Stormtrooper 4-up Hardcopy Paint Master (460-015)
Showcased here is a painted Stormtrooper 4-up. This action oriented pose is designated by the number 460-015. The first three digits represent the Bespin Freeze Chamber playset, while the last three indicate the particular character/pose. A 1:1 unpainted micro was included in the above pictures to give a sense of the immense size of the 4-up paintmaster compared to the production toy's size. 4-ups certainly are a display oriented prototype since their large size makes them very visually appealing when present in a collection.

Lastly, if seeing one micro collection stormtrooper 4-up isn't enough, have a look at John's incredible series shown above featuring a paintmaster for every stormtrooper pose produced!
