YPS Weapon

[SNAGGLE]

Hi all
Just stumbled across this whilst searching for som action force stuff http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Action-Force-Star-Wars-Enemy-Weapon-YPS-Snowtrooper-Gun_W0QQitemZ330369210959QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ToysGames_ActionFigures_ActionFigures_JN?hash=item4ceb8a1a4f Great way to obtain one of these 'rare' weapons to match up with YPS trooper. Also noticed the seller has a few available, check the quantity box 8)
Just a heads up if anyone is trying to track one down.

Yeah thats the gun, the Snowtrooper is slightly different though if you want 100% YPS version

Ah, did'nt realise that Dom. In what way do they differ?

A YPS Snowtrooper has the 'hard' torso variation and the COO is scarred out. I also believe that strangely the figure has a wider stance than a typical 'Trilogo' Snowtrooper (bearing in mind that the YPS figure has been found on Trilogo cardbacks as well as with the comic book from Germany).

I'd also add that IMHO it's the cape that is more difficult to track down than the weapon, as it was also an action force accessory, as it differs significantly due to the round cape holes rather than the standard 'slits'.

Cheers,
Christian

Hi Dom
Mis-read your answer before mate, I knew the YPS Snowtrooper was different, torso, skirt and stance etc, I thought you had written that the YPS gun differed from the Action Force weapon linked above.
All cool, just thought I would shout out if anyone had a weoponless YPS Trooper a quick and genuine fix. No parade intended.

I do remember someone saying that there are at least two types of no COO troopers, one type is specific to YPS whilst the other is a regular tri-version - maybe Gustie?

The capes are the same on both but the scarring is different

I remember this bein mentioned as well Andy. IIRC the YPS trooper has 2 scars whereas a standard Tri trooper has one long scar. I'll have to check mine to verify 100% though.

this scar was supposedly the non-YPS one
