The 2025 Star Wars The Black Series Galaxy Collection Sandtrooper brings the iconic Tatooine patrol trooper into the GC era with updated deco, improved proportions, and a full loadout of ANH‑accurate gear. This release captures the orange‑pauldron squad leader seen during the “Search for the Droids” sequence in A New Hope.
Positioned within the Galaxy Collection 2025 Trooper Wave, this figure serves as the definitive Sandtrooper for OT world‑building. The sculpt emphasizes the heavy backpack, survival gear, and the weathered armor that defines the Tatooine garrison.
