Regular Edition
Price: $419.99
Limited Edition: TBA

Inspired by appearances in Star Wars: A New Hope, Sideshow proudly presents the Sandtrooper Premium Format™ Figure.

Deployed on a mission to the desert world of Tatooine with his standard issue blaster in hand, the Imperial Sandtrooper is armed and ready for anything – except perhaps Jedi mind tricks. On the lookout for Rebel forces and missing droids, the battle-hardened squad leader is fully equipped to operate in the harshest environments, fitted with authentically detailed weathered armor and survival gear.

Depicted patrolling a barren stretch of the Dune Sea, the themed deco base features an enormous bantha skull at his feet.

Sideshow Exclusive Edition:
In addition to the bantha skull, the Sideshow Exclusive Edition will also feature a womp rat base accessory (shown below).

Equipped and outfitted to withstand harsher desertlike environments, the Sandtroopers™ were the perfect squadron of troopers to deploy on Tattoine in Star Wars™: A New Hope. Sideshow’s Standtrooper™ Premium Format™ Figure will be available for Pre-Order soon Empire fans!

From a Q&A with a Sideshow rep:

Sandtrooper should HOPEFULLY be up in February for Pre-Order but it's possible it might be bumped to March.

From a Q&A with a Sideshow rep:

That would put shipping about mid 2017- early 2018 abouts.
