Stormtrooper 4-up Hardcopy Paint Master (583-022)
Showcased here is a painted Stormtrooper 4-up. This action oriented pose is designated by the number 583-022. The first three digits represent the Death Star Escape playset, while the last three indicate the particular character/pose.

Here we see a rear view of the 4-up. 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. Thanks to fellow editor, John Wooten, for sharing this and other stormtrooper micro prototypes from his collection!
