They are big, muscular, fearsome and can withstand any adverse conditions. No, of course we’re not talking about Stormtroopers, but Dewbacks – those reptiles that serve as mounts for the Imperial troops on Tatooine. They combine all the characteristics that a Stormtrooper would like to have (and, of course, can handle weapons just as well!)

Still, the Sandtroopers, as this special unit is called, are a particularly impressive sight in the Star Wars universe on their Dewbacks – which is saying something with all the fascinating creatures the films have to offer.

That’s why the Star Wars Beast Kingdom Sandtrooper & Dewback Collectible Figure makes quite a statement on the shelf. Due to the shifted proportions, however, the rider and animal are a little cuter and less menacing than the original, although the vinyl and the detailed painting make the Dewback in particular look almost lifelike. With the help of the many movable joints, you can display the characters in any number of positions, even recreate scenes from Episode IV!
