Snowtrooper Version

[Jango Fett]

Hey there,

I think you all know that there exists a special version of the snowtrooper minifigure in the 4504 Millenium Falcon. It's this guy: Snowtrooper

Now I have a question and Bricklink doesn't help me at all... the clone trooper torso, which is part of the minifigure, looks the same as the clone trooper torsos from the well known clone trooper minifigures... but what gray is it? Are those bluish light gray markings on the torso, or is it the same one, as it is included in the old version of the AT-TE and Republic Gunship?

Please help me out.

Hmm... I'd nevernoticed the black hands; will dig mine out and have a look. I can safely say that the grey in the set is 'new' bluish grey.

This set was released around the time the greys changed; however as far as I know, this set was only ever produced with flesh figures, which arrived after the grey change.

4500 Snowspeeder came with new greys and yellow figs. So it's a reasonably safe bet this feller has new grey (bley) hips.

Hope that helps.

Edit - I checked, mine is the 'standard' trooper, white hands, with slightly paler printing (left), so no, can't help.

The 4504 Snowtrooper 'variation' if you want to call it that (it was simply a torso mistake) is done in light bluish grey, just the same as the hips. It is the exact same torso as all those plain episode 3 battlepack clones. With one of them and the current Hoth Imperial pack you could make this figure yourself. What you'd do with the spare parts is beyond me, however.

It is not about the colour of hips or legs or hands or skin or whatever, I just would like to know the colour of the gray that the torso itself is printed with.

As Shadows just said:

He was talking about the printing, since of course the torso itself is white and the hands are black.

@Clone O'Patra: I know he was talking about the printing, if you have a look you might guess that we posted our posts almost in the same second... actually I wanted to reply directly to Rufus =P

OK, is it confirmed then, that the Snowtrooper 'variation' from the 4504 has new light bluish gray markings and there has never been a variation with the torso of a phase one clone from the AT-TE or Gunship set!?

I would be very grateful if someone who ownes this set (including the special Snowtrooper) could confirm all that.

Sure about the fact that there has been new light gray used to do the torso!? I got lots and lots of answers that tell me the torso of that special snowtrooper is done in old light gray.
