Keep your novels, comics and collectables perfectly aligned with this humorous bookend featuring Star Wars Stormtroopers. Designed by Nemesis Now, this set features two Imperial soldiers in contrasting poses, ironically illustrating the English expression ‘Working Hard, Hardly Working’.
The first figurine depicts a Stormtrooper putting all his energy into pushing the books back: legs apart, body leaning forward and both hands firmly pressed against the stack. On the other side, his colleague adopts a much more relaxed posture, with his legs crossed and just one hand resting against the books, as if he were leaving most of the work to his partner.
Both soldiers wear their iconic black and white armour, reproduced with the characteristic details of the helmet, chest plate, belt and articulated armour plates. Each figure rests on a white rectangular base decorated with small technical reliefs evoking the corridors and facilities of the Empire.
Crafted from resin, this set combines storage functionality with decorative appeal. Standing 18.5 cm tall, it is ideal for displaying alongside a selection of novels, manga, comics, art books or video box sets on a bookcase, shelf or desk. The product weighs approximately 1.10 kg, providing sufficient stability to hold books securely.
Stormtroopers are the Galactic Empire’s assault troops. Recognisable by their standardised white armour, they are deployed aboard Imperial ships, in garrisons and on the various worlds under the authority of Emperor Palpatine.
They operate in particular under the command of Darth Vader to hunt down the Rebel Alliance and enforce Imperial order. Their uniform appearance symbolises the Empire’s military might, but also the subjugation of the individual in favour of a force entirely devoted to the regime.
The Original Stormtrooper range is associated with the armour designs created for the first Star Wars film. This bookend deliberately subverts their image as disciplined soldiers by creating a humorous little scene: one is clearly doing all the work whilst the other is content with offering minimal assistance, adding a quirky touch to this decoration inspired by the saga.
