Hot Toys gave us two images of their Sith Trooper figure last July, but now they've released a whole set of promo images for the new type of trooper. It gives us a great look at the armor as well as the different weapons that the trooper comes with.
Hot Toys Sith Trooper
Here's the official description:
Eagerly awaited by Star Wars fans worldwide, the highly anticipated epic blockbuster Star Wars: The Rise of the Skywalker will finally be hitting the silver screen this December! Today Hot Toys is pleased to officially present the new 1/6th scale collectible figure of the Sith Trooper from the upcoming Star Wars release!
The highly-accurate collectible figure is expertly crafted based on the appearance of Sith Trooper from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker featuring brand-new helmet and armor designs, skillfully applied paint applications throughout the armor, newly developed body and under-suit, two styles of blasters, a variety of interchangeable hands, and a character-theme figure stand!
We don't know what the Sith Troopers are officially, but rumor has it that they're part of a secret army that has been hidden away since the days of the Empire. It's said that Kylo Ren will be looking for the army in The Rise of Skywalker, and it's going to turn out that the troopers were loyal to Palpatine only—who has found a way to resurrect himself.
This is also just my guess, but I'm almost sure that the Sith Troopers are a clone army, and their genetic template belongs to Anakin Skywalker. Though I'm not expecting them to be Force-sensitive, how insane would it be if Rey and Kylo had to go up against an entire army composed of Darth Vader clones?
Again, that's just my guess.
Catch Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker when it hits theaters Dec. 20.
