Star Wars Dark Trooper Receives New Card Backed Release from Hasbro 

Imperial March continues with a new set of impressive Star Wars collectibles and Hasbro has some fun new releases heading our way 

The Mandalorian introduced Star Wars fans to a new era of Stormtroopers with the arrival of the Dark Trooper. Dark Troopers have been inside Star Wars lore and video games prior to their on-screen debut, but these new reiterations are something special. There is no error of humanity in these beauties, featuring a black chrome look, the Dark Troopers are deadly robotic soldiers that are perfect practice for a Master Jedi. Hasbro has announced the return of these deadly bots with The Vintage Collection as they get their own single card backed release. The previous Dark Trooper figure was a Deluxe release with non-window packaging and featured a connectible base.

The Mandalorian fans can now bring home a card backed version of this character at long last. Hasbro has just included a single blaster for this release, and he will work well as enemies for Luke Skywalker or for some fun Mando displays. This release is long overdue, so it is nice to see some card backed releases for previous non-windowed figures. The Dark Trooper will be priced at $16.99 with pre-orders already live online, like Hasbro Pulse, with Moff Gideon's army arriving in October 2024.
