First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) — Star Wars The Black Series

Overview

The First Order Jet Trooper at the Carbonized sub-line captures the specialized rocket-pack-equipped Stormtrooper variant introduced in The Rise of Skywalker — the elite First Order soldiers who soar into battle with agile rocket packs as part of the Imperial-remnant military escalation in the canonical sequel-trilogy finale. Released on Triple Force Friday (October 4, 2019) single-boxed exclusively at Walmart stores. Walmart exclusive at $24.99 — same pricing as the standard Carbonized sub-line baseline. 19 joints. One accessory: a blaster.

The Single-Accessory Loadout

The figure came with a blaster which fits well into both of the figure’s hands. The index finger on the right hand can be placed on the trigger of the weapon. Standard trigger-finger right-hand grip engineering supports screen-accurate combat-pose configurations. For an entry-level Carbonized sub-line release, the single-accessory loadout is structurally lean — most other Carbonized releases ship with at least two accessories (the contemporary Sith Trooper Carbonized at #P4-CARB-04 ships with one accessory but adds the functional thigh-plug peg engineering).

A specific accessory engineering critique worth flagging: the right thigh has a hole in the armour where a weapon can be plugged in, but the included blaster doesn’t have a peg and can’t be attached. This is structurally a meaningful design oversight — the body sculpt provides the thigh-mounted weapon-stowage feature that supports canonical at-rest stowed-blaster display, but the included accessory doesn’t have the peg geometry to use the feature. For collectors who want the thigh-stowed weapon display configuration, the included blaster is functionally incompatible with the included thigh hole.

This is a structural contrast with the Sith Trooper Carbonized at #P4-CARB-04 — the Sith Trooper’s blaster does have a thigh-mount peg and successfully uses the equivalent thigh-mount feature. The same Triple Force Friday Carbonized launch wave shipped one figure with the working thigh-mount (Sith Trooper) and one without (Jet Trooper) despite both supporting the body-sculpt feature. This suggests the thigh-mount engineering is fundamentally working but Hasbro inconsistently applied the matching peg-geometry to accessories across the wave.

The Permanent Equipment Approach

The Jet Trooper helmet is not removable, and there is no head underneath the helmet. Standard First Order Stormtrooper-class design — single helmeted configuration without unmasked-reveal capability. There are no removable parts on the armour. The jetpack on the back is permanently attached. Standard Carbonized sub-line entry-level configuration — the Jet Trooper ships in canonical fully-equipped configuration without supporting kitbashing modifications for any equipment piece.

For collectors who want costume modification flexibility, the integrated approach is restrictive across all equipment components. For collectors who want the canonical Jet Trooper display, the integrated equipment captures the source material correctly without requiring component management. This is structurally consistent with the Stormtrooper-class design philosophy across the broader Black Series catalogue — armoured-trooper figures typically ship in fully-equipped configurations rather than supporting alternative-configuration kitbashing.

The Jetpack Engineering

The jetpack looks cool with boosters on the bottom and a big vent on the top. The permanently-attached jetpack captures the canonical Jet Trooper rocket-pack visual reading — boosters on the underside support the canonical thrust-deployed flight-mode display, and the large vent on top captures the screen-accurate equipment configuration.

For collectors building dynamic flight-pose display configurations, the permanent jetpack supports the canonical screen-accurate thrust-deployed reading without requiring accessory attachment. The figure can be displayed in canonical mid-flight or landing-deployment poses depending on the appropriate joint articulation positioning.

The Pristine Paint Application

The figure is kept in a pristine and shiny/carbonized look with no wash or battle damage on it. Specific paint commitment note worth flagging — unlike most contemporary Black Series Stormtrooper-class figures that ship with appropriate combat-environment weathering and battle damage, the Carbonized Jet Trooper deliberately ships with completely clean paint application supporting the carbonized-aesthetic-display-piece positioning rather than screen-accuracy commitment.

For collectors who want screen-accurate Stormtrooper-environmental commitment (battle wear, dirt accumulation, weapons-fire damage), the pristine clean configuration is structurally restrictive. For collectors who want the carbonized aesthetic visual reading, the pristine configuration delivers the appropriate sub-line positioning correctly. This is consistent with the broader Carbonized sub-line philosophy — the Carbonized sub-line is deliberately non-screen-accurate aesthetic flavour rather than canonical-character-class commitment.

Articulation

19 joints. Ball-jointed top neck, ball-jointed lower neck, ball-jointed shoulders, ball-jointed elbows, ball-jointed wrists, ball-jointed upper body, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, swivel joints above the knees, swivel joints below the knees, ball-jointed ankles. Above the 17-joint Phase 4 baseline thanks to the dual-axis knee articulation. Standard mid-tier articulation count appropriate to the Stormtrooper-class character without the higher-end butterfly-shoulder or rocker-ankle configurations that distinguish the contemporary Phase 4 ROTJ Stormtrooper at #P4-40A-ST6.

