There are discussions if the figures are Luke & Han in disguise...

Yeah, I am hearing the same thing. Could be, one is a little shorter than the other.

Thanks for posting that Serg. It sure would seem like a better deal for the set.

Is the single version different from the two set though? I thought maybe it looked a bit different, but it probably is just one or the other of the two pack I guess.

IMO the price is a bit high compared to SSC figures, but HT figures are always more expensive.
I think the single one is the tall one.

Yeah, we knew they would be more, but the expense if off the charts. Gonna have to wait for an AT-AT Driver before I shell out that kind of cash I believe. Never say never with me though.

SSC will make an AT-AT Driver for sure, not sure if HT will make one though. The problem lays with the raising SSC prices too, they are getting closer and closer to HT prices.

You got that right Serg. A person has to be very selective with the high end items.

My single HT Stormtrooper arrived some time ago. Though I had my own problems with my figure: belt was half unglued, the magnets on the leather holster were both unglued and jumping in the box. I glued everything back much better than how it originally was. One cap of the thermal detonator fell off too, so I glued it and reglued the other one too just to be sure. The HT thermal detonator metal clips are crap - SSC ones are solid steel, much better, the HT clips barely hold on the back of the belt. The SSC E-11 blaster is still unbeaten till today, this is copied after it, but needs improvement, and not in making holes in the barrel. The ankle joints are sometimes visible. All this was not too encouraging to be honest. The figure is great, but QC is just like the thermal detonator clips.




My HT pair of Stormies joined my single HT Stormtrooper too. They are in perfect shape! Some shots of the pair and some outdoor shots of the tall one with the rifle:
