Medicom has come out with the ultimate in Star Wars geek merch. The Blue Stars trooper comes out this month as a Kubrick. If you responded with silent shock or tears of joy, then you already know what this means. To everyone else, the Blue Stars Trooper was an odd Turkish bootleg based on the Hoth Stormtrooper and is EXTREMELY rare to see. Never ones to just appeal to the masses (would anyone else except uber-geeks care about a Yakface or Blue Snaggletooth figure?) Medicom has really outdone themselves with this figure. To me, it’s not just that it’s an odd repaint, but more the fact that Medicom has gone the distance with making insanely obscure characters. This is truly a moment to be remembered.
