Hot Toys has revealed its newest figurine dedicated to the iconic Stormtrooper from the Star Wars series. The Hong Kong-based collectible company is known for revisiting old classics in cinema, in addition to designing sci-fi figurines for fans of these franchises. The Stormtrooper figure stands at 12 inches tall and is a 1:6th scale, boasting a silver chrome finish instead of the traditional white armor fans of the series are used to.
In addition, consumers can customize their Stormtrooper using a range of accessories that come with the figure. These accessories include a blaster rifle, a blaster pistol, hand gestures, and a thermal hexagonal base.
Consumers can stay on the lookout for news on pricing, but the release date for Hot Toys’ chrome Stormtrooper is set for late 2022.
