectibles]

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 🙌🏻

[@tee_kay]

@@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.

[@alexmaff1]

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]

You don't necessarily need a big wallet, you just need to be able to make poor financial choices 😅 Thanks for checking out the vid 🙌🏻

[@paulclancy4221]

Even if I wanted it, it's too big.
