This piece is the latest in my collection. Standing a whopping 14'' tall, this Sergeant ranking Sandtrooper takes the cake.
Sandtroopers or Desert Troopers are specially trained divisions of Imperial Stormtroopers equipped with modified armor and equipment to withstand the harsh climates of desert planets like Tatooine. Though their armor is similar to that of a regular Stormtrooper, their suits contain advanced cooling systems, which offers better protection from the relentless heat than standard Stormtrooper armor. Their helmets contain lenses that automatically polarize to protect the trooper's eyes, as well as breathing filters.
The artists and sculpturers at Kotobukiya ARTFX have done a great job on this piece.....great battle weathered effect has been applied to this figure giving its armor a dirty and worn out look . The Sergeant's equipment and weaponry are also nicely detailed, especially the gun barrel.
A must have for all Star Wars fans!
