This particular Saga Legends Sandtrooper action figure has several variants (the "clean" version with gray pauldron, the "dirty" version w/ gray/orange pauldron), and the newer variants which are kit-bashes of the Clone Trooper Evolutions set which comes with the blaster rifle with tan strap (and removable belt).
It has been quite some time since I've collected Star Wars action figures, and I must honestly say that these "Saga Legends" figures are incredibly detailed, almost comparable to their movie-counterparts!
The Sandtrooper comes with a backpack, pauldron (it is removable, if you pop off the Sandtrooper's head), staff, and thermal detonator (that can be attached to the back of the Sandtrooper's belt once the backpack is removed), 1x Imperial-Issue Blaster, and 1x Collector's coin.
Hasbro has improved upon the "dirty" marks on the Sandtrooper's armor, and yet there are small details which can hurt the figure's overall appearance (to some die-hard fans). For instance, if you remove the backpack, the Sandtrooper's back is so "clean" that it's absurd (How can you believe that this figure is a Sandtrooper, if his entire backside is clean?). Also if you examine his feet, they're very "clean" as well (Walking around in the Tatooine desert, and yet the Sandtrooper has time to shine his boots?).
The MAIN thing that slightly bothers me is the lack of the Sandtrooper's blaster rifle, which is prominently pictured on the backside of the Sandtrooper packaging. Also a little more accessories would've been nice such as binoculars, blaster rifle (mentioned above), and perhaps a base/stand for the figure to stand on.
Although these figures have always been marketed towards the younger crowd, with the amazing detailing and hip packaging, this is one thing a Star Wars collector CANNOT miss out on!
**One thing to note, this Sandtrooper figure is a kit-bash of the previous one from the Saga line (this is apparent when you look on back of the Sandtrooper's leg where it says "Hasbro 2005"**Get more detail about Star Wars Escape From Mos Eisley Sandtrooper Figure.
