Heritage Star Trek #1631 - Klingon Stormtroopers

Heritage Star Trek 1631 - Klingon StormtroopersManufacturer: Heritage Models, Inc.

Set #: 1631 - Klingon Stormtroopers

Scale: 25mm

Year: 1978

MSRP: $2.95

Notes:

- As noted previously, Paramount did not approve these designs so very few actually made it to shelves.

- The design is best described as "Darth Vader meets Stormtrooper"

- Intended to be released as 6 figures with three poses: rifle, bazooka, pointing. Actual assortment unknown. No labels or copyright notice on bottom.

- No picture of the original package available. I purchased these loose from Michael Thomas who owns the molds and rights, and is best known for running Disciples of Heritage and Classic Miniatures. These are new casts that he makes available as either Klingon Assault Team in his eBay store, or as Imperial Legionnaires (#2018) for the Galacta 25 line he is reviving. As a result of new materials and technique, these are the best looking casts of the entire Heritage Star Trek line.
