Meet the Empire’s Frostiest Enforcer
If the Empire had a fashion week, the Range Trooper would absolutely be the one turning heads on the runway – stomping about with confidence in his fur-lined coat and magnetic boots. Forget Sith robes or Mandalorian armour; these guys bring the winter vibes with serious attitude.

First introduced in Solo: A Star Wars Story, Range Troopers are the Empire’s answer to “Hey, what if our soldiers didn’t freeze solid while guarding icy outposts?” Built for harsh, unforgiving environments, these heavily armoured troopers come equipped with insulated gear, magnetic boots (because gravity is apparently optional when you’re this cool), and just the right amount of menacing presence.

Fast forward to Andor Season 2, and our frosty friends are back — grittier, moodier, and ready to march through whatever miserable weather the Rebellion throws at them. Naturally, the Star Wars Andor Range Trooper Hot Toys exclusive figure captures this look perfectly, delivering a collectible that’s as imposing as it is beautifully detailed.
Hot Toys Andor Range Trooper – Features, Sculpt Details, and Accessories
Standing at a solid 31 cm tall, the Hot Toys Andor Range Trooper 1/6 scale figure comes fully loaded with over 30 points of articulation — because who says bulky boys can’t be flexible?

The sculpt detail here is impressive. The armour sports a grimy, weathered finish (no shiny showroom troopers here), with dirt and scuffs that tell the story of a life spent in the trenches, not at an Imperial spa day. The faux fur-lined coat feels like the perfect touch, adding to the character’s silhouette and making the figure pop on display.

Accessories-wise, you’re getting the essentials to kit out your trooper for full-on battle mode:
- Standard issue blaster rifle
- Rocket launcher (because subtlety is overrated)
- Six pairs of interchangeable gloved hands
- And the pièce de résistance — exclusive Gription Boots included with the First Edition, perfect for striking some daring action poses without worrying about your trooper taking an unscheduled nosedive off the shelf
What Makes the Hot Toys Range Trooper from Andor Different from Solo or Mandalorian Versions?
At first glance, you might think, “Hey, I’ve seen these guys before in Solo!” And you’d be right — but the devil’s in the details.

The Hot Toys Andor Range Trooper shows off a moodier, battle-worn look, with subtle changes in the armour’s design and weathering that reflect the darker tone of Andor. This version leans into the gritty realism of the series, while the added rocket launcher and Gription Boots (exclusive to this release) help set it apart from previous incarnations.
If you’re already collecting other Hot Toys Star Wars figures like the Hot Toys Cassian Andor Rogue One or the Black Series Range Trooper and Jedha Patrol Trooper, this frosty fella will fit right in while still holding his own in the spotlight.
Range Trooper Andor Hot Toys Pre-Order & Release Date
The Range Trooper Andor Hot Toys pre-order is live now, with an expected release date around Q2 to Q3 of 2026. Yes, that’s a bit of a wait, but patience is a virtue — or at least that’s what I tell myself every time Hot Toys announces something this cool.

Considering the exclusive nature of this release and how quickly these figures tend to disappear into hyperspace, getting your pre-order sorted sooner rather than later is definitely the move.
Where to Buy Hot Toys Range Trooper 1/6 Scale Figure (Andor Version)
So, where can you snag one of these snowy soldiers? The safest bet is through authorised retailers like Sideshow Collectibles or your go-to local specialty toy shops. Remember — always check that you’re buying from a reliable source to avoid those bootleg nightmares. No one wants their trooper looking like he’s melting instead of menacing.
