You’ll notice this Stormtrooper—a Swoletrooper, if you will—has the trademark barrel chest and tiny waist of Hasbro’s early figures. But what makes him more notable is that he was part of a small sub-line that paired figures with giant, ludicrous action accessories. For the Stormtrooper, it was this “Crowd Control” device, which doesn’t seem like it would be particularly useful for controlling crowds, not least because it has a claw from a crane game on it. Remarkably, this is one of the more reasonable accessories in the line.
