It's cool and all, but I feel like you have to be a serious SW collector and lover to buy a full scale replica of a trooper. Vader sure, yoda of course, but a death trooper?

Yeah I can't imagine the money and space you'd need to collect these and then to also want a Death Trooper. The thing I don't get about these lifesize things is how rigid they are with everything. Like for $8,000 I should be able to grab that blaster out of his hands and it should be a good rendition of the blaster and not a piece of hollow plastic that's attached to the hands.

For $8,000 I can get a sex doll with a titanium skeleton that can fool an HOV lane camera. They can do better and at half the price.

Riiiiight, that's why you have a sex doll, to fool HOV lane cameras. Yeah...we believe you.

Seriously though, for $8000, I expect it to cook me breakfast.

I'm not a 501st member, but I used to know one. If I remember correctly, he spent about $1000 to make an awesome Capt Rex armor which has cooling fans and stuff. It looked great too! So I imagine for $1000, you can probably make an Authentic Death Trooper armor which you can wear, and then you just have to spend some money to buy one of those store mannequins to wear it when you're displaying it. I give it $2000 tops.

Imperial Guard! The original red ones... that is the only life size SW stature I would want. Would probably be cheap too... just the helmet and cloth basically.

I am serious. They did a tour of the factory in Germany some 20 years ago on the HBO series Real Sex. Dolls are solid rubber over a titanium steel skeleton with rooted hair, glass eyes, eye lashes, and come dressed however you want. The one limit was they don't do real people, like celebrities, but the quality is high enough to fool HOV cameras, which is not easy to do. Not long after, another company popped up in Japan making Asian versions. Of course they can afford that kind of stuff, but if I thought I could get one that looked like an Orion slave girl from Star Trek, I would find a way.

:D
