That said, the response to the Stormtrooper has been phenomenal, thanks a ton to everyone! We just might get to make another one! You have seen it. He shoots MOVIES, you silly goose. How likely are color variants as opposed to a new character? This is what I'm most curious about... seems like they'd want to get at least one repaint out of the toolings, and the Sandtrooper would be perfect.  Remember BF is a SW fan and this is a lucas colab. To do a correct Sandtrooper would mean a retool of the knee pads and helmet. Not to mention new tooling for the pack, weapons, pouldron, etc. A Shadow Stormtrooper or a Stormtrooper Commander although not as interesting would be doable with zero re-tooling.

 Re: Stormtrooper Jumbo news thread.
I mentioned it before, a "Blue Stars" version in blue/yellow would be excellent. It would look like a Mexican machinder bootleg. You could even put it in a "La Guerra de Galaxias" box.
Also, please approach Mr. Sucklord to do a Gay Empire edition. You could put it on a giant four-foot blister card.

Must investigate. I did some research. Takara did not make a die-cast stormtrooper, and the figures they made they don't fire fists or have wheels (except maybe R2D2).

 Re: Stormtrooper Jumbo news thread.
Yeah, that commander is too clone trooper looking. The shadow trooper would probably be the best scenario using the same tooling. Black with gold and red stickers would look boss. Trying not to derail the thread again, but while looking for an example of the shogun torso sticker I stumbled on, probably, the best picture ever... (edit to a link by Pogue) NSFW http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e305/jorasp/shogun-warrior.jpgand there's more!!! Google image search Shogun Warriors. Yowza!!!