The Jet Trooper stands well on display without falling over — appropriate Phase 4-era standing-stability engineering across multiple display-pose configurations including the canonical at-rest standing and active-flight-pose configurations.

Distribution and the Triple Force Friday Lineup

Walmart exclusive at $24.99, Triple Force Friday (October 4, 2019) single-boxed launch. The Walmart distribution placed the figure within wider general-retail accessibility compared to more-restrictive-channel exclusive releases (the contemporary Stormtrooper Carbonized at #P4-CARB-07 ships through Fan Channel exclusive distribution) but still kept it within single-retailer-channel limitations. Aftermarket pricing on the secondary market has remained moderate compared to the more-sought-after Carbonized releases (the Mandalorian Carbonized at #P4-CARB-02 commands meaningfully higher aftermarket pricing).

For collectors building the Carbonized sub-line specifically, this Jet Trooper is the entry-level Walmart-channel acquisition that complements the contemporary Triple Force Friday Carbonized launches across other retail channels — Mandalorian (Target), Second Sister Inquisitor (GameStop), and Sith Trooper (Amazon). The four-figure Triple Force Friday Carbonized launch wave covered four distinct exclusive retailer channels, structurally requiring collectors to engage with four separate distribution paths to complete the sub-collection.

For collectors building Sequel Trilogy First Order army-builder display configurations specifically, the Jet Trooper Carbonized is the alternative aesthetic positioning to the standard 2019 Jet Trooper at id=23607. Multiple copies for army-builder Jet Trooper deployment configurations would benefit collectors building proper-scale First Order rocket-pack squad displays, though the carbonized aesthetic departure from screen-accurate paint may not match the broader First Order display preferences of all collectors.

Other First Order Jet Trooper Figures

The First Order Jet Trooper has been a recurring Sequel Trilogy character-class release subject. Other notable releases include the Galaxy Of Adventures Jet Trooper Quick Draw Blaster release (figure id=22597), the standard Black Series Jet Trooper from 2019 (figure id=23607), and the Black Series Battlefront II video-game-source Jet Trooper variant (figure id=28156). The Carbonized release joins this character-class catalogue as the Triple Force Friday Walmart-exclusive special-paint-finish entry.

Secondary Market

Walmart-exclusive single-boxed release with Triple Force Friday packaging, October 2019. Available through Walmart original retail and the secondary market with moderate aftermarket pricing reflecting the broader-than-most-Carbonized retail availability. Verify the included blaster is present. Single-accessory loadout means the blaster is the only loose component during transit, simplifying acquisition verification compared to multi-accessory Carbonized releases.

Verdict

The First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) at the 2019 Triple Force Friday Walmart exclusive launch is an entry-level Carbonized sub-line release — the trigger-finger right-hand blaster grip engineering supports screen-accurate combat-pose display, the cool jetpack sculpt with boosters and vent captures the canonical Sequel Trilogy character configuration, the pristine carbonized paint application delivers the appropriate sub-line aesthetic positioning, the 19-joint articulation supports standard display-pose flexibility, and the figure stands reliably across multiple combat configurations.

The single-accessory loadout sits at the lean end of the Carbonized sub-line distribution. The blaster-without-thigh-peg incompatibility with the body-sculpt’s thigh-mount feature is the figure’s most defensible structural negative — Hasbro included the body feature but not the matching accessory peg geometry needed to use it. The non-removable helmet, jetpack, and armour limit costume modification flexibility entirely. The pristine clean paint without battle damage is consistent with Carbonized sub-line philosophy but doesn’t deliver canonical Stormtrooper-class screen accuracy.

Buy this figure if you collect the Carbonized sub-line as a complete set (essential acquisition for sub-line completionists), if you appreciate the Triple Force Friday launch context as part of your collecting interest, if you build First Order army-builder display configurations and want the alternative carbonized aesthetic positioning, or if the Walmart-exclusive distribution path is structurally easier for your acquisition workflow than the contemporary GameStop, Target, or Amazon-channel Triple Force Friday Carbonized launches. Skip if you want the canonical screen-accurate weathered Jet Trooper configuration (the standard 2019 release at id=23607 covers the same character class with appropriate paint commitment) or if the missing thigh-mount peg compatibility meaningfully affects your at-rest stowed-blaster display preferences.

The First Order rocket-pack soldier with the carbonized pristine paint and permanent jetpack engineering. The figure with the trigger-finger right-hand blaster grip and the cool boosters-and-vent jetpack sculpt. The Jet Trooper that anchors Walmart-channel Triple Force Friday Carbonized acquisitions alongside the broader four-channel launch wave. Walmart exclusive distribution, October 4, 2019.
