Epic Sci-Fi Figures

The Star Wars Elite Collection Features Badass Stormtrooper Commanders

— April 6, 2011 — Life-Stages
The Star Wars Elite Collection is a series of scaled-down characters from the famous science fiction saga. Each figure in the Star Wars Elite Collection is made in a 1:10 scale and features different types of troopers wearing unique armors.

In the Star Wars Elite Collection, there is the standard Stormtrooper in all white, a Shadow Trooper in all black, a Kashyyyk Trooper in camouflage and a 501st Trooper with special blue markings. The collection also features multiple commanders, each sporting their own individualized armor.
