Star Wars Saga Collection 501st Stormtrooper, '06 SDCC Exclusive, Hasbro '06

A 2006 San Diego Comic Con exclusive and one of the standout convention releases of that era. The 501st Stormtrooper — "Vader's Fist," the elite Imperial unit considered the finest soldiers in the galaxy — is rendered here as a repaint of the TSC Shadow Stormtrooper sculpt in standard white Stormtrooper armor with 501st Legion markings on the chest. The packaging is the headline feature: a premium clamshell with a customizable bio card slot that allows the owner to insert their own name, making each package uniquely personalized. The standout accessory is a 501st Legion flagpole stand — a display piece unique to this exclusive release. Original MSRP was $14.99, nearly double the standard TSC basic figure price. Source is classified as Expanded Universe/Hasbro concept, as the 501st as an Imperial Stormtrooper unit was not explicitly depicted in the films at the time of release.
