The latest addition to Hasbro’s STAR WARS The Vintage Collection is the fan-favourite droid C1-10P, better known as Chopper, now available in his Imperial Disguise from Star Wars: Rebels. As both a practical piece for fans who adore collecting STAR WARS TVC figures and an exciting nod to one of Rebels’ most iconic troublemakers, this Chopper figure delivers on a surprising mix of detail, nostalgia, and fun. Here’s a look at why the STAR WARS TVC Chopper (Imperial Disguise) has so many fans buzzing.

Chopper (Imperial Disguise): A Fitting Tribute to the Rebellion’s Favourite Droid

STAR WARS The Vintage Collection Chopper Imperial Disguise figure

From the character’s rough-and-ready design to the impeccable articulation, Hasbro’s rendition of Chopper in his Imperial Disguise is truly one for the collection shelf. This 3.75-inch figure captures Chopper’s mix of scrappy charm and mischievous personality, right down to the weathered details and unique parts that set him apart. As with all figures in the Vintage Collection, he comes in the retro-inspired cardback packaging that feels like an authentic throwback. From the photos, it’s clear that Hasbro has gone all in to ensure that the detailing lives up to the high standards of today’s collectors while maintaining the classic feel we all know and love.

Highlights: Authentic Details and Accessories

This version of Chopper includes his removable Imperial antenna

One of the top highlights of this STAR WARS TVG Chopper (Imperial Disguise) figure is the highly accurate sculpt. The attention to detail in his Imperial disguise elements is remarkable, with careful paintwork that brings out his grimy, well-loved look. This version of Chopper includes his removable Imperial antenna, a fun nod to his role as a master of deception within the Empire’s ranks. The figure also features great articulation points, allowing collectors to pose him in classic Chopper-style (imagine him rolling off, ready to explode something!). He’ll be a fantastic companion on display next to characters like The Vintage Collection Obi-Wan Kenobi, bringing more depth to any Rebels-themed setup.

The Story Behind Chopper’s Imperial Disguise

During his time with the Ghost crew in Star Wars Rebels

This isn’t just any Chopper figure – it’s a specific nod to his heroic undercover work. During his time with the Ghost crew in Star Wars: Rebels, Chopper regularly posed as an Imperial droid, blending in with the Empire to collect valuable intel or assist with daring escapes. This Imperial disguise – which he adopted while still carrying his characteristic scrappy charm – reminds fans of his essential role in the Rebel Alliance. Originally a Clone Wars-era droid, Chopper went from a battlefield survivor to a key asset within the Rebellion, proving that even the smallest droids can make a big impact. For those of us who grew up with the mischievous little guy, this figure captures not only his look but his personality, celebrating one of the most loyal and determined droids in the Star Wars universe.

How Does He Fit with Other New STAR WARS TVC Releases?

Chopper in his Imperial Disguise is a must-have for anyone with a soft spot for STAR WARS TVC figures or a growing Rebels collection. Displayed alongside other recent releases like LEGO Star Wars Jabba’s Sail Barge, this figure brings a touch of humour, history, and intrigue to any collection. His quirky design and Rebel heart add dimension to even the most classic setups, and for new collectors, he’s an easy entry into the world of Star Wars nostalgia.

Why Chopper’s Unique Look Stands Out

Chopper in a way thats faithful to his Rebels persona

Hasbro has pulled off an impressive feat by recreating Chopper in a way that’s faithful to his Rebels persona. This version of Chopper isn’t your typical shiny, streamlined droid. He’s a bit beaten up, his parts are mismatched, and he has an overall “lived-in” feel – and that’s exactly what makes him charming. The dirtied paintwork and wonky design capture his “I don’t play by the rules” attitude perfectly, making him a standout figure in the latest toy news from Hasbro. Whether you’re a fan of droids or a Rebels enthusiast, Chopper (Imperial Disguise) will likely be a beloved addition to your collection.
