Brief Prop and Costume History
Created for The Empire Strikes Back the Imperial Snowtroopers were
created by Ralph McQuarrie, Joe Johnston and John Mollo. Two different
versions existed, the standard Snowtrooper and its Commander - a slightly
more refined version of the standard trooper.
The Imperial Snowtrooper was the Empire's enhanced combat armour for
cold-weather combat, with George Lucas's vision of them as a more advanced,
and climate specific version of the standard Stormtroopers
Replicas:
Over the years a number of unlicensed producers have delivered some really excellent
Snowtrooper helmets - with RS PropMasters now producing something that
almost indistinguishable form the original screen-used helmets. There's been
a few other fan-made
providers of helmets and armor over the years including such as
MonCal (the forerunner of the Anovos) and Italy's
SSProps another
fine example. However official/licensed Snowtroopers were almost unheard of
until recently (2017) when Anovos stepped into the frame with the full
costume.
