Sideshow Star Wars Stormtrooper Life Size Bust Unboxing 

Call it like you see it. Bravo. Eyes are WAY off, as is a lot of the overall helmet shape. Keepin' it real, where others 'pretend' to. 👍🏼

I cant believe how much better the Hasbro helmet looks on that bust. Its a shame the white isnt the same. This is a fail on Sideshows part, the helmet it comes with look like a Rubies costume.

Look into RS Propmasters bust if you want the real deal, but if you like a hasbro toy you wont like that either though, the props were rough back in 1977, thanks for sharing!

The orginal ones where all painted on the Hasbro is a rogue one . But yes I agree alot of money for it

For stormtroopers, I’d 100% recommend getting an RS Prop Masters bust. It is completely accurate to ANH-unlike this one. With that said, the details WILL be painted on by hand because that’s how it was done in the original movie. As other have said, the BS bucket is based on Rogue One and not ANH so you won’t get those details either. With RS, you get a bust that is “warts and all”-as close as you can get to the props used on screen. Once you start appreciating the subtle handmade details of a prop with legit lineage to the movies, it’s pretty hard to go back. I’m sitting at 4 RS busts now and they are all gems in my collection.

That seems strange. It’s almost like they wanted to keep some things accurate to the OT but not everything. If they were going for appearing like screen used they should have gone all the way, with proper asymmetry, screws, etc. or they should have gone with a Rogue One stylized look.

I can't believe Sideshow made something so cheap looking. I'm sorry. Thanks for letting us know!

Sorry this didn’t go well for you Jorge but s elfishly, anytime you review something that doesn’t get me so excited that I want to buy it, it’s a win for me and my wallet.

The sculpt is accurate to the film. In the original trilogy this is completely accurate. The Hasbro helmet is based on the armour created for Rogue One. That was designed to be absolutely machine tooled perfection. The Stormtrooper bust is always going to look very ‘ahem’ bland next to the Vader and Boba Fett.

Great you are being honest!!! Tell it as you see it!

The efx PCR helmets are essentially higher priced toys. They are more similar to the Black Series helmets than high end replicas of the actual props.

Good that you are being honest about it love that. Sad that it is not what you hoped it would be. I got a few of the hasbro helmets from both star wars and marvel and they are great for the price.

Yeah, but the sticker and paint is accurate, the Hasbro is not accurate at all. If I'm paying $1000, I want accuracy, not a toy like the Black Series helmets. The stormtrooper does seem like a simpler bust to create, and shouldn't be priced as high as the Vader and Fett though.

Glad I watched this video. I was really close to pulling the trigger on this bust. I'll just get the Hasbro helmet, looks much better I agree.

3:27 agree and when they are not it is pathetic for what they charge.

Thanks for your review, my stormtrooper bust is supposed to be shipped this month, and now I'm about to lose my deposit of 100 euros to avoid wasting 900 other euros. I have got the C3PO bust that I loved , and I'm afraid to be disappointed by this one !

What a bummer. Thanks for speaking the truth.

Was about to buy to this to go along with my Boba Fett bust since it is part of the Black Friday sale - thank you for saving me $900!!

That sucks! You can keep it at my house. Lol

Can you return it and take a loss of a restocking fee and call it even with the video content it created? This is why I like videos that are not sponsored, discounted or promoted. Like a review copy. You get a much more honest opinion when it is your hard earned 1k on the line. Great video.

Loved your review on stormtrooper bust. Sorry about the helmet.

I just got mine as well. It is crap, the bust is crooked on the base. Is yours crooked as well? Sideshow tells me they are all crooked and can't replace it with a better item.

Geez man,so sorry to see this,SS totally cheaped out big time

Wow, good thing I passed on this, Maul's Bust is fantastic.

Thank you for the review ... now I know not to waste my money on that one.

Holy shit, it would have been cheaper and better quality to buy a full armour set and cut it up to make your own bust

That’s a shame Jorge, but love the honesty and such in-depth comparison with the hasbro. Can you send it back? Or sell it on? Has this tainted your opinion on getting the Maul? Here’s hoping that’s a better quality bust.

I have the same one still in the box never opened need more room over the winter I’ll finish my basement now after watching the video maybe it will be on e bay soon idk 🤷‍♀️ I also have the older boba fett ESB from sideshow and the Vader reveal version that’s still in box boba is next to my tv

Damn Sorry Jorge, yeah i have to agree.. something for that much money, should not have stickers on it. Should be sculpted in etc.. Should be built to last. Yeah accuracy blah blah.. but the stickers make it look like you say, like a toy.

Appreciate the honesty. And yeah, that bust could look better.

Continuing from Friday's episode we have yet another Sideshow smackdown where the Medinalorian is slaying anyone in his path like Anakin in Revenge of the sith. Slashing prices, shipping, edition sizes and more. The truth shall set you free 🙏

I love the Boba Fett bust

Now you tell me after I bought it lol. Wow a refreshing review that tells it like it is. Thanks for the honest review

Hey bud, I just got into these busts myself. Is it me or are the bases always scratched or painted like shit? Super irritating.

Great review man. Wow glad we didn’t get it. Ohh wow. Painted on sticker. The hell.... it looks fake. Wow.

Can't believe SS would use painted-on or sticker looking components on a sculpt. Wow. That is REALLY cheap. I would definitely return it

I can buy a cosplay costume and display it after seeing that cheap bust. It’s about the detail and quality. I’ll give you $100 for it.

Dang bro.... so sorry to hear it’s a cheap piece of garbage... I could hear it in your voice. Hope you’re able to sell it somehow. On the other hand that Maul bust is epic!

This is why I watch tons of reviews before I buy anything..... I watch reviews like this one. Helmet looks like a rubies helmet.

How sideshow has fallen (at least with Star Wars collectibles)😢

Best part of the whole bust the base it sits on

expensive ouch!

The Stormie bust always looked bad. I've built 2 storm trooper busts through RS Prop masters. Those are direct lineage casts. I've got videos of them on my channel.

Sorry about this piece being a bomb bro. I think they thought because it's simple they cut corners.

The eyes are completely wrong. $995 plus shipping for this?

$1000…!! Ouch

So sorry Medinalorian Crazy the price for this!! Definitely not worth it

Yeah that's upsetting.

Wow those stickers what a let down.

I fell that you have been short- changed and sideshow does not care because they terrible and please look at Phicen Warcraft figures and others they are so well sculpted please take a look also again sorry about that star wars helmet .

This review doesn't make sense. The complaint is that the details look painted and not sculpted in then later saying that the details were originally painted in the '70s. Accurate to the film. I don't get it. Also, the helmet is supposed to be a "creamy" white.

Fu@king horrible helmet. WTH!! Mine is in box still, forgot to cancel it and going to return next week.

wtf is this lol, i'm choked...

wow really bad… are there better ones on the market?

Ah damn bro, can you get a refund?

wow that's hot garbage Sideshow should be ashamed

You look really pissed off with it. Sorry

Totally meaningless what colour the helmet has...one myvasume thats different companiesvinnthe Empire are making helmets so there use different colours.look at modern Military Gear Here helmets have lost of different colours AS Well White ist White...but WHO pays 1000 bucks in an White Dummy when one can buy some 3d prints on Etsy and get THIS thing done for much less
