The announcement of a new Snowtrooper had a lot of fans excited, and Commtech Stormtrooper-styled articulation and a much more detailed sculpt was what many were hoping for. But what most fans didn't expect was that Hasbro chose not to do any ordinary old Snowtrooper, but a Snowtrooper Commander. Here's a quick run-down of the differences between a normal Snowtrooper and a Snowtrooper Commander: The Commander has a rank badge on his chest plate, a holstered sidearm (apparently a blaster pistol), has upside-down shoulder armor, wears what appears to be Stormtrooper forearm armor with cuffed gloves over it, wears a different style of boots, does not wear a backpack, does not have the two large pouches at his waist and wears a slightly different helmet (there are two small silver disks on each side of the helmet). To see actual photos of the Snowtrooper Commander and compare them to the regular Snowtrooper, check out The Snowtrooper Resource Center. So now that you have a better idea of where Hasbro started with this figure, read on for the review and 13 photos!
