I have the super-rare "yellow" Stormtrooper variant. Not only is he completely yellow, the black paint is largely missing and he has extra swively (loose) limbs. Plus, he comes with factory-original dirt caked into all the crevices of his helmet. I bet I could get a lot for it on eBay. (that was sarcasm)

It’s because ReAction Super7 has been doing a lot of action figures of popular movies, TV shows, cartoons, rockstars, and horror icons that are designed like old Star Wars 12-back style such as Karate Kid, Big Trouble in Little Chinatown, Breaking Bad, Transformers G1, Voltron, TMNT, KISS, and Universal Studios Monsters. It’s becoming popular among collectors. That’s why Hasbro has been releasing retro original 12-back Star Wars toys. They’re also styling The Mandolorian figures in retro 12-back style.
