The armor has plenty of dirt, wear, and some unknown speckled spatter on it and youвЂ™re immediately taken by the fact that is looks incredibly realistic. There are obviously no machinations in play here and Sideshow Collectibles held nothing back to decorate this figure brilliantly. When it comes to any вЂњshadowвЂќ figure in the Star Wars universe, licensees tend to get lazy and ignore the various dirt and battle-damage markings on the armor, whether itвЂ™s because they want to save a few pennies or think that you wonвЂ™t notice. ItвЂ™s quite honestly the best Utapau Shadow Trooper collectible on the market. So now Sideshow steps up to the plate and releases the Utapau Shadow Trooper in 12вЂќ format. (This is an awesome collectible by the way.) (In case youвЂ™re curious and cannot figure out who the second licensee was, it was Master Replicas, who released the RazorвЂ™s Edge Collectibles exclusive Utapau Shadow Trooper scaled helmet. But itвЂ™s apparent that love for the Utapau Shadow Trooper hasnвЂ™t waned nearly a half decade after its debut and now Sideshow is now the third licensee to bring this stylish clone trooper to collectorsвЂ™ homes. In a strange turn of events, these sets didnвЂ™t nearly move like the basic figure did, which is a shame because the figure were much better.

(And it became one of the briskest sellers in that group as well!) Knowing that their unique concept was hugely embraced, Hasbro upgraded the sculpt of the original 2005 Utapau Shadow Trooper utilizing the collector favorite 2005 ROTS Clone Trooper (III 41) sculpt and gave it an incredible new paint job in the Utapau Shadow Trooper color scheme (obviously). And the demand was so great that it was a FansвЂ™ Choice poll winner and the Utapau Shadow Trooper was released in early 2008 under the new 30 (77-07) Saga Legends branding.

It sold like crazy and collectors were army building it at full price, not even waiting for clearance. They were the purveyors of the Shadow Trooper concept and in 2005 released the Revenge Of The Sith Utapau Shadow Trooper TARGET exclusive basic figure. Hasbro is certainly good for a few вЂњHasbro UniverseвЂќ concepts for sure.
