Your own Stormtrooper army

Translation: machine translated
Star Wars: Rogue One" tells the story of how the rebels obtained the plans for the Death Star. The losers are the Empire and the stormtroopers in particular. But if you have a soft spot for unsuccessful Stormtroopers, you can now buy yourself a small, almost life-size private army.
Maxi-figures for fans
However, the 108 units in Lucerne are not real people standing still in their armour despite the wind and weather, but Jakks Pacific's Maxi Action Figures.
However, a 121 cm tall Darth Vader is less plausible. But you can still have him, because someone has to lead the Stormtroopers.
Rogue One is coming
Despite the fame the Stormtroopers enjoy in the universe of the films and in our world, they have one flaw: they hit practically nothing. One hundred Stormtroopers vs. one Luke Skywalker and Skywalker emerges unscathed from the multi-hour battle. Their aim is slightly better in "The Force Awakens", as they hit at least one of their victims in the first scene of the film, but still, they have a heavy cross to bear.
Maybe, however, they will rise to fame in the new film, "Rogue One". The film, which takes place between Episodes III and IV - the first Star Wars film ever made - depicts the war in Star Wars. If we can believe the trailer, at least.
Okay, there may be one or two scenes in which two rebels defeat what feels like a million Stormtroopers without getting a scratch themselves. But hope dies last!
But still, we're looking forward to Rogue One! May the Force be with us!
