Stormtrooper 3 3/4 replacement sculpt???

[steveo]

Just wondering if anyone has created a new sculpt for the Hasbro 3 3/4 Stormtrooper? I can't stand the helmets they produce for these figures and tried my hand at doing one awhile ago, but failed miserably. Does anyone offer a better replacement?

Which trooper are you referring to? The one with the removable helmet is pretty weak, but the helmet sculpt that was released with the latest stormtrooper in the vintage line is pretty strong (I believe it's on a really big ball joint).

I just got one of those yesterday and sorry to say, it looks the same to me. It is also a removable helmet and came from the card back with The Empire Strikes Back on it. Is this the same one you're referring to?

The one I'm referring to was a Sandtrooper with A New Hope image on the card. The sandtrooper elements are easily removable. The removable helmet in all of its incarnations is indeed a weak sculpt, but the one used for the sandtrooper and spacetrooper from a few Legacy waves back is a solid sculpt.

Ah, hm, that is better, but still not great.

Thanks for the posts, glorbes. So I guess this is a no. Oh well, guess I'll continue to wait or try my hand again.
