A quintessential Imperial variant, the Sandtrooper (Dirty Armor) arrived in 2012 as part of Wave 15. Representing the desert-dwelling detachment dispatched to Tatooine in A New Hope, this figure captures the "lived-in" aesthetic that defines the original Star Wars trilogy. While the Sandtrooper had appeared earlier in the line (VC14), this "VC112" iteration focused on a more aggressive weathering application to simulate the harsh, sand-blasted environment of the Dune Sea.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Sculpt: The figure utilizes a high-performance "super-articulated" Stormtrooper base, featuring the unique diamond-patterned knee plate and specialized survival backpack seen on desert-deployed units. The helmet sculpt is crisp, capturing the distinct "frown" and ventilation details of the original ANH props.
• Deco & Weathering: The defining feature of VC112 is the heavy sand-weathering. Unlike the cleaner "VC14" version, this figure features a gritty, brownish-orange wash across the white armor plates, concentrated in the joints and recesses to simulate caked-on Tatooine dust.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation from the 2012 era, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles. The hip joints are engineered to allow the trooper to sit naturally atop a 3.75-inch Dewback.
• Display Utility: This trooper is the essential "grunt" for any Mos Eisley diorama. He is best displayed in a squad searching for the lost droids or standing guard alongside a Patrol Dewback.

Accessories & Equipment

The Sandtrooper comes heavily equipped for long-range desert operations. He includes a removable survival backpack with integrated cooling units and communication gear, a standard E-11 blaster rifle, and a heavy DLT-19 blaster rifle. A key feature is the orange shoulder pauldron, indicating his rank as a squad leader, which is removable to allow for rank customization.
