The backbone of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial Stormtrooper, returned to The Vintage Collection in 2019 as part of Wave 21. While based on the character's appearance in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, this figure serves as the definitive "grunt" for the entire original trilogy era. This release was highly anticipated as it introduced a brand-new, ground-up sculpt that corrected the proportions and articulation issues of previous 3.75-inch iterations.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Build: This figure features an all-new sculpt that is widely considered the best Stormtrooper ever produced in this scale. The "Rogue One" aesthetic means the helmet is slightly more symmetrical and the armor is more streamlined than the 1977 screen-used suits, offering a "perfected" version of the classic silhouette.
• Deco & Finish: The armor is finished in a high-gloss "Stark White" plastic. Unlike some previous "sand-weathered" versions, VC140 is presented in a pristine, factory-clean state. The black undersuit is visible at the neck, elbows, and knees, with crisp black paint for the helmet's vocoder and vent details.
• Articulation: This figure set a new benchmark with premium TVC articulation. It features ball-jointed wrists and the highly coveted rocker ankles. The "ball-and-socket" hip joints allow for a much more natural range of motion, enabling the trooper to kneel or take a wide firing stance without the "v-hip" look of older figures.
• Display Utility: As the ultimate squad-builder, VC140 is designed for multiples. Whether guarding a Star Destroyer corridor or patrolling the streets of Jedha, this is the essential unit for any Imperial display.

Accessories & Equipment

The Stormtrooper comes equipped with the standard E-11 blaster rifle. The weapon is molded in a dark charcoal plastic and features a small peg that allows it to be stored on the functional holster located on the left side of the belt. The holster is made of a flexible material, ensuring it doesn't hinder the movement of the left leg.
