Ashoka Tano was given her own series Disney+ and brings back characters from Star Wars Rebels, which is a live-action show compared to the animated series. The previous season continued the Star Wars Rebels storyline, which brought back all the main characters, including supporting characters such as Grand Admiral Thrawn, and you learned what happened to him and Ezra Bridger after the Star Wars Rebels series finale. This set includes Thrawn’s personal army, including Captain Enoch, and three Night Troopers as seen in the Ahsoka series, all given unique appearances and designs. This is also one of Hasbro’s better multipacks in years, and there is enough newness here in sculpting and characters that should make most fans happy.
Thank you to BigBadToyStore for sending along Hasbro’s Star Wars The Vintage Collection Captain Enoch & Thrawn’s Night Troopers for review.
Availability: July 2024
Captain Enoch and Thrawn’s Night Troopers are packaged in a mailer box with artwork and images of the figures, and several logo’s including Hasbro, The Vintage Collection and Star Wars. Inside, they are packaged in baggies to protect the plastic, and a cardboard divider.
Captain Enoch and Thrawn’s Night Troopers are inspired from their appearance in the Ahsoka series, and this is one of the more interesting multipacks that Hasbro released in quite some time. This is an army builder set for sure, and the first troopers we’ve gotten from this series. Each character has their own unique tooling and details on their armor that make them all unique, as opposed to the standard white Stormtroopers. These figures are not colorful like the Clone Troopers in The Clone Wars, which had their own unique colors to represent which battalion they were part of. Instead, these have red markings and gold deco on their armor, with Captain Enoch being the most different as he in in charge of the troops.
Each figure uses the base of The Vintage Collection Stormtrooper (VC231), and the Star Wars team have given each figure some retooling so capture their own unique design. Captain Enoch uses the most new tooling, and he is given a new portrait, torso, and a new belt and skirt, with the skirt featuring a holster for his blaster. Captain Enoch is painted in metallic gold, maroon, gray, and black. He, like the rest of the troopers in this set are also given gold paint on their armor that looks like cracks and dents, which gives them definition. Captain Enoch is also given a newly tooled blaster, which is in black with some gold deco.
The three Night Troopers, with each given new tooling with their own unique maroon wrappings throughout the armor, including the torso, arms and legs. These figures are not the same action figure, but three separate designs on the armor that makes each look like a different character. The paint applications on them are also unique, including the deco on the helmets, with two of them having grey and gold on the helmet, and the other mostly a white helmet with gold deco. In addition to the differences on the helmets, two of the figures have the maroon wrappings on their chests, arms and legs, while the other one only has the wrappings on his arms and legs. Each of these troopers also come with the same blaster.
The articulation for all four figures are the same, and includes a ball jointed head and neck, swivel-hinged shoulders, swivel-hinged elbows, swivel-hinged wrists, ball jointed torso, ball jointed hips, swivel thighs, swivel-hinged knees, hinged and rocker ankles.
Overall, this is a great set and there is enough new tooling here that should make fans happy even though the base is previously seen, and the new tooling and deco applied to these figures creates four new characters that you’re definitely going to want to display with your Grand Admiral Thrawn figure. This set is also reasonable priced at $54.99 for the set, as opposed to buying four figures individually at $16.99 – $17.99. Make sure to grab this set while you can, and head on over to BigBadToyStore.
