Star Wars Celebration 2025 arrives in a few weeks and is taking place in Japan this year. We have already seen a few exclusives arriving at the convention, including some limited-edition Hot Toys figures. Well, another one has been revealed with the Stormtrooper (Cherry Blossom Version). Cherry blossoms, or sakura, hold deep cultural significance in Japan and usually symbolize the passing beauty of life. Sakura has had historical ties to the samurai, embodying their fleeting yet honorable lives. Japan's culture has even played a significant role in the Star Wars universe, with the Jedi, duels, and armor design. 

The Stormtrooper is now getting new Cherry Blossom deco on his armor, with a matching patterned Haori jacket, a blaster, and a teemed backdrop. This is a very unique release and will be an imprecise highlight for any fan-growing Hot Toys trooper collection. The Star Wars Celebration Exclusive version will be limited to 1,000 units, and it's the only way to acquire that jacket. There will be a separate Hot Toys Exclusive version that is limited to 1,500 units and will be released online, including at Sideshow Collectibles.
