I definitely agree with that. Not that I mind the Clones, but wow some OTC love was way past due.

The Snowtrooper and the E-web are $150 each. Ouch. Wil lget them but from retailers and not SS.

The eyes seem a bit too small. Otherwise it looks great. Hopefully it will be on a good body and not a rag doll body anymore. Don't care about the exclusive rifle at all, it didn't appear in the hands of an ESB Snowtrooper = don't need it. Will order a Snowtrooper at other retailers and maybe an E-web too.

BTW some details for those interested: 501st Legion: Snowtrooper and Profiles in History Snowtrooper page 355.

The screen used ESB Snowtrooper in the above auction:

I bit on both. There went $300, but by the time is actually ships I ought to be ok and have built my SW Account back up again. I couldn't resist the Exclusive Version. That E-Web looked fantastic to me too. I have a feeling the PF will sell out quickly in that it includes the vintage rifle.

I don't mind the mask is made of solid plastic instead of vinyl, just imagine what could happen to a low quality thin vinyl sheet over years. The original ILM Snowtrooper vinyl shroud looks ok after these years but it is much thicker than it would be in 1:6 scale. Plus to have a vinyl sheet in 1:6 you need a good quality material and to be a head under it to hold it = price up.

Wish though the eyes were bigger and to have some kind of an option in designing the helmet's shroud not to be identical on all troops if you have more than one on display. I ordered my regular at Razor's and thinking of the E-web Cannon but I simply don't see $150 there. $150 is half of a good quality 1:1 helmet, not a 1:6 plastic toy. Will think about this longer

I have to admit I kept this pre-order, but cancelled the E-Web Blaster. It was as much as the daggone figure!

I think we will all be pleased with this.
