Squad Leaders are distinguished from standard Sandtroopers by the orange shoulder pauldron, a rank marking that fans have tracked across every iteration of this character since the original 1977 film. The Vintage Collection packaging replicates the classic Kenner card back aesthetic, giving this release a display appeal that goes beyond the figure itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe figure ships with a weathered deco consistent with the desert-worn look of Tatooine garrison troopers, along with a removable backpack and blaster accessories. The shoulder pauldron is included as a separate, attachable piece, staying true to how the rank insignia has been handled in collector-grade 3.75-inch releases. At $19.99 MSRP, this is a main-line Vintage Collection release with no exclusive or chase designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"details\"\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sandtrooper (Squad Leader)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries \/ Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: Star Wars: The Vintage Collection\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shoulder pauldron, removable backpack, blaster\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vintage Collection cardback with Kenner branding\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: VC409\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hasbro\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal MSRP\u003c\/strong\u003e: $19.99\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFranchise\u003c\/strong\u003e: Star Wars\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"disclaimer\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*PHOTO DISCLAIMER:\u003c\/strong\u003e All photos are of the actual items, unless marked as pre-order.
