1997 Star Wars Imperial Snow Stormtrooper

I am offering a 1997 STAR WARS "Power of the Force" Imperial Snowtrooper action figure for sale. The out-of-the-box 3 ¾ inch figure is in extremely excellent condition and is very detailed with great weathering effects. The Snowtrooper has movable arms and legs, twisting waist and comes complete with its blaster pistol and removable back-pack.

Snowtroopers, also known as Cold Assault Stormtroopers, were Imperial Stormtroopers trained to operate in arctic climates. The snowtroopers were the successors of the Clone Cold Assault Troopers under Clone Commander Keller during the Clone Wars.

Snowtroopers were utilized on many different icy worlds in the Star Wars Universe, including the Imperial Garrison on the Planet Akuria II. Their most notable campaign was at the Battle of Hoth, where the Imperial Blizzard Force defeated the Rebel Alliance and overran Echo Base.

Assault on Echo Base during the Battle of Hoth

Snowtroopers were armed with the standard issued E-11 blaster rifles of stormtroopers, SE-14R light repeating blasters, two concussion grenades, and one frag grenade. Elite snowtroopers were given the DLT-20A blaster rifle as a replacement for the E-11, and two stun grenades. Snowtroopers commonly employed E-web heavy repeating blasters.

Snowtrooper armor was well suited to the climate extremes of frozen worlds such as Hoth, Rhen Var, and Toola. Like other stormtroopers, snowtroopers wore a standard black two-piece temperature control body glove. Over this was an eighteen-piece outer shell altered to include more powerful heating and personal environment units, and an airtight fabric oversuit for additional protection from the cold. Their helmets had built-in polarized snow goggles. The chest plate worn by the snowtroopers was constructed of a plastoid composite armor.

To facilitate breathing in extremely cold or dangerous atmospheres, a breather hood enveloped the snowtrooper's faceplate and fed into the suit liner. Each trooper was equipped with terrain-grip boots, a standard utility belt containing high-tension wire, grappling hooks, ion flares, additional blaster ammunition, a survival kit, and ration packs.
