Thanks for checking these out and the kind words and comments!

These speeders are about 9.5 inches or 24 cm long. The figures are similar in size to 3-3/4" action figure scale, so about 1/18~1/20 scale.

I tried to imagine them as JJ Abrams would have approved, that is, not change them much from what appeared in the original trilogy. I actually designed these before seeing the Hasbro First Order Speeder Bikes on the toy store shelves, if you're wondering why they don't have a "canon" appearance in colors or details.

The bikes are red with white and black accents to evoke a Nazi flag color scheme. Originally, these were set up in a little vignette, with Kid Kylo leading two Stormtroopers (without backpacks). I thought it would be more interesting to introduce a bit of variation, so I made one of the riders a Flametrooper and added a backpack of tanks. I wanted a First Order Stormtrooper with shoulder pauldron and blocky black backpack, because, hey, who doesn't love that stylish Sandtrooper look?

Very cool. Is there a First Order equivalent to the Scout Trooper?

I haven't seen a "canon" or fan-produced First Order Scout Trooper, yet. But it's easy to imagine one!
