STARWARSSHOP.COM EXCLUSIVE 2006
From the dark legions of the Empire's intelligence reconnaissance agencies comes StarWarsShop's latest worldwide-exclusive action figure: Shadow Stormtrooper.

The evasive Shadow Troopers, identified by their signature black armor, served a mysterious agent of Palpatine code-named Blackhole during the Galactic Civil War. Blackhole's charge was to retrieve and sift through data gathered by his covert agents, distilling it into useful information for use by Imperial Intelligence. Per his orders, the Stormtroopers under his command had their armor cast in a black stygium-triprismatic polymer that afforded them increased sensor-stealth.
This StarWarsShop exclusive figure is the same sculpt as the VOTC Stormtrooper painted black with dull black helmet and includes a chrome-plated figure stand along with the shopstarwars.com branded star case.

This figure is an expanded universe figure with more to come late in 2006 by Hasbro and retails at $14.99 each.
