STAR WARS Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike Action Figure Review - Sideshow Collectibles
Get your Ewok mace and keep a lookout for them in the trees: Sideshow Collectibles has a Scout Trooper and Speeder Bike combo from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi that you can buy. Highly detailed and very posable, this figure is ready to be displayed in a variety of fun ways. He comes with a little hold out blaster and big ol' sniper rifle, as well as a variety of hands — including a pair that are specifically made to go with the Speeder Bike.
After some assembly, the Speeder Bike looks fantastic. I felt like I was putting together a snap-it model, except it looked a lot more awesome after I was done. It even has a real canvas tarp on the back end that you can fold out and find an Imperial logo on it. I really appreciate that its stand has a pivot point so you can give it the appearance of banking.
The details on these collectible action figures are incredible, and we wanted to highlight those details in the video I shot below. Sideshow and Hot Toys never seem to disappoint with their amazing action figure creations.
Now all I need is for Sideshow to release some Ewoks so I can have them beat up the Trooper while they steal his bike. What? Ewoks are thugs, man. I've also included the product photos and descriptions from Sideshow Collectibles. To get on the waitlist for either of these, click here and here.
Sideshow's description for the Scout Trooper :
From Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, Sideshow Collectibles is proud to present the Scout Trooper Sixth Scale Figure.
Far more mobile than Stormtrooper units, Imperial Scout Troopers were assigned to the forest moon of Endor to patrol perimeters, perform reconnaissance missions, and identify enemy positions. Capable of reaching breakneck speeds on their Speeder Bikes, the Scout Troopers raced between the trees in an unforgettable chase against Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia, as they attempted to warn the shield generator stations of the Rebel Alliance's presence during the Battle of Endor.
Armed to provide rear-guard cover with their blaster pistol, the Scout Troopers are trained as efficient survivalists, equipped with lightweight armor, utility belt, sidearm boot holster, and helmets with enhanced macrobinocular view plates for efficient target acquisition. Displayed with a forest terrain base, or piloting the Sixth Scale Speeder Bike (sold separately), these loyal scouts are ready to be assigned to their post.
