Hasbro Star Wars: The Black Series Gaming Greats Rocket Launcher Trooper (Jedi: Fallen Order) Exclusive

Description

The Star Wars: The Black Series Gaming Greats Rocket Launcher Trooper from Jedi: Fallen Order is a specialized and exclusive action figure. It is part of the “Gaming Greats” sub-line, which focuses on characters and designs from Star Wars video games.

Here is a detailed breakdown of its product features:

1. Unique Character and Design:

• Source Material: The figure’s design is directly inspired by the Rocket Launcher Trooper enemy unit from the video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. This distinguishes it from standard Stormtrooper figures based on the films.
• Specialized Role: As its name suggests, this is a specialized type of Stormtrooper. The figure’s design includes the standard Stormtrooper armor but is specifically geared for its role as a heavy-weapons trooper.
• Pauldron: The figure features a black pauldron on its right shoulder. In Imperial ranks, pauldrons typically denote rank or specialization, making this a key visual identifier from the game.

2. Key Accessories:

• RPS-6 Rocket Launcher: The main feature of this figure is its unique weapon: the RPS-6 smart rocket launcher. This accessory is a new sculpt for the Black Series line, separate from the standard E-11 blaster. It’s an oversized, cylindrical weapon with a flared rear section and detailed grips, accurately representing the formidable long-range weapon from the game.
• Standard Blaster: While the primary weapon is the rocket launcher, the figure typically also includes the standard E-11 blaster rifle, giving collectors options for display.

3. Articulation and Sculpt:

• Updated Body Mold: The figure utilizes the updated, “pinless” Stormtrooper body mold. This newer sculpt has fewer visible pins at the joints (like the elbows and knees), resulting in a cleaner, more seamless look. This body mold also generally offers a wider range of motion and improved articulation over older Stormtrooper figures.
• Premium Articulation: As with all Black Series figures, it features a high number of articulation points, including a poseable head, arms, torso, and legs. This allows for a wide range of dynamic poses, from holding the heavy rocket launcher in a firing stance to taking cover.
• Paint Application: The paint is clean and crisp, with black details on the white armor and a uniform finish that matches its in-game appearance.

4. Exclusivity and Packaging:

• Gaming Greats Line: As part of the “Gaming Greats” sub-line, it is often released as a store-exclusive, which increases its collectible value. In the past, it has been an exclusive to retailers like GameStop in the US.
• Collector-Friendly Packaging: It comes in the standard Black Series packaging, with the Gaming Greats line featuring a distinct color coding, often with a blue hue. Modern releases of this figure are also presented in the closed-box format, which is a new standard for the line.
