Specialty:
Battle in extreme cold conditions
Mission:
Conquer rebels on Hoth
Escort:
Darth Vader into the Rebel's base
Comments:
The snowtroopers escort Darth Vader as they storm into Echo Base. Once inside, they find that most of the Rebels have already fled. Only the Millennium Falcon remains, hampered by persistent electrical problems. As the snowtroopers mount their heavy repeating blasters, Han Solo quickly deploys a secret blaster on the Falcon's underside to keep the attackers at bay.
Points of Interest:
This Snowtrooper is a kit-bashed figure made from the body of 2003's SAGA Snowtrooper 03-19 figure and the arms and legs from 1997's POTF2 Snowtrooper figure.
The POTF2 figures are all the standard trooper, while the SAGA/OTC figure are officers. Since this TSC figure utilizes parts from previous figures, it is not clear which rank, if any, this figure is supposed to represent.
The base included with this figure refers to him as "Imperial Snowtrooper".
