Dark Trooper (Deluxe) - #TM28

[Etain]

Jedi Insider has posted a rumor of a Deluxe Dark Trooper arriving next year (2022) for $29.99 MSRP.

If true, it's going to be a bummer army building this guy, especially if this is the only version available. Not that a mainline assortment release would be that much cheaper. I also imagine that "Deluxe" is somewhat of a misnomer here as the size would be the only thing qualifying it for a higher price point and not any additional "accessories". Although, I could go for some sweet attachable rocket flames for the feet.

From the article:

Next year several new Black Series Deluxe figures will be coming, one of which includes a new Dark Trooper. We ASSUME it will be based on the most recent one that appeared in season 2 of the Disney+ The Mandalorian series. Our info only says Dark Trooper which is why we can only assume which version of the Dark Trooper it will be based on. The cost will be $29.99 for it. Of course as always treat this as rumor until Hasbro gets around to officially confirming it.​

Dark Trooper (Deluxe) from The Mandalorian. Bring Home the Bounty "Bonus Bounties" Week 6 reveal.

Not an exclusive. On shelf Spring 2023. MSRP is $33.99. Available for pre-order February 8th at 1pm ET at all the usual places.

On Yakface it’s expected to be $31-35. I would prefer $29.99 to be more accurate but with the price increases it seems less likely.

 

[Etain]

Don't know, except that Yakface got the info from Jedi Insider whose source stated $29.99. I think Jayson's guess is based only on price increase speculation, not info from any source.

 

[LipSmack]

I could see boot jet effects and attachable flames as what makes this deluxe, even though I'd happily take a trimmer version, swappable hands would be nice too

I guess size is it that would let then label it Deluxe. I think a DT would be around the shape of Wrecker.
Flame effects and hopefully a fitting stand to make him fly would be nice too.
What about light up eyes ?

I think light up eyes would be a waste of resources, but I could see a function where the top of the head comes off and you can flip the eyes to red or black for power up or down

 

[Oofa]

They could do what they did with 4-LOM's green "eyes" - a translucent red plastic when shone from behind it "lights" up.
It's a cheap way to go around it.

 

[thenza]

I’m not surprised by the deluxe tag and price. I’m still gonna end up with 3 or 4, assuming I ever actually see it for MSRP. I’d gladly get a Wrecker too if Hasbro hadn’t made it so hard over the last 2 years to actually find their products.

 

[DeWonnaWonga]

Yeah @thenza I'm sure this will be a joy to find once it's actually made. It will join every new figure henceforth in being a deluxe offering.

 

[HeirToThrawn]

Time to finish my Kyle Katarn custom then.

 

[Codeman1432]

ive been wanting these guys SO SO SO SO SO badly since the s2 ending of Mando.

i was planning on buying 4-6 originally had they been released at the $19.99/$24.99 price point, but at the 'deluxe' price point, theyll be lucky to see me buy more than two...if i even feel like ponying up the cash for two.UGH

 

[RUOKR2]

Deluxe?! This figure requires one paint-app...

I plan on getting at least 3 of them. They are too cool. I only saw clips on YouTube for the end of season 2. Really love the look of these guy.

 

[TK_171]

Will pick one up for sure. No way I'm army building deluxe figures though

Same here. It’s a great homage to the original EU Darktroopers. But at $30+ per figure, no way I’m buying multiples. Personally I’d prefer a Bandai model kit version for the sharper details but I’ll take what I can get.

Probably a lot sturdier in limbs too.

Jedi Insider is reporting that this will possibly go up for pre-order next week - same date and time as the Walmart Jedi Ruins Fett.

Looks like the Star Wars The Black Series Deluxe Dark Trooper based on their appearance in Disney+ The Mandalorian series is slated to go up for pre-order next week on the 8th starting at 1pm ET. This will be a general release so it will be available at all your favorite online etailers that see Black Series.​

 

[Masterfett]

I'm unclear on something, are you suggesting that Walmart "Ruins" Fett or is that what he's called? lol And IMO they should have went with Tyhton instead of Jedi Ruins as that implies something about Fett. No? I know they already had one called "Tython" but they're both technically the same sans armor. It feels like a needless repaint TBH.


I am curious as to how this Dark Trooper figure will turn out but have no plans to buy it as I'm thinking it will be $35.

The official name of the figure from the press release is Boba Fett (Tython) Jedi Ruins. ~ I just like using Jedi Ruins Fett.

Is that because we’ve seen how Disney+ Ruins Boba Fett?

 

[saddestmoon]

Bout time we saw this figure! looking very forward to it!

 

[General Hoth]

I'm excited to see the reveal of the Dark Trooper figure.

 

[ClanVizsla]

Excited to see what this looks like -- if it's remotely appealing, I'll be in for one.

Since it'll be a deluxe price, I'd love it if they included a lump of plastic painted to be a Force-crushed torso of a second trooper. Minimal tooling and painting! C'mon, Hasbro!

I highly doubt they will do, more like some bigger flame effect for their jet-boots

 

[rnbuda]

What would be cool is 1 complete Dark Trooper and another damaged torso from Luke's lightsaber along with flame effects...."deluxe".

 

[AgentClaret]

Accessories? What year do you guys think this is, 2020?!?

They'll give this one a gun and that's it. And they'll still call it deluxe and charge $30+!

But the paint apps! Oh wait......

 

[Oofa]

But the paint apps! Oh wait......

Don't worry. They have probably invented a new paint tech where the black is shiny on the figures.

"That'll be $8"

 

[rnbuda]

Can't afford vac-forming...

...but funko can for $8.99 pops...

 

[jedimasterc]

The thing reminds me of Maximilian from the Black Hole.

I knew there was a reason I liked the design so much...

 

[RUOKR2]

I need to rewatch that movie. It’s been decades!

 

[YodaMan2]

Photos are up from BBTS

 

[Oofa]

Who's the hobo?

Edit: Btw.. too bad they didn't use this opportunity to make the arm the one Mayfield should've had.

 

[OxnardMontalvo]

Some confusion that the DT may be vintage also.....

 

[Etain]

Love the disclaimer in the last image: "FIGURE DOES NOT FLY"

 

[Furbs]

That's almost an actual deluxe figure... I want four but army building at deluxe prices will get me in trouble.

 

[mcautographs]

Reminds me of a Lego constraction figure. Seems like it would be a no brainer for a Bandai model kit.

 

[dsuspense]

Looks good!
Finally a good representation of a figure instead of the crappy Boba Fett Deluxe and Mando Repaint Deluxe figures they have been pushing in TBS

 

[djcos25]

Love the disclaimer in the last image: "FIGURE DOES NOT FLY"

Welp, that's a deal breaker for me.
