Clone Trooper (Halloween Edition) [The Black Series]

Star Wars has been a constant my entire life and directly to blame for all my interests. Thanks to being a small child during the original saga, it's also forever mentally linked to holidays. Halloween in this case specifically as my older brother wore a Gamorrean Guard mask at Halloween for several years. For whatever reason, he loved that mask. I actually held onto it for a very long time until it finally decomposed to a state that it had to be thrown away. That was a sad moment for me personally. Most people from certain age groups probably have strong memories of seeing Star Wars costumes while trick or treating. Star Wars was just everywhere back then and being one of the biggest properties on the planet has tons of merchandise, especially at holidays. So of course there's Halloween Edition figures every year! My wife always gets me the Droid Factory toy each year. Sometimes they even do a Black Series figure (there's always a Christmas one) at Halloween and she got me this super cool Clone Trooper a while back.

I've always had an affection for Storm Troopers/Clone Troopers. They're just so cool looking and it's awesome to see a group of them appear. Considering the variety of them, they're a good fit for a special Halloween themed armor. This one is a skeleton and freaking awesome looking. As you can see, the armor is completely black with a green skeleton painted on it. Simple, yet effective. Ever wonder why so many bullies on TV have black t-shirts with a skull? No, you don't. You already know how threatening that is. Imagine an army of this guy coming your way. We've all made the joke about how a Storm Trooper has terrible aim, but the good guys sure do take cover the minute they show up. The classic skeleton costume isn't the only bit of spooky fun that came in the package. There's an adorable Dracula Porg included. Adorably awesome. Adding the to fun is some Beskar painted like Hershey Bars. Somebody has been trick or treating in a rich neighborhood! There's also a black chest full of mystery treasure with a Jabba the Hut ghost painted on the inside... holy crap is that a Dybbuk Box from Tatooine? That's super cool and it can hold those candy bars so they don't get lost. One thing that really stood out to me, is that inside the box, the figure was wrapped in Halloween paper. It was such a small thing that made a big difference. This is a really cool Halloween Special Edition that I'll always hold in a special place. It's awesome.
