Created from the original mouldings of a Stormtrooper used in the production of the first Star Wars movie ‘A New Hope’. This is the most authentic and accurate replica ANH Stormtrooper and Sandtrooper available in the galaxy.
Lineage and Accuracy
The bedrock of what we do, we are the only armour makers with original Star Wars ‘A New Hope’ armour made directly from a production made suit. Every detail from the iconic Stormtrooper has been carefully captured and assembled to create a near perfect Screen Stormtrooper replica. We broke new ground when we first introduced this armour almost fifteen years ago. Often imitated, proud to still be the original and best.
Professional Custom built
This is not mass-produced collectable, it’s a hand-made prop re-created by our specialist prop makers in the same style and importantly spirit as the originals seen on screen. Using the same methods and techniques as they utilised over forty five years ago.
Authenticity
Brian Muir sculpted the original Stormtrooper armour in the summer of 1976. He personally authenticates each individual Stormtrooper replica armour we create with a signed display plaque.

About the Stormtrooper & Sandtrooper
From the minds of George Lucas and Ralph McQuarrie (Concept Artist), the original Stormtrooper character was bought to life by John Barry (Production Designer), John Mollo (Wardrobe Designer) Bob Walker (Graphic Artist) and sculptors Brian Muir (armour) and Liz Moore (helmet).
Fifty sets of armour were made for the film. Six were designated Sandtroopers and sent to Tunisia for filming. These were the first Stormtroopers created. The traditional Stormtrooper were modified with the inclusion of some parts missing from the Sandtroopers. Surviving sets of armour used for “A New Hope” would later go on to be reconditioned and reused for “The Empire Strikes back”.
Here at RS Prop Masters we are the only prop makers with original Star Wars “A New Hope” armour which is probably why you are here, as only we can faithfully and painstakingly recreate every detail of the original Stormtrooper suit.
