• This Imperial Jumptrooper was released exclusively at Gamestop/ThinkGeek stores in early April 2019
• Imperial Jumptroopers can be seen in the Star Wars Rebels cartoon series and the Star Wars Battlefront II video game
• This figure is basically a regular Black Series Stormtrooper figure with a new helmet, a jet-pack and new shoulder bells
• There is no head underneath the helmet
• The jet-pack plugs firmly into a hole in the back of the Stormtrooper
• The cables are permanently attached to the helmet and they plug nicely into the jet-pack
• The blaster fits into the holster and the figure is able to hold it well in both hands
• Hasbro included a new triangular display stand with the Jumptrooper which allows us to display the figure in more action oriented poses on the shelf (nice!)
• Even though the display stand works OK it's not perfect, and displaying the trooper in a running pose will take some time to get the balance right
• The E-11 blaster was nicely weathered and the figure was painted well overall but our Jumptrooper had some black color smudges on the yellow shoulder bell
• All in all this Imperial Jumptrooper is a nice addition to the Black Series, especially fans of Star Wars Rebels should pick this one up
• A repainted version of this figure was released by Hasbro in June 2021, have a look here: Imperial Rocket Trooper

An elite squadron within the Imperial ranks, jumptroopers (also known as rocket troopers) were outfitted with jetpacks and utilized in tight spaces. They were trained to act in unison, often swarming and overwhelming their targets.
