HT partner with Sideshow on certain products. Like Star Wars. As far as I know, it's only for the Commanders and troopers. Upcoming product like Bespin Luke Skywalker is fully HT.

Commanders and troopers may involve HT.... but not prominent...

T-1000, T-800, Sarah Connor is by using sideshows license but fully produced by HT.... just like Luke Bespin ...

Hence:

I have no idea what HT did with sideshow on star wars trooper except for having their logo printed....some say its the body but those clone's body is hopeless....

Friend told me armour done by Sideshow, human figure by HT. That's why Bespin Luke is by HT.

I was told its the same...just that sideshow edition do not have the MILK printed on the stand

using SSC's license...

The (prominent SSC logo at bottom right corner):

That's why people are complaining about HT nowadays!

Anyone complaining about the helmet and armour?

To owners of TTM19. Do you see a big seam-line at the right side of the body, as shown by Indy's body(below), if so it another drop in HT's production, or Indy's is an alternate torso.:

just concentrate on DX should be happy already. They haven't transfered that terrible qc issue aura on their DX line yet (apart from batman DX02). If their prices keep going up but their qc and detailing keeps going down apart from their HS then might as well start go into polystone statues or PF statues. Lasts longer and easier to clean if got dust and NO REISSUE

haiya ...why people complain...collecting suppose to be fun and relaxing hobby....if complain then better just stop collecting and spend more time with family...

beastx i don't understand what you mean...is it that they placed an extra layer in between the bicep hole and the end of the forearm joint to maintain movement of the arms? cheap method perhaps?

Not the arrow on the elbow hole.... I use "kui lo"'s pic (his problem can be solved easily: dremel).... The seam on the right side of the body (present on Indy, Whiplash/T-800/BarneyRoss/BL) but not present on Royce/Dastan/Comedian/Wolverine.

I suppose, TTM19 body = Indy's body or = Wolverine's body.....

i ....want...HOT STUFF...seamless...body...

That actually have mold lines (reduced though)... not seams per say....

that's an over usage of the mould of the figure/didn't do a proper maintenance on the mould...either that or they haven't been consistent with the plastic to temperature ratio and cut corners on the timing of injection moulding to up the production process..or i could just be wrong for all of it

wouldnt a little super glue solved that?

Not really, A whole body piece casting (silicon) requires a 2 piece mold... the mold will create "flash"es at the joining of the 2 piece mold.... It's a fact of casting/molding plastic/pvc/silicon.... it could be reduced by using perfect non-defective (microscopic exact smooth) molds.

Added on November 30, 2011, 4:32 pmIf you are referring to the seam on Indy body... (Maybe) HT has changed from a one complete piece (Wolverine) to a partial jointed piece (Indy)... Good to 'not so good'.

Thanks for correcting me Beastx! I forgot about the flash part. Need to revise my knowledge about injection molding again hehehe.
