The latest addition to Hot Toys' Star Wars collection of figures puts the spotlight on the Dark Troopers from The Mandalorian.
The Dark Trooper figure stands approximately 32.5 cm tall and features over 25 points of articulation. It also features a light-up helmet and chest panel and comes with three pairs of interchangeable hands and a blaster rifle. Following in the footsteps of all Hot Toys figures, the Dark Trooper features premium details -- specifically, applied black armor painting.
The Dark Trooper figure is priced at $260 and will go on sale in April 2022. It is currently available for pre-order on the Hot Toys website.
The Dark Troopers first appeared in the Season 2 episode "The Heiress," as Moff Gideon was looking to create a new form of Stormtrooper that removed "the final weakness" -- the human inside. As nigh-indestructible droids, the Dark Troopers proved to be more than a match for Din Djarin. The Dark Troopers were ultimately destroyed by Jedi Master Luke Skywalker, who had been called by the Force-sensitive child Grogu.
Created by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers and Giancarlo Esposito. Seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming on Disney+. Season 3 is expected to begin production in the spring.
