Jumbo Trooper

Star Wars collectible finds a way to be both Stormtrooper and droid

Admit it, you’ve always thought that Stormtroopers were kinda weak. Sure, their armor looks pretty cool, but it doesn’t seem to ever protect them from anything. And shouldn’t someone have taught them how to not get their asses kicked by ewoks?

Thankfully, Super7’s Stormtrooper Super Shogun has arrived to give the trooping profession a needed dose of awesomeness. Standing a full two-feet tall, the collectible is something of a hybrid, crossing the Star Wars character with the much-beloved Shogun Warrior fighting robots of the ’70s. Those Japanese imports have become collector favorites, and Super7 has replicated their attributes right down to the production technique: blow-molded polyethylene with a painted vinyl head. Just like you’ve been dreaming of! Plus, again like those legendary toys, the Stormtrooper Super Shogun has free-rotating wheels in his feet and a ridiculously sweet, spring-loaded fist that launches off his arm.

So don’t ever let the Super Shogun catch you mouthing off about Stormtroopers. He can bitch slap you from 10 meters out.
