Star Wars – The Saga Collection – Basic Figure – Snowtrooper The snow troopers escort Darth Vader as they storm into Echo Base. Once inside, they find that most of the Rebels have already fled. Only the Millennium Falcon remains, hampered by persistent electrical problems. As the snow troopers mount their heavy repeating blasters, Han Solo quickly deploys a secret blaster on the Falcon’s underside to keep the attackers at bay. Snow Trooper figure measures 3.75″ tall.
Customer Review: A decent effort
A decent sculpt, but he’s still just a retread of the figure with the cannon. Can stand, but not well. I know there are a lot of Hoth junkies out there, but this figure, while not bad, could have been better.
Customer Review: A Warrior for the Winter Season
The Snowtroopers were one of the coolest characters (pun intended) in the Star Wars saga. Their appearance was brief, but still cool. These guys basically are Stormtroopers in winter apparel, and their purpose was to aid Darth Vader on Hoth.
The toy is detailed nicely, coming with both a blaster/guy and a backpack. The figure itself also has some color variation. This of course is due to the snow and extreme temperatures, what else could it be from? This figure is for both collectors and those who want to send this guy right into battle. It is nice to see that Hasbro is reissued many of the old Star Wars figures. The Dark Side has never been chillier!
