9-images total of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker in disguise as Storm Trooper shown-above (as seen in "New Hope") - and featuring an extraordinary amount of "cod-piece"-shots - for which you are supposed to be looking at the helmets-in-hand and weapon details (but I ain't gonna go judging you if you do scope the Troop-Cods ;p) ... somewhere within the dark voids of space, a Trooper may exclaim: "I'm a Clone, not a Eunuch!" ... heh.
5-images total for Luke Skywalker in Storm Trooer disguise shown-above. The commentary on the Sideshow TV-preview mentions that Luke's Utility-Belt is different from the regular Storm Trooper-releases, as it features more detailed accessories, as seen in "New Hope".
According to the preview-commentary in Sideshow TV, the Storm Trooper helmets are supposed to be displayed held-in-hand only, and cannot fit the figure's heads-(sculpts). With the amount of detailing in the helmet's interior, you don't want to be trying to squeeze Luke or Han's head-in, innit? I personally like the detailing-aspect of it, something a collector could relish, but not so obvious it can be seen immediately on a display shelf ... but that's just me :)
3-images total of 1/6 Star Wars Blasters shown-above. I've always hankered for 1/6 SW-Blasters, with only Hasbro-bended ones in the past to collect (and kitbash) but alas am unable to afford Sideshow's, much less Medicom's. Anyone know of good decent bootleg 1/6-Star Wars blasters? heh.
