Hot Toys Transport Trooper Sixth Scale Figure — The Mandalorian

Transport Trooper: What Comes in the Box

Planning Your Display

This is a compact trooper setup. Put the blaster pistol in the matching grip for a guard pose, or switch to relaxed hands to show the distressed armor and boots beside an Imperial vehicle.

Din and Mayfeld wear this type of uniform to drive a rhydonium transport through the Imperial checkpoint on Morak. Hot Toys supplies one helmeted trooper, so you can use him for either side of that patrol scene.

The Driver Inside the Rhydonium Transport

Rhydonium is highly combustible fuel, and Morak is one of the places where an Imperial remnant still refines it. A transport packed with that cargo makes a strange target for an undercover mission: Din and Mayfeld have to get the vehicle into the compound in one piece even though they’re wearing the enemy’s uniforms. The quiet shot of a driver at the checkpoint fits this release every bit as well as the pistol-drawn pose. There’s no need to add a heavy weapon just because he’s an Imperial trooper.

The outfit breaks into large hard areas at the helmet, chest and shins and darker green fabric between them. The cloth is weathered, too. Look behind the knees and along the sleeves and the dirt continues past the edges of the armor, a detail that makes a full-length photo worth taking. The six black-gloved hands come in three pairs for the pistol, fists and a relaxed stance. The single blaster is the weapon supplied here; the large transport in the episode is the setting for the figure.

Who Painted the Transport Trooper?

Hot Toys Japan lists Lok Ho as the figure painter and JC. Hong as its art director. With an enclosed helmet and no face to paint, the finish on the gear does much of the character work. Compare the scratches high on the helmet with the dust down around the boots. They’re two different kinds of wear, and the way they carry across the fabric and the hard plates makes this soldier look like he’s spent time in an Imperial motor pool.

For a second Imperial driver, compare the transport trooper’s smooth chest plate with the helmet hoses on the Imperial Remnant AT-AT Driver.
