Wompet Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 There's also a 3" figure, another Galaxy's Edge exclusive, that hasn't ben pictured here yet: If it's as well-made as the similarly sized Treadspeeder Trooper figure, then it's as detailed as the 6" Black Series figure. But yeah, costumed cast members would be the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was trying to find online to buy but cant find anywhere on Disney store; would be willing to pay someone that is going to parks soon for a set maybe 2 I have a friend locally that would probably want one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'd be sold at Disney World also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarifBeachBum Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I found this concept art for Galaxy's Edge that uses the Mountain Trooper. It came from this site here: https://milnersblog.com/tag/mountain-trooper-episode-ix/ Perhaps that can be used as another source. Any word on when / if the Mountain Troopers will be coming to Galaxy's Edge? I've been to both Batuu West (July '19) and Batuu East (Jan. '20) now and sadly both times there weren't very many characters at all roaming around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb props and jsin were going to make the suits for the parks but I think something fell through because it never happened.

Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Looking at it more closely (and the Mountain Trooper in the background which appears to be just the same one with its image flipped), I see that now. That's too bad about it falling through. I wonder if we'll ever see them in the parks. Would be a shame if we didn't. I really like the idea of a park exclusive trooper and then having the 501st being able to bring a little bit of Batuu to some events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'm not giving up on the Mountain Trooper just yet. If it doesn't show up in a reasonable amount of time in the park we're going to see what we can do with the sources we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPoopie Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I wouldn't be surprised if this got delayed and will come out in the parks later this year when they need to drum up visitors. With the ride delays and this causing them to be very over budget it probably got shelved for now until they need some new things to bring in business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartstopper85 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I'm pressing with my build just figured out shin straps todayWe have plenty of troops local I can wear non legion approved costumes so that's good enough for me.As long I look like a real life action figure I'm happySent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I’m heading to Orlando today, will probably bug vendors to see if they know anything about the mountain trooper. I’m in no rush still working on my fotk right now but after that I’d really like to do the mountain trooper if we can get more info.

If you can get anything to add to our sources that would be incredible. The more sources we can get, the better the case we can make to the LMOs.

Wompet Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 So I still haven't made it to Galaxy's Edge, but that figure set that I mentioned above can be found on eBay. So this arrived today: Apologies for the lighting - I'll take some pictures in natural light as soon as I can. But for now: So, the forearms are different from the Black Series figure, but match the box art, the flaps on the pouches are different, and the color is ... well, it's not white or Sierra Beige ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Ok so I just got back from Orlando, and I did allot of digging about mountain trooper. I probably asked 60 or so cast members about it. 2 people told me the same thing that is either the truth or something on the internet I haven’t seen.Apparently the Mountain trooper along with the tie echelon, that is in the first order camp is all from the never made Colin Trevorrow Star Wars episode 9. Apparently the Disney imagineers worked with him on design elements for the park this is why the shuttle the Kylo Ren shows up on in the park has also never been seen before. There is no future plans currently for Disney parks to make a mountain trooper.I was told this by 2 different cast members on different days (I went 2 days to Galaxy’s edge)I vaguely remember Doug Chang talking about working with Disney on designing the park, on either something from Disney plus, or maybe from celebration. The timeline of the park being developed also makes sense to me.If anyone gets anymore info, I’d love to know more. I love the design of this trooper. It feels like a perfect evolution to the biker scout design.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartstopper85 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 That makes sense I'm in Orlando too for weekend. I think I'm gonna press with my idea to just do for fun.Got to ride rotr on Saturday We have some non lfl events I got ok to wear at as well. Just wont count for census etc.Would not suggest this costume to anyone looking to join legion. But it really does turn heads. Hopefully once I get my straps from jsin I can finish up soon. Maybe by my birthday in march.Just need to weather than finish hip armor belt and shins. Everything else is rigged and fittedSent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 I'm headed to Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland in two weeks, I'll let you know what I can "scout" out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hey Mountain Trooper fans Disney had a big roll out of Batuu-themed merch this past week. We should keep an eye out for anymore MT references. Besides the solo release of the Black Series MT at stores, there is a new Batuu download for Sims 4, and this guide: https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Galaxys-Edge-Travelers/dp/0760366748/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=galaxys+edge&qid=1599086976&sr=8-3 If anybody comes across any new Mountain Trooper sources we haven't seen yet, please let us know! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read several reviews and they noted specifically that the Mountain Trooper is not mentioned anywhere in the book. Hopefully some other information will come with new merch though. Can anyone confirm this about the book? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
