Overview
The First Order Stormtrooper Executioner is a Target exclusive released September 1st, 2017, at $19.99 — a repaint and helmet retool of the standard First Order Stormtrooper (id=3462) representing the troopers who dispense final justice to traitors within the First Order’s ranks, as seen in The Last Jedi. 19 joints — ball-jointed dual-axis neck, ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, wrists, upper body, hips, swivel thighs, swivel joints above and below knees, ball-jointed ankles.
The Helmet and Armour Changes
Three helmet differences from standard: a black stripe on the dome, silver highlights on both sides, and a more distinctively painted frown. On the body, the shoulder bells are painted black and carry the First Order symbol, and the pouches on the left side of the belt are painted all black. No blasters are included — the Executioner is a melee/staff weapons specialist.
The Executioner Staff
The staff is the figure’s centrepiece and consists of four parts: the main staff, two removable blue electric force fields that clip onto the claws, and a removable top claw. The bottom claw is permanently attached. Both claws — top and bottom — are articulated and can be opened or closed. When the force fields are attached to the claws the staff reads as in active use.
One honest note: the staff is made from very soft plastic and bends easily, to the point where it can look deformed. Handle with care and store upright.
Secondary Market
Target, September 2017. Accessories to verify: main staff, both electric force fields (identical — confirm two are present), removable top claw. The two force fields are the most easily lost small components.
Verdict
The Executioner is a solid trooper variant at standard pricing — distinct armour markings, an articulated multi-part staff with functioning force fields, and a character with a specific role in the First Order hierarchy. The soft-plastic staff bending tendency is the practical note to manage.
