C1-10P Chopper — Star Wars The Black Series #REB 02
The Black Series C1-10P Chopper — Phase 4 Rebels Collection #02, 2020. The Ghost's cantankerous astromech droid with 13 joints and 4 accessories. Fan Channel exclusive $19.99. The Rebels Collection's most unique figure.
Overview
C1-10P Chopper at #REB 02 is the Rebels Collection’s most mechanically specific figure — the Ghost crew’s astromech droid in the C1 series configuration, with the specific squat, three-legged body design and the personality that made him one of the most beloved droids in the franchise. 13 joints with a droid-specific scheme that includes a retractable middle leg and pull-out booster rocket. 4 accessories. Fan Channel exclusive. $19.99. 2020.
Chopper and the Ghost Crew
Chopper is not a well-behaved droid. Where R2-D2 is loyal and capable and occasionally reckless, Chopper is cantankerous, selfish, and loyal on his own terms — the astromech who will absolutely let a Stormtrooper fall out of an airlock if it amuses him, who contributes to the crew’s survival because he chooses to rather than because it’s his function. Rebels used Chopper’s specific personality to do something the original trilogy droids couldn’t do: be genuinely funny while also being genuinely essential.
The figure communicates the character through design before the display card is read. The squat, off-kilter C1 body, the asymmetric arm arrangement, the specific orange-and-white colour scheme — this is Chopper, immediately.
13 Joints: The Droid-Specific Scheme
Chopper’s 13-joint count covers a distribution completely unlike any humanoid figure: the rotating dome, the three pull-out arms (two in the dome, one in the front body), the ball-jointed elbows in the dome arms, the swivel legs and ankles, the retractable middle leg, and the pull-out booster rocket. The joint scheme is built for the C1 body’s specific mechanics rather than adapted from the standard humanoid distribution. This makes every pose a droid pose, communicating Chopper’s specific movement vocabulary.
Four Accessories Including Booster Rocket
The four accessories extend the playability of the droid-specific joint scheme: the extra leg, the booster rocket, and two additional pieces that complete the Ghost’s astromech in operational configuration. Verify all four on secondary market purchases.
The Ghost’s Astromech
Chopper alongside Hera (#REB 05) creates the Ghost’s command pair — the pilot and the droid who keeps the ship flying, whose bickering relationship is the Ghost’s background hum. Both Fan Channel exclusives. Both essential for the complete Ghost crew display. Both at $19.99 standard Fan Channel pricing.
Secondary Market
Above-retail secondary market prices. Fan Channel exclusive 2020. Verify all four accessories. No production variants documented.
Our Verdict
Chopper at #REB 02 is the Rebels Collection’s most mechanically inventive figure — the droid-specific joint scheme, the four accessories, the personality that made an astromech genuinely funny. Fan Channel exclusive at $19.99. Buy him. The Ghost doesn’t fly without Chopper, and the Rebels Collection doesn’t cohere without this figure.
Chopper’s Personality at 6-Inch Scale
The challenge of rendering Chopper in Phase 4 plastic is not the technical joint scheme — it is the personality. Chopper’s specific cantankerous character is communicated through his movement vocabulary in animation: the specific way he tilts when he’s unimpressed, the particular arrangement of his arms when he’s reluctantly complying, the full-commitment enthusiasm he shows when something pleases him. The 13-joint droid scheme does everything it can to enable those poses at 6-inch scale.
The booster rocket accessory is the Chopper detail that most communicates his specific operational capability — the astromech who can fly short distances, who uses his rocket to reach places standard astromechs couldn’t. It is also the most visually memorable of his accessories.
Chopper and the Ghost Crew Display
Chopper is the only non-humanoid core Ghost crew member, which gives him a specific visual role in any complete crew display: the droid at Hera’s feet or rolling alongside the formation creates the Ghost’s character immediately. Five Ghost crew figures without Chopper is four humans and a Lasat. Five Ghost crew figures with Chopper is the Ghost crew. Buy him. He is essential.
Chopper at $19.99 Fan Channel is the Ghost crew’s most irreplaceable character in the most inventive figure the Rebels Collection produces. The droid-specific 13-joint scheme, the booster rocket, the cantankerous personality that the design communicates before the display card is read. Buy him. The Ghost doesn’t fly without Chopper.
The 13-joint droid scheme communicates Chopper’s specific mechanical nature in a way that no amount of paint or sculpt detail alone could — the joint distribution itself says this is a C1 astromech, not a standard R2 variant. The Ghost crew display is incomplete without the droid rolling at Hera’s side. Buy Chopper. Buy all five. The Ghost crew needs its astromech.
Chopper is the Ghost crew’s personality problem and most essential asset in equal measure. The 13-joint droid scheme at Fan Channel pricing is the Phase 4 system doing right by one of the franchise’s best non-standard droids. Buy him.
The Rebels Collection’s Ghost crew at five figures has Chopper as its most mechanically inventive member — the droid-specific joint scheme, the retractable middle leg, the booster rocket that communicates his specific operational capability. None of the other four figures have a joint distribution like his. Buy Chopper and the display is immediately distinguishable from any other animated crew assembly.
The Ghost crew’s cantankerous astromech at Fan Channel exclusive pricing. The droid-specific joint scheme. The booster rocket that communicates Chopper’s specific operational independence. He is not a helpful droid. He is a useful one, which is a meaningful distinction in a crew that needs everything it can get. Buy him. Buy all five. The Ghost crew without Chopper is four people and a Lasat missing their droid.
The Ghost crew’s droid, in Phase 4 plastic, with the joint scheme that communicates his C1 body and the accessories that communicate his specific operational independence. Chopper is irreplaceable in the display for the same reason he’s irreplaceable on the Ghost: because no one else is quite like him, and the crew wouldn’t be the crew without him.
Buy Chopper. The Ghost needs its droid.
The Ghost crew’s droid. Irreplaceable on the ship. Irreplaceable in the display. Buy Chopper.
The Ghost without Chopper is a ship missing its personality. The Rebels Collection without Chopper is a crew missing its droid. Buy him.
Buy Chopper. All five. The Ghost crew assembled.
