Hasbro’s Spooky Star Wars Halloween Clone Trooper Returns from the Grave
From a galaxy far, far away, Hasbro’s coveted Star Wars: The Black Series Clone Trooper (Halloween Edition) makes its undead return to the collectibles aisle. This isn’t your average Star Wars figurine. It’s a cunning blend of Lucasfilm legend and Halloween hijinks.
The Return of the Target Exclusive Clone Trooper
Remember the Target Exclusive Halloween Edition Clone Trooper? The one that sold out faster than you could say “The Force is strong with this one”? That Renfield-esque rarity is back, shuffling its way into mainstream re-release. Sporting a sharp-as-a-scythe skeleton deco on jet-black armor, this figure is resurrected just in time to lead a spectral squadron for the Republic.
But that’s just the beginning. In keeping with the spooky spirit, this Clone Trooper isn’t alone. He’s got a Transylvanian buddy, a vampire Porg, to keep him company. If that’s not enough to make your inner fanboy scream with glee, how about a ghostly Jabba the Hutt-themed treasure box, brimming with Beskar-chocolate bars, all tucked neatly in a Halloween-themed package?
A Closer Look at the Halloween Edition Clone Trooper
These figures echo the Clone Wars and are a treat for kids and collectors alike. The Halloween Edition Clone Trooper, part of the Star Wars Black Series, boasts a skeleton-esque deco and comes with a vampiric Porg, blending Star Wars saga with Halloween horror.
The vampiric Porg isn’t the only one accessorizing for the season. Each figure in the series includes a unique Halloween-inspired accessory set, featuring a Jabba the Hutt ghost chest packed with what we imagine are Beskar-wrapped chocolate bars (not for consumption, obviously).
Pre-Order Now
For all you Star Wars fanatics, reservations for the Halloween Edition Clone Trooper are live. The pre-order price is a reasonable $24.99, preparing for take-off in September 2024. And while you’re at it, maybe throw in a couple for your fellow Jedi. Halloween just got a whole lot spookier around Cloud City – and we’re not complaining.
Final Thoughts
Here’s to celebrating the season in galactic style, and an undead toast to Hasbro for this macabre mashup. The Halloween Edition Clone Trooper, with its vampire Porg and ghostly Jabba treasure chest, lets Star Wars fans celebrate the season by collecting the most ghastly action figures this side of Tatooine. This Halloween, may the spooky be with you.
