Star Wars has a long history of merchandising everything , right down to the characters you see in the movies for mere moments . Who does n’t remember bomber likeToryn Farr , Willrow HoodorYak Face(apologies , Saelt - Marae ) ? Now even characters realise for literal seconds are generate the Hot Toys intervention .
I ’ll forgive you if at first you baulk at the Spacetrooper being from the movies rather than an old expand Universe conception , but no . Several of them look in A New Hope , standing on the outside of the Death Star docking embayment the Millennium Falcon is tractor beamed into :
See those wee niggling lad , on screen for the cinematic equivalent weight of the blink of an optic ? Not even they can escape the magnate of the Force Merchandising . live Toys have lease the chance of the coming Star Wars Celebration to deal the Spacetrooper as a fancy convention single for lover attending .
of course intemperately base on Hot Toy’salready fabulous Stormtrooper figure , the Spacetrooper ’s bonus addition is chiefly their coolheaded little space backpack , presumptively occupy with Oxygen so they do n’t quick crop up their clogs in the vacancy of space ( although give way how promptly Han and Luke remove their Stormtrooper helmet during the movie , is that armour really seal against vacuum ? ) . They also get a rad looking blaster rifle that has not one , but two scopes attached , and perhaps my favorite fillip :
A special pointing finger’s breadth .
An undivided pointing finger , so you could pose the wee fella doing the only thing we ever see him do on picture show . They did it . They did the thing , everyone . Pack your bags , go home , etc . This is the most ridiculous , wonderful commitment to a short - lived ground character in Toy chronicle .
The Spacetrooper is exclusive to Star Wars Celebration for now — if you ’re attend to , it ’ll presumably set you back the same price as the Stormtrooper does , around $ 200 . Hot Toys imply they ’ll open up it up for preorders at a later appointment , so maybe do n’t go hunt down price - up variant on eBay if you ’re not go .
