Nothing says “season’s greetings” like a gun-toting stormtrooper with enormous fists.
A new series of clever advertising images transports the neo-retro Star Wars action figure known as the Stormtrooper Super Shogun back through the years to a Christmas a long time ago but not too far away.
“On that alternate Earth, kids actually were able to wake up on Dec. 25th and find the Stormtrooper Super Shogun waiting to be unwrapped under
In Super7’s Christmas-themed ad campaign, the 2-foot-tall toy — which is a mashup of classic Star Wars action figures and vintage Japanese Shogun Warriors robots — makes an appearance in a series of warm-and-fuzzy photos supplied by Star Wars fans. The images pack the same vintage vibe as the “lost” ’70s-style Stormtrooper Super Shogun TV commercial that Super7 produced earlier this year.
For the postcard series, photographer D. Martin Myatt, who also works at RebelScum.com, asked fans from the collectibles site to donate actual ’70s and ’80s photos of themselves holding Star Wars toys. (The names used on the cards are the names of people in the pictures.) With a little Photoshop magic, the Stormtrooper Super Shogun became a part of the memories.
