These pre-painted plastic miniatures can be enjoyed for their collectability and detail, as part of a tabletop skirmish play, or as an enhancement to the Star Wars Roleplaying Game. Also, they make an intimidating bulwark for any invaders who would dare trespass onto your cubicle or workstation space.
Here's a sampling of some of the minis in this set. They're randomly packaged in booster packs of seven, with a total of 40 in the collection. These are due out on March 17, 2009.
Dash Rendar: Don't call him Han Solo-light. Dash is a cocky smuggler with a fast Corellian hotrod of a ship -- the Outrider -- but unlike Solo, the Rebel Alliance hasn't fully earned his allegiance. Dash helped out the Rebels when they paid enough, offering his transportation and mercenary services during the Rebels' time on Hoth. He got stuck on the ice planet when the Empire attacked, and his exploits became the foundations of several memorable videogame levels back in the Shadow of the Empire days.
Snowtrooper: The Blizzard Force assault stormtroopers fit their code-name quite well -- they're white, cold-hearted, strike fast and strike hard, leaving eerie silence in their wake. They're elite stormtroopers assigned to General Veers' task force that attacked Echo Base on Hoth.
Snowtrooper Commander: Distinguished from the standard rank-and-file by the blue and red insignia on his chestplate, this commander received orders directly from General Veers. He led his snowtroopers in the invasion of the doomed Echo Base on Hoth.
