First Order of business: New Stormtroopers please

Stormtroopers! They can’t aim worth a damn as even on the best of days they’ve got the marksman skills of a tree stump in a coma. Thing is, the Star Wars galaxy would be a lot less entertaining without a few legions of cannon fodder running around in their nice shiny white uniforms.

Stormtroopers are about as disposable as nappies on a newborn baby, and pretty much just as cheap to make fun of. But here’s the thing: I’d freakin’ love to have not one but ALL the Stormtrooper toys possible.

I mean, just imagine a shelf, filled to the brim with the soldiers of the Empire, and a Sith Lord to lead them into glorious battle against the youngling Barbie dolls and dammit I’ve lost my train of thought again.

ANYWAY. A new Star Wars movie this year means a new generation of expendable troopers. Specifically, soldiers who have pledged their allegiance to the First Order and Apple, judging by how their armour has evolved over the years. And there’ll be several such Stormtroopers available, as Hot Toys has an entire squad of them on the way. Check it:
