Stormtroopers sent to desert planets are called Sandtroopers. They wear special gear and their ranks are shown by colored pauldrons. Equipped with standard armor plus cooling units, a helmet sand filter, and a survival backpack, they're ready for the desert. In Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, a Sandtrooper Sergeant rode a Dewback while searching for the Death Star™ plans on Tatooine. Hot Toys presents an amazing sixth - scale collectible set of the Sandtrooper Sergeant and Dewback to recreate this iconic scene. The Sandtrooper Sergeant figure is super - detailed, with well - crafted armor and helmet showing weathering, a white pauldron for the sergeant rank, a detailed survival backpack, a droid ring, two blasters, binoculars, a rod staff, and a desert - themed stand. Measuring about 30 cm tall, it has over 30 points of articulation and seven interchangeable gloved hands. The Dewback figure, around 80 cm long, is made based on the movie appearance. It has a detailed head and body texture, an interchangeable open - mouth head, and a saddle for the rider. It measures approximately 37cm H x 80cm L x 35cm W and comes with an interchangeable closed jaw, a right - standing leg, and a set of bridle and saddle with bags. Each collectible is hand - painted.
Using these collectibles is easy. You can pose the Sandtrooper Sergeant on the Dewback's saddle to recreate the scene from the movie. For posing, gently move the joints of the Sandtrooper Sergeant figure, but don't force them as they're delicate. When handling the Dewback, be careful with the interchangeable parts like the open - mouth head and the closed jaw. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If the figures get dirty, you can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe them. Avoid using any chemicals or wet cloths as they might damage the paint. Also, store them in a place where they won't be knocked over or bumped to prevent breakage.
