It is hard to believe that the Star Wars brand, which started as a single movie back in 1977, is more popular today than ever before. There are Star Wars parties, conferences, costumes, outfits, toys, dolls, games and more. Nearly 40 years after that iconic Star Wars movie by George Lucas, the characters from “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away” can still be seen everywhere. That includes the Imperial Stormtrooper, which Interactech has developed a character for this holiday season.

Key Elements of the Interactech Imperial Stormtrooper

* 12 inch accurately detailed action figure
* Recommended for children 4 years old and up
* Inexpensive addition to any serious Star Wars collection
* Includes blaster rifle accessory
* Faithfully reproduced from the movie character

What Makes the Interactech Imperial Stormtrooper a Smart Purchase?

Stormtroopers are the “best of the best” fighters on the side of the evil Darth Vader-led Imperial cause. They attempted to thwart the efforts of Han Solo, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker at every turn in the movie series, and now your child can re-enact his or her favorite movie battles with this interactive holiday release. If you have seen any Star Wars movies, you know that these white-clad warriors break the traditional habit of white denoting good guys.

Just as in the movies, this 1 foot tall, highly detailed stormtrooper is sheathed in hard, protective white armor with black trim. That construction is what will keep your storm trooper impervious to the hostile temperatures and environments of the many planets your child will be fighting on in his or her role-play battles.

This is more than just a decent sized doll which requires your child to come up with imaginative uses for. He actually responds to certain movements through a built-in motion sensor. Just as Darth Vader can strangle someone without touching them with just a wave of his hand, your child can control the movements of this Star Wars character without touching it.

Another neat addition are the more than 65 different phrases and sound effects the Imperial Stormtrooper is programmed with. Your child can fight with the included blaster rifle, or remove it for hand-to-hand combat scenarios. When in hand-to-hand fighting mode, the stormtrooper emits actual punching sounds.

For Star Wars collectors this highly detailed, durable, faithful representation of an Imperial Stormtrooper would make a great addition to any collection. For children enamored with the Star Wars movie line, this is a toy that will no doubt be a popular bestseller this holiday season.
