Looks like I was wrong about assumingDarth Vader and Obi - Wanwould be the next we figure of Hot Toy ’s neophyte Star Wars railway line – another Stormtrooper , but also the first figure from the now - defunct inflate Universe from the toymakers renowned for their crazy detail .
hide out your Wallet : spicy Toys ’ next Star Wars figures are Vader and Obi - Wan
The Shadow Trooper never come along in the Star Wars movies – it ’s an idea that first appeared in comic and video games , but retrieve real leverage in Star Wars marketing efforts because it ’s basically the ultimate equivalent of ‘ But she ’s got a fresh hat ! ‘ , take to plenty of variant Stormtroopers over the eld . But it ’s especially interesting to see one hail now that there ’s very piffling emphasis being placed on what come of the Expanded Universe in recent Star Wars toy .
That does n’t stop this Shadow Trooper from being a beauty as itswhite - armor precursor was . Like the normal Stormtrooper , the Shadow Trooper comes with standard E-11 Blaster Rifle ( no Blaster pistol though ) and alternate men for the figure to hold the weapon system . The only material difference is the all - black coloring schema and a unexampled Pauldron .
Even that nonaged difference of opinion is enough to sound off in my fanatic adoration of all things Stormtrooper , so of track I want one . Alas , at the instant the Shadow Trooper is a Hot Toys Exclusive that presently will only be available for preorder atToySoul 2014 in Hong Kong after this month for a release in Q1 of 2015 . At least there ’s plenty of pretty pictures to gawp at in the meantime .
