The 2019 Star Wars The Black Series C1‑10P “Chopper” (#84) brings the chaotic, cantankerous heart of the Ghost crew into the 6‑inch line with one of the most feature‑rich astromech sculpts Hasbro has produced. Chopper’s design — asymmetrical legs, mismatched panels, exposed wiring, and a dome that looks like it’s survived a dozen lifetimes — is captured with remarkable accuracy.
Released as part of Wave 24, this figure arrived during the late Red Line era and immediately became a standout for Rebels collectors. The sculpt includes Chopper’s swap‑out rocket booster leg, allowing for his signature vertical‑takeoff mode, as well as a utility arm and restraining bolt for mission‑specific display options.
The weathering is heavy and screen‑accurate, reflecting Chopper’s long service life and his habit of smashing into bulkheads, enemies, and occasionally his own teammates. The proportions match the animated model while translating cleanly into the more realistic Black Series aesthetic.
Technical Details & Sculpt
Overall Sculpt & Proportions
Chopper’s sculpt is dense, asymmetrical, and screen‑accurate:

- articulated third leg for mobility
The proportions match the Rebels animation model adapted into realistic styling.
Dome & Head Assembly

The dome’s weathering is a highlight of the figure.
Body & Limbs

The articulation supports standard movement, booster mode, and expressive “angry Chopper” poses.
Paint & Deco
The paintwork emphasizes heavy wear and personality:
- matte orange dome with chipped paint
- grey and white body panels
- metallic accents on wiring and vents
