Hot Toys Shoretrooper gives close-up of potential Battlefront outfit!
Hot Toys recently announced a new 1/6th figure lineup promoting Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Chief among the new figures is the Shoretrooper. Stationed on Scarif, Shoretroopers make their on-screen debut in Rouge One, which hits movie theaters on December 16.
I really hope to see the Shoretrooper in Battlefront; their appearance would give a fresh look to the Empire’s roster in the game. I especially like how their tan outfit fits the tropical landscape of Scarif.
The Shoretrooper figure also features a new blaster rifle, as better seen below. Perhaps this is a preview of a future weapon that could arrive in Battlefront:
Hot Toys also debuted a Rogue One Darth Vader figure and a Stormtrooper Jedha Patrol wearing a white pauldron (which is now equippable in Battlefront!).
The figures are available to pre-order now. The Stormtrooper is expected to arrive between October and December of this year. Meanwhile, the Shoretrooper and Darth Vader figures have January to March 2017 arrival dates.
These new figures comes a day after the mobile strategy title Star Wars Commander received the Shoretrooper character in-game. Hot Toys previously revealed a Rogue One-themed Death Trooper a few weeks back.
What do you think of the Shoretrooper potentially showing up in Battlefront? Share your thoughts in the comments below, or let us know via Twitter or Facebook.
Personally, the Shore trooper’s my new favorite Imperial trooper – yep, even prefer it over the Death trooper! – so am REALLY hoping we get it Battlefront (and eventually ofc, Skirmish ; ) ) am fairly certain we will though ^^
That Tank Driver looks pretty badass too ; )
Definitely agree. I love the look of the shoretrooper. If I had to pick one skin, it would be that one.
