UNBXD: HOT TOYS SNOWTROOPER COMMANDER

The review covers the Hot Toys Snowtrooper Commander, an exclusive sixth-scale figure (Movie Masterpiece #835) that appears briefly in The Empire Strikes Back speaking to General Veers. The figure comes in standard Hot Toys packaging with various accessories including a thermal detonator, three sets of hands, a DL44 blaster rifle, and an E11 blaster pistol, plus a display stand. The figure features high-quality white armor with soft materials and detailed elements like boot grips. Articulation is good despite the armor constraints, with removable shoulder plates for enhanced arm movement, though the head movement is restricted by the solid face plate. The figure offers waist articulation and proper weapon storage. As a Hot Toys exclusive limited to 3,000 units, it's not widely distributed, though Sideshow has it on backorder and some Hong Kong retailers still have stock. Dan compares it to the 2017 regular Snowtrooper, noting key differences including cleaner face plates on the Commander versus the weathered grunt version, different colored soft goods, the absence of knee pads and survival pack on the Commander, and different boot designs. He highlights an interesting screen-accurate detail where the shoulder pads face different directions, apparently replicating a costume mistake from the original film.
