StarWarsShop is the exclusive U.S. distributor for the latest in Kotobukiya's striking line of Star Wars soft vinyl model kits: the Episode III Shock Trooper. One of the most elite in the clone trooper ranks, the shock troopers are distinguished by the scarlet ornamentation on their armor and serve as Palpatine's personal guard on Coruscant and for offworld excursions.
In Revenge of the Sith, shock troopers are seen searching for Yoda following his battle with Palpatine in the Galactic Senate chamber, and also on Mustafar accompanying the Emperor to retrieve the scorched body of his new apprentice. As we have learned from Palpatine's royal guards, red seems to be the color of choice for those regiments worthy of distinction in his ranks.
This new Koto edition, which is limited to an edition size of 1,000 in the U.S., measures 12" tall and consists of ten easy-to-assemble fully painted pieces. StarWarsShop is the only place U.S. shoppers can officially get this one.
