Sandtrooper Premium Format Preorder
Sideshow Collectibles is now taking preorders for their Sandtrooper Premium Format figure.
On the lookout for Rebel forces and missing droids, the battle-hardened squad leader is fully equipped to operate in the harshest environments, fitted with authentically detailed weathered armor and survival gear.
