Sandtrooper

The Sandtroooper figure is one of my favorites because it serves multiple purposes. It can be a regular Stormtrooper, a commander, or... a Sandtrooper. The model is made out of white plastic and the black jumpsuit is painted on. The helmet is well detailed and very realistic. There're no bleeds and the eyes are great. His eguiptment belt comes with a built in holster, though it doesn't really work. You can restle the E-11 in, but it looks stupid (and like an accident waiting to happen) with the barrell pointed at his rearHe has the eight articulation spots: ankles, knees, hips, shest area, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and neck. With a certain amount of twisting, he can raise his arm to salute. The lags can't go back very far because of the butt armor, but unlike thePhase III predecesors, the leg can go all the way forwards because the groin gaurd is reduced.

The accesories are what defines this guy from your average Imperial cannon fodder. It has the backpack which is black and grey/blue. It's nice because there are little details in it so it's not just flat. It fits onto the trooper's back with a rectangular peg and it will stay as long as you attach the white cylinder to the back of his belt. The cylinder (I don't know what it's called) is the same color as the armor and is very well detailed. It fits onto his belt with a square peg and is quite secure, just don't lose it! The last feature is the shoulder guard. It fits over his head under the helmet. If you want a commander, just pant part of it yellow. It's got some nice lines and isn't just a flat piece of plastic. He also comes with the typical E-11 blastech rifle. It's...black and...rifle-ish. Sandy has a pike/walking stick aswell. It's about a head and a half taller than him and is grey and brown. It doesn't fit in his hand too well, though. The only downside to the accesories is that it compromises hiss balence and to get him to stand you actually have to hunch him over a fair bit. The Sandtrooper also came with the weapons locker containing all six generic weapons. I like this guy a lot because he's got the three functions like I said. Stormtroopers are hard to find (where I live) and he's a great substitute.
