Weathered vs Standard: Two Stormtrooper Options
The Mandalorian Collection’s two 2020 Stormtrooper figures tell different stories through their armour condition. The standard Stormtrooper at #MAN 02 ($19.99, standard retail) is the cleanly-armoured unit — the standard reference configuration. The Remnant Stormtrooper at #MAN 09 ($19.99, Target exclusive) is the field-worn variant — the armour of troops who have been operating on frontier planets without full Imperial supply chain support.
For army building: the standard version for the cleanly-deployed formation, the remnant version for the frontier-operation display. Both at the same $19.99 price point, both with the 18-joint scheme. The choice is which story you want the display to tell.
The Remnant’s Resource Reality
The Empire’s collapse created remnant factions that maintained military capability but lost the infrastructure that kept armour in pristine condition. The Remnant Stormtrooper’s weathered paint application communicates this reality — the troops who are still showing up in standard-issue armour but lack the support systems to keep it field-fresh. It is the visual difference between the Empire as it was and the Empire as it is.
Target Exclusive at $19.99
The Target exclusive tier at $19.99 matches the standard Stormtrooper’s price exactly, making the Remnant Stormtrooper one of the most value-equivalent army builder exclusives in Phase 4. Target exclusivity is generally manageable to source — the largest US retailer with significant online availability.
Army Building the Remnant
Multiple Remnant Stormtroopers alongside multiple standard Stormtroopers (#MAN 02) create the mixed-condition formation that most accurately represents the Mandalorian-era Imperial remnant — some troops with maintained armour, some with the wear of extended frontier deployment. The 18-joint scheme on both versions ensures consistent display articulation across a mixed formation.
Secondary Market
Modest to above-retail secondary market prices. Target exclusive 2020. Verify blaster rifle. No production variants documented.
Our Verdict
The Remnant Stormtrooper at #MAN 09 is the Mandalorian Collection’s second Stormtrooper option — the weathered frontier variant at Target exclusive pricing, the army builder that communicates the remnant’s specific condition. $19.99. Buy both Stormtrooper versions and build the complete formation.
Two Stormtroopers, Two Stories
The Mandalorian Collection having two 2020 Stormtrooper figures at identical prices is an unusual production decision — normally second entries of the same trooper type serve as repaints or reissues. The Remnant Stormtrooper is genuinely distinct: the weathered paint application creates a different display character, the Target exclusive sourcing makes it a separate purchase decision, and the specific narrative of the worn armour communicates the remnant’s condition in a way the standard version doesn’t.
For the complete Mandalorian-era Imperial formation: both versions, displayed together, the clean armour and the field-worn armour communicating the range of the remnant’s operational state. The standard Stormtrooper is the ordered formation. The Remnant Stormtrooper is the frontier patrol. Both are the same troops under Moff Gideon’s command. Buy both.
The Remnant Formation’s Complete Picture
The Mandalorian Collection’s troop figures — standard Stormtrooper (#MAN 02), Incinerator Trooper (#MAN 03), Remnant Stormtrooper (#MAN 09) — cover three distinct unit types and two armour condition states. The complete formation display has clean-armoured standard troops, the red-accented Incinerator specialist, and the weathered remnant troopers who have been in the field longest. That formation tells the story of Moff Gideon’s operation before a single character figure is in sight.
The Remnant Stormtrooper. Weathered armour. Blaster rifle. Target exclusive at $19.99 — the same price as the standard version, different story. The frontier-deployed trooper whose worn armour communicates the remnant’s resource reality. Buy both Stormtrooper versions. Build the formation that represents the full range of Moff Gideon’s forces.
The Remnant Stormtrooper at $19.99 Target exclusive makes the Mandalorian Collection’s army building tier the most affordable in Phase 4. Three standard Stormtroopers plus two Remnant Stormtroopers is $99.95 for five troopers in two armour conditions. That five-trooper formation is the visual context for every protagonist and antagonist in the Mandalorian Collection’s opening wave. Buy both versions. Build the formation.
Buy both Stormtroopers. The standard at #MAN 02 and the Remnant at #MAN 09. The clean armour and the weathered armour. The formation deployed and the formation in the field. Two $19.99 figures that together tell the complete story of Moff Gideon’s forces more accurately than either does alone.
The Remnant Stormtrooper at Target exclusive pricing delivers the Mandalorian Collection’s most narratively specific army builder. The worn armour is not an aesthetic choice — it is a production decision that communicates the remnant’s operational state. The frontier force running on diminished supply lines. The standard Stormtrooper shows what Moff Gideon’s forces were. The Remnant Stormtrooper shows what they are now. Buy both.
The weathered armour, the blaster rifle, the Target exclusive at $19.99. The Remnant Stormtrooper makes the formation complete. Buy it alongside the standard version. The collection needs both conditions of the remnant’s forces.
The Remnant Stormtrooper at #MAN 09 is the Mandalorian Collection’s army builder thesis statement: the same unit type at the same price point communicating a different moment in the Empire’s history. Clean armour communicates power. Weathered armour communicates persistence. Buy both. The remnant army is not all the same age.
The weathered trooper on the frontier. Buy the Remnant Stormtrooper alongside the standard.
Worn armour, blaster rifle, Target exclusive at $19.99. The Remnant Stormtrooper is the army builder that communicates the difference between the Empire and what came after it. Buy it. Buy multiples. The formation needs both the maintained and the worn to tell the complete remnant story.
