Aren’t you a little short to be a Storm Trooper?


It seemed like a simple trip: take renegade droid to Alderaan, deliver stolen Death Star plans and all would be well in the galaxy. But nothing is ever as easy as it seems for the pithy little crew of the Millennium Falcon soon found themselves ‘guests’ of the Empire in the Death Star itself. While Obi Wan Kenobi went off to disable the tractor beam to allow their escape, farm boy Luke Skywalker and intergalactic scally-wag Han Solo soon found themselves donning Storm Trooper uniforms in order to save Princess Leia from her cell and imminent termination.

Sideshow Collectibles will be bringing it’s homage to this memorable scene from Star Wars: A New Hope to Comic Con this year. Behold the Luke Skywalker and Han Solo 12″ Collectible Set. Yes, you not only get one but two classic Star Wars characters in this limited edition set. Both characters offer a 12″ armored body with over 30 points of articulation and feature the impressive detailing that Sideshow Collectibles is known for.  Both figures carry a storm trooper pistol and Luke also sports a belt attached grappling hook as well as a com-link. The Storm Trooper helmets are fully detailed in the inside but take note that they will not fit over the characters’ heads. But who really wants to cover up Han’s swarthy expression?

Debuting at this year’s Comic Con, this set is a limited editon of 2,000, retails at $189.99 USD and can only be picked up at Comic Con. A second set will be available for online purchase in the same quanitites and will retail for $199.99 USD. The purchase price for both sets include a base with the Star Wars logo on it.
