Exclusive Republic Commando Full-Color Hand-Painted Maquette




Last year, StarWarsShop offered an extremely limited quantity of bronze-finish maquettes inspired by the characters depicted in LucasArts' Star Wars Republic Commando video game. With only 400 produced worldwide, the short quantities offered were an instant sell-out.




Now, StarWarsShop is able to offer an exclusive colorized version of the hotly sought-after commando quartet, this time with a worldwide edition size of just 500! As with the bronze maquette, this piece was prototyped by the artisans at Gentle Giant Studios who were contracted to oversee the production of this official Lucasfilm piece. Their work included the stunning new paint master for this exclusive StarWarsShop offering.




Measuring a robust 7.5 inches tall, this hefty sculpture features four Republic Commandos poised for battle, each sporting armor and artillery that has been realistically rendered in full-color. Visual details that were not possible in the bronze-colored version -- scars, scorch marks, muddied armor, and the ubiquitous "1138" -- are effectively captured in this version, lending each soldier a new measure of individuality (can you identify Scorch, Boss, Fixer, and Sev?).




The sculpture's unique configuration conveniently allows for viewing from all angles, making this an exceptionally cool item for display. Remember, there are only 500 of these stunning painted editions available.






  • Inspired by the LucasArts video game Republic Commando


  • Edition Size of 500 pieces worldwide


  • Sculpted by the artisans of Gentle Giant Studios


  • Measures approximately 7.5" tall


12-Inch Real Action Hero Shadow Stormtrooper




Shadow Stormtrooper. Borne from an obscure reference in an old 1979 Star Wars comic strip, these dark agents of the Empire, also known as Blackhole Troopers, have taken on a quasi-cult following among collectors in recent years. The cool, sinister reverse color scheme might have something to do with this, but its limited availability as an exclusive has also made it an elusive prize -- Gentle Giant's recent Shadow Stormtrooper Mini-Bust was an instant sell-out, while StarWarsShop's exclusive Bust-Up and Hasbro action figure were also quickly snatched up by collectors.




StarWarsShop continues the tradition of the Shadow Stormtrooper exclusive by offering the first large-scale full-figured version of the evasive stealth soldier from Japan's Medicom company. As the latest Star Wars release in their fully-articulated Real Action Heroes line, the Shadow Stormtrooper will only be officially available in the U.S. through StarWarsShop, and quantities are limited. This will be a one-time import just for StarWarsShoppers, so be sure to grab yours before the enigmatic dark trooper recedes once more into the shadows.

12-Inch Real Action Hero Shock Trooper




An all-new addition to Medicom's popular Real Action Heroes 12-Inch line is here, and it's a StarWarsShop exclusive!


The shock troopers of Episode III are among the most recognized soldiers of the saga -- not surprising, given their scarlet red armor deco and signature helmet striping. Serving as Palpatine's personal guard both on Coruscant and offworld, shock troopers are seen searching for Yoda following his battle with Palpatine in the Galactic Senate chamber. They also accompany the Emperor on Mustafar to retrieve the scorched body of his new apprentice.


The Real Action Hero Shock Trooper is the first of the RAH clone trooper series to launch this year. There are only 1,000 of the exclusive shock troopers available worldwide.
