The Mandalorian – Dark Trooper Statue by Iron Studios

Iron Studios sent over a press release for their upcoming The Mandalorian – Dark Trooper 1/10 Scale Statue. Moff Gideon’s elite droid troopers were created to return the Empire to power. Inspired by the 1995 video game Dark Forces, the Dark Troopers were about to take down Din Djarin and his team when Luke Skywalker appeared and completely destroyed the new trooper squad. The statue stands almost 9.5″ tall on a themed base. It includes interchangeable arms.

The Dark Trooper Statue is priced at $129.99. It will be released in the Second Quarter of 2022. See the press release and new photos after the jump.

Iron Studios brings the powerful and dark Imperial droid from The Mandalorian!

A figure covered in shining black armor is aboard Imperial Officer Moff Gideon’s space cruiser, directing his red photoreceptor eyes towards his objective, wielding a large blaster rifle and ready to fire with precision at any target. Iron Studios thus presents its statue of the fearsome “Dark Trooper BDS Art Scale 1/10 – The Mandalorian – Iron Studios”, one of the most efficient and powerful Imperial combat droids. Just as seen in the second season of The Mandalorian series, a spin-off from Star Wars on the Disney+ streaming channel.

The first original Dark Troopers were not combat droids, but cyborg clone troopers, with over 70% of their body parts replaced by mechanical components. The Dark Trooper project saw the human side within them as a weakness, so in its third generation, it created advanced battle droids endowed with a military infantry exoskeleton. Similar to the armor of the Stormtroopers, they carried powerful weaponry with rockets at their feet, with extreme strength and flexibility.

The Dark Troopers, responsible for the kidnapping on the planet Tython of the child named Grogu (Baby Yoda), took him aboard Gideon’s ship, where an entire platoon of lethal robotic soldiers was kept in a cargo compartment. An almost insurmountable obstacle for the Mandalorian Din Djarin (Mando) and his allies in his mission to rescue Grogu. The Dark Troopers were only defeated because the powerful Jedi Master Luke Skywalker helped them.

Unveiled firsthand in the Sideshow Con virtual event, a must-have for Star Wars fans and collectors, the statue has two pairs of interchangeable hands, giving you the option of different ways to display. The collector can even choose to purchase more than one figure to create a troop of Dark Troopers to join the other pieces of Iron Studios’ The Mandalorian line already announced, and with many more to come.
