The 2020 Star Wars The Black Series Rebel Trooper (Hoth) is 03 in the Empire Strikes Back window‑box sub‑series — a short, clearly defined run of ESB‑branded Phase III/IV boxes. These figures are not part of the 40th Anniversary cardback line and not Galaxy Collection. They represent a unique 2020 ESB‑branded window‑box assortment.

This release captures the Hoth Echo Base defenders with layered cold‑weather gear, a modular faceplate system, and a full loadout of survival equipment.
