Minibust: Deluxe Sandtrooper Squad Commander

Manufacturer: Gentle Giant Studios Release Date: 18 Apr 2005 Property: Episode IV MSRP: 49.99 USD Country: United States

Description: The newest mini bust from Gentle Giant is the limited edition Deluxe Sandtrooper Squad Commander mini bust. Rank is denoted by the trademark orange shoulder pauldron. The Squad Leader comes with a T-21 light repeating blaster and stands 6 inches tall (7.5 inches with the gun). The mini bust comes with interchangeable arms and a small blaster gun for those who like to experiment with differing poses. Limited edition size is yet to be determined. (Subject to change) The sandtrooper is a desert terrain stormtrooper equipped with modified armor and gear to better withstand missions in harsh, arid locales like Tatooine. While their armor is superficially similar to that of the standard stormtrooper, advanced cooling systems in both their helmets and suits offer these troopers protection from the relentless heat. The stormtrooper detachment dispatched by Lord Darth Vader to investigate a crashed escape pod on Tatooine just prior to the Battle of Yavin consisted of sandtroopers. They had heavy weapons, survival gear, and shoulder pauldrons denoting rank.
