The specialized coastal defense personnel of the Galactic Empire, the Scarif Stormtrooper (often referred to as the Shoretrooper), joined The Vintage Collection in 2019 as part of Wave 20. This figure represents the rank-and-file soldiers stationed at the top-secret Imperial security complex on Scarif as seen in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Their unique sand-colored armor and tropical-theater gear made them an instant favorite for fans of the film's climactic battle.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Sculpt: This figure utilizes a dedicated Shoretrooper sculpt that captures the specialized lightweight armor designed for beach and bunker combat. The helmet features a distinct flat-fronted "beak" and reinforced crown, while the chest plate includes the unique ridged texture seen on the screen-used suits.
- Deco & Weathering: The figure is finished in a tan-and-cream palette. As a "grunt" variant, it lacks the blue or yellow rank markings found on Squad Leaders or Captains. The paint deco includes a heavy sand-weathering effect, particularly on the boots and lower greaves, simulating the gritty environment of the Scarif beaches.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed wrists and rocker ankles. The hip joints are specifically designed to allow the figure to achieve deep, stable firing stances in the "sand," making it one of the most poseable armored figures in the 2019 waves.
- Display Utility: As a specialized unit, VC133 is the ultimate "squad builder" for tropical dioramas. He is best displayed in multiples alongside an Imperial Assault Tank Commander (VC148) or defending the Master Switch on the beach against Rebel infiltrators.
Accessories & Equipment
The Scarif Stormtrooper comes equipped with the E-22 double-barrel blaster rifle, the signature long-range weapon of the coastal forces. The blaster is molded in a dark charcoal plastic with metallic silver highlights. The figure also features a non-removable thermal detonator integrated into the back of the utility belt, completing the tactical loadout.
