One more question, when you mean loose, do you mean like the figure won't be able to hold a pose with its arm extending out full length holding the gun?Jceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278037179078462592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3516693355743712750.post-53258837334258533802009-04-29T10:21:00.000+08:002009-04-29T10:21:00.000+08:00hi Jcee, plucked from Sideshow's site: "The Promet...hi Jcee, plucked from Sideshow's site: "The Prometheus body, created by the Sideshow Collectibles Design and Development Team, has forms to fill out traditional garments more naturally, with smoother contours and muscle features. It also employs ball-joints at the wrists and ankles to give these areas a very wide range of articulation! The Armored Figure body, created in collaboration with Hot Toys, has a slimmer build to fit into armored costumes without looking bulky."<br /><br />There's also a picture (see link: http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?p=4373)<br /><br />The problem is that the joints are not tight like Hot Toys but rather loose and needs the display stand for most poses. The poses i managed to take were after a lot of posing and balancing and trying to get the center of gravity right. Hope these help answer your questions :)alex teohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434098393320787285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3516693355743712750.post-21344463618493789362009-04-29T09:51:00.000+08:002009-04-29T09:51:00.000+08:00Thanks for the comparison Alex!

The Sideshow white is very clean bright white. <br /><br />Another question is, since I am not a 6th scale collector, what type of articulation should I expect from the Sideshow trooper? For example, are the legs ball joints to the pelvis, etc?<br /><br />Sorry for all the questions! But I am really interested in this figure!Jceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09278037179078462592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3516693355743712750.post-50309355127664469592009-04-28T18:40:00.000+08:002009-04-28T18:40:00.000+08:00hey joshua, i'm skipping this as i'm more keen on ...hey joshua, i'm skipping this as i'm more keen on the plain white troopers which appeared in the films - more movie accurate. Color markings for rank did not appear until the prequels with the clone troopers. The thick blue stripe down his helmet looks like Jason from Friday 13th took an axe and tried to cut the helmet in half; i'm just not comfortable with it.<br /><br />the only dirty troopers i can accept are the sandtroopers with their color shoulder pauldrons for rank.<br /><br />CHEERS! hope u pick up yoursalex teohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434098393320787285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3516693355743712750.post-44268674430189485542009-04-28T16:36:00.000+08:002009-04-28T16:36:00.000+08:00would you be getting the stormtrooper commander va...would you be getting the stormtrooper commander variant???<br /><br /><br />i think its going for 150 too.Joshuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09524417424563138082noreply@blogger.com
