They were all plastic baggies.

They should call these Hotcake troopers because that's how they were selling on Saturday.  I was stationed next to the gentlemen who were selling these(and some other very cool Hong Kong goodies) and I'm pretty sure the only thing that sold in greater numbers may have been the exclusive Canadian JoeCon set.
This was a conversation I overheard about five different times between the sellers and different buyers:
"Do you have more of these?"
"How many do you want?"
"How many do you have?"
"How many do you want?"
and so on...

I had to ask a friend, who is far more Joe-savvy than I, what was so special about these particular loose troopers and he explained that they were really good bootlegs.  I ended up buying one just out of sheer curiosity.  The black ones were much more popular than the reds.  They must have run out of tan troopers early if they were selling that colour also.

$20 each.
At the end of the day you could get one red and one black for $30.


Looks like they're available on ebay.  May be the same seller:

They came in a little baggie either taped or stabled I bought two and traded for a bunch if anyone has a spare tan one let me know I didn't get that one. I wish they where cheaper so I could have army built them I think they look cool. I'm glade he brought them.
