The Range Trooper (Holiday Edition) was released in November 2020 exclusively through Target stores
The Range Trooper was bundled together with a Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer version of D-0
The figure is a rework and repaint of the Black Series Range Trooper from 2018
For this release the faux fur around the neck was replaced with a plastic version and the figure was painted in Santa Claus colors
Instead of a blaster the Range Trooper comes with a translucent blade weapon which was originally included with the 2019 SDCC exclusive version of the Sith Trooper
There are no removable parts on this figure
There is no head underneath the helmet
The blade weapon fits into both hands
The ankles are swivel jointed and right between the shoes and the shins is an additional armor plate which can be moved up and down
The Range Trooper stands well on display without falling over
The idea of Holiday themed figures is fun and we've seen Holiday themed figures in the 3 3/4" line since 2002
For this particular release however a Range Trooper feels like an odd choice for Santa Claus (how about Palpatine or Vader?) and instead of including a blade weapon a sack of toys hanging over the shoulder would have been more appropriate
