The elite artillery experts of the Galactic Empire, the Death Star Gunner (also known as the Imperial Gunner), joined The Vintage Collection in 2019 as part of Wave 22. This figure represents the specialized crew members responsible for operating the devastating superlaser of the DS-1 Orbital Battle Station as seen in A New Hope. With their iconic large-visored helmets and sleek black jumpsuits, they remain one of the most visually distinct technical branches of the Imperial military.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Helmet: The standout feature is the oversized blast-shield helmet, which is sculpted with a high-gloss black finish to distinguish it from the matte jumpsuit. The helmet's wrap-around visor is accurately rendered, reflecting the specialized eye protection needed to operate heavy turbolasers.
• Attire & Deco: The figure is clad in a utilitarian black technician's jumpsuit. The sculpt captures the various pockets, straps, and specialized life-support chest box with remarkable precision. The Imperial cogs on the shoulders are applied with sharp, contrasting white paint.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, the Gunner includes rocker ankles and ball-jointed wrists. The slim sculpt of the limbs allows for a wide range of motion, enabling the figure to sit naturally at a console or stand at rigid attention during a royal inspection.
• Display Utility: This figure is a "technical" essential for any Death Star interior diorama. He is designed to be paired with Grand Moff Tarkin or Darth Vader, or positioned behind a heavy laser cannon to recreate the "Commence primary ignition" sequence.

Accessories & Equipment

The Death Star Gunner comes equipped with a DH-17 blaster pistol. While their primary role is technical, these crew members are trained for shipboard defense. The blaster is molded in a dark metallic grey and fits securely into the functional holster located on the right hip of the utility belt.
