Rebel Trooper (Hoth) 6 Inch Star Wars The Black Series Archives Figure

Star Wars The Black Series Rebel Trooper (Hoth): I'd been waiting for some snow to show off this guy and it doesn't get better than breaking him out during a polar vortex and snowmageddon to show him off.  And photos were not easy.  It was so cold so gloves were a must have.  I did take them off for a few seconds at a time and quickly regretted it.
The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite movie in the Star Wars franchise and those scenes from Hoth are probably my favorite.  The rebel troopers in the movie had a great look to me as did the snowtroopers which I'll show off in a different post.  I really like how these first two photos came out.
This is a good looking figure.  That said it takes some work to get him posed.  I looked at some poses online to help me get him in the right position.  I suggest that when posing any figures.  You can get some good ideas and see how others were able to get these guys in the right position. 
He comes with goggles which you he can have on or off.  Note - do not try moving it in 2 degree weather and wind.  Small pieces...numb fingers...'nuff said. On his right hip is a blaster holster with the blaster in it.  He also comes with a mask that goes over the bottom of his face.  

This was fun.  I enjoy getting to show these guys off.  Looking back I somehow never showed off my snowtrooper when I opened him up in 2019 so I'm going to do that pretty soon as well.

  1. ESB is my favorite movie too. And the opening on Hoth plays a big part in my vote. Great looking figure.

  2. I love how you incorporate the landscape into these pics. Really reminds me of how we used to play with our figures as kids.

    1. I was the same as a kid. My figures could end up anywhere when I played.
