#range trooper

While I might like clones more than stormtroopers I do love some of the designs!

5:

The range trooper! I wish we could’ve seen these guys kore in solo because I love the design! I love the bulkiness of it with the thick clothes and fur. The boots are also a very cool concept that we’ve never seen before!

The shadow stormtroopers! I love the reflective-ness of the armor as well as the silver accents on the the teeth on the helmet. The pauldron is also a nice touch to add to a elite stealth trooper!

The mimban stormtroopers! These guys are also from solo and looked amazing! I love the capes, ammo packs, the and backpacks you see on different troopers in the movie. The weathering is amazing and the modified helmet gives it a nice WW1 touch! Very gritty and real!

Probably not expected to be this high up but I absolutely love the hovertank troopers design! Rouge one had so many amazing trooper variants but what sold this trooper design for me was the helmet. I love it’s triangular shape and the whole design is amazing.

Number one goes to yet another solo trooper! The mud trooper! I adore this design and it’s steampunk esque gas mask and googles. Like the mimban stormtrooper I love the ammo packs and capes as well as the dirtied up clothes below the armor. This armor really feels gritty and warlike and i love it. The whole story behind the mud troopers is amazing as well

Honorable mention goes to the Jeddah patrol trooper!

This guy didn’t make the cut because he’s basically just a new sand trooper. That doesn’t mean I don’t like the design though! I love the new rouge one stormtrooper armor and the added backpack and pauldron really make this guy stand out

Why’d I join? The money. Well, obviously it was to...push myself and see if I could do it, but it was mostly the money. There isn’t much to do when you’re out and stationed around the galaxy. Yeah the assignments...aren’t...the best, but once I’m out I can head back to my homeworld and be set for life. I might even have enough that I can put to use to make me a little more, we’ll see.

Imperial Range Trooper

From ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story’ we were introduced to a new type of Imperial Stormtrooper known as the Range Trooper.

He’s pretty much supposed to be a long-term advanced recon trooper, or something…

He’s dressed in heavy armor, and padded clothing meant for the cold.

The helmet looks as if it’s from the Clone Wars era. The armor I think is something akin to snowtrooper armor, and he’s wearing a white overcoat, heavy gloves, real (synthetic) fur around the collar, and heavy, HEAVY looking mechanical boots.

I really like this figure. You can tell this guy is not just a run of the mill stormtrooper in fancy new duds. This is dressed for a long campaign in the snowy tundra, he’s meant for survival.

And his range of motion is befitting for someone wearing an outfit like this; the figure has some decent articulation, however it’s limited and within reason of someone wearing this bulky coat and armor.

I have to say, I want at least two more of these guys, and I might eventually, but these guys are $20.00 a pop.
