Affiliate Link – Star Wars Utapau Shadow Trooper
Sideshow Collectibles’ 12-inch scale Star Wars Utapau Shadow Trooper* is a limited edition release available only in the U.S. And at a run of 1,500 pieces and only $90 (really, that’s not bad at all for a 12-inch scale action figure) this one’s not likely to last long. The only problem that I can see with the toy is that the photo with three of them automatically has me thinking: “Wouldn’t three of these in a custom display look amazing?” I blame the custom display post at The Fwoosh (mentioned here) and Geek Box (website) for these thoughts.
The brainchild of Armand Isard, Director of Republic Intelligence and Director-General of the Senate Bureau of Intelligence, the shadow trooper division was created mainly as a reconnaissance tool. Designed to augment the dwindling number of ARC troopers, shadow troopers operate singly or in pairs. They operate covertly, yet still in armor, posing as mercenaries of bounty hunters to slip quietly in and out of locations while quietly gathering intelligence.
