The backbone of the First Order’s military might, the First Order Stormtrooper, marched into The Vintage Collection in 2018 as part of Wave 17. Representing the sleek, updated evolution of the classic Imperial Stormtrooper seen in the Sequel Trilogy, this figure was a cornerstone of the TVC relaunch. It offered a significant upgrade in articulation and paint apps over the basic 5-point-of-articulation versions, finally giving 3.75-inch collectors a "super-articulated" grunt for their Starkiller Base displays.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Silhouette: The sculpt accurately captures the "Beta" armor design, characterized by smoother curves and a more unified helmet visor compared to the original trilogy troopers. The helmet features the signature "frown" and integrated ventilation breathers, all rendered with sharp, clean lines.
• Deco & Finish: The figure is finished in a high-gloss white plastic to mimic the polished plastoid armor seen on screen. The black gaskets and undersuit are painted with a matte finish to provide a realistic contrast. The 2018 release is known for its exceptionally clean applications on the thin black lines of the helmet and belt.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed wrists and rocker ankles. The shoulder pauldrons are designed to tuck slightly under the chest plate, allowing for a better range of motion when posing the trooper with a two-handed rifle grip.
• Display Utility: As the ultimate "squad builder," VC118 is designed to be displayed in massive ranks. He is best paired with Captain Phasma (VC142) or Supreme Leader Snoke (VC121) to recreate the imposing military parades of the First Order.

Accessories & Equipment

The First Order Stormtrooper comes battle-ready with the standard F-11D blaster rifle. The weapon is molded in black plastic with white-painted accents to match the film's prop. A key feature of this release is the integrated peg on the right thigh, which allows the blaster to be "holstered" directly onto the leg armor, a detail that mirrors the magnetic holster system seen in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
