The 2019 Star Wars The Black Series Wedge Antilles (#102) brings one of the Rebellion’s most legendary pilots into the 6‑inch line with a sculpt that faithfully recreates his A New Hope appearance. Wedge is a cornerstone of Red Squadron and later Rogue Squadron, and this figure captures him during the Yavin IV briefing and Death Star trench run.
Released as part of Wave 28, Wedge uses the updated X‑Wing pilot body with new deco and a strong Denis Lawson portrait. The orange flight suit features crisp paneling, a detailed chest box, and accurate harness straps. The helmet includes Wedge’s distinctive green markings and Rebel insignia.
The included DL‑44 blaster and X‑Wing helmet complete the classic pilot loadout.
