Hot Toys Shadow Stormtrooper Unboxing & Review 

admit it, you're probably going to use that backdrop more than than posing the figure. It's like the Thanos base all over again.

They only ever showed up in video Games and comics. But it being in that movie series for hot toys could mean something.

“Over time, it just dangles down.” 😢 yeah it’s true

I don’t mind the weathering and I’m very glad they re-issued this. Been eyeballing the secondary market so this was a dream come true

Justin seems to think the holster and pouches are real leather. What’s your assessment?

Jedha, please do a vid on figure photography lighting. I don't know what it is about your style but it just looks better than most IMO.

Nice 👍 I heard that you can buy the diorama separately? Am wondering if that is true? The same for the other Stormtrooper.

Yes, it's from that Star Wars movie called "Battlalion". 😉 I know it's subjective, but the silver/reversed out eyes and teeth are so goofy to me I just see little black dots/pupils there, so cartoony. There's a really good reason with the other black ones they didn't do that. Dating all the way back to 77 with the tie pilot helmets... just my design 2c!

I received the normal trooper and the shadow trooper together and as much as I like the shadow trooper, I just didn’t think it had much presence because it didn’t stand out in the display, the backdrop helps a tonne, but doesn’t compete with the classic trooper for me

Nice!!! You can use dummy batteries with ac power adapter cord usb if you don't want to use the other batteries 😮

Those three look amazing together

This or purge trooper, which is favorite?

Only ever been in the comics and battlefront game. Hopefully they’ll be a movie or new series show at some point in the future. That would be very cool.

I'm curious how it would look if the armor parts were matte?

the answer is very simple, its in movie series because the figure is recolor of the new hope trooper which is in movie.

Has Sideshow shipped these yet?

I left a video about the first human head transfer for this. This was also cool

I have two of these and two storm troopers coming.

The helmet on this one always feels oversized to me, or the body too skinny Maybe its just the black paint. I'd love to see it next to the white ANH and ROJ Stormtroopers for comparison.

Why don't they just use leather on the hot toys ?

I already have two of these shadow troopers on pre-order and getting my battle damaged Darth Vader to go along with them in a display

That’s a badass figure!

Rogue One?

Why batteries in first place just go USB?? it’s 2024!

was not in a movie. would love to see it in a movie tho

Huh how did you get this so fast?

No usb powered base is a huge let down.
