The 2021 Artillery Stormtrooper is one of the most visually distinct Imperial variants introduced in The Mandalorian Season 2. Appearing during the Tython sequence in Chapter 14, this trooper represents a specialized mortar unit within the Imperial Remnant — a rare glimpse into the tactical diversity of post‑Endor Imperial forces. Hasbro’s figure captures that battlefield role with a striking yellow‑striped armor pattern and a full mortar deployment kit.
The sculpt is built on the modern 2020 Stormtrooper body, which remains the definitive Imperial base mold. The improved proportions, sharper helmet geometry, and enhanced articulation give the figure a dynamic, screen‑accurate presence. The armor is clean and glossy, providing a strong contrast to the bold yellow markings that identify the trooper’s artillery specialization.
The yellow deco is the defining visual element. The shoulder pauldron, chest stripe, helmet band, and shin markings are crisp and vibrant, instantly distinguishing the figure from standard Stormtroopers. The paint applications are clean, with sharp separation between the white armor, black undersuit, and yellow accents. The result is a trooper that stands out in any Imperial display while still feeling grounded in the Star Wars aesthetic.
The accessory loadout is excellent and character‑defining. The mortar launcher is a new sculpt with industrial detailing, textured grips, and a functional silhouette that matches the on‑screen prop. The mortar shell is small but sharply sculpted, fitting naturally into loading or firing poses. The backpack completes the kit, featuring molded storage compartments and attachment points that reflect the trooper’s battlefield role.
As a standard retail release, the Artillery Stormtrooper became one of the most desirable Imperial variants of 2021 and remains essential for any Mando‑era or Imperial Remnant display.
