This Star Wars: The Vintage Collection figure brings the specialized technicians of the Imperial Navy to the 3.75-inch line. Based on their appearance in A New Hope, these gunners are responsible for manning the massive turbo-laser batteries and the superlaser of the Death Star. This release was part of a Walmart-exclusive wave that celebrates the classic 1980s Kenner aesthetic while utilizing modern sculpting techniques.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Character Likeness: The figure features the iconic wrap-around helmet design with a large, tinted visor intended to protect the gunner from the intense flashes of heavy weaponry. The Imperial cog insignias are applied with high-contrast precision on both sides of the helmet.
- Attire: Clad in the standard-issue black flight suit of the Imperial Navy, the sculpt includes a detailed chest-mounted life support box and specialized ribbed detailing on the shoulder pads. The matte black finish of the suit contrasts effectively with the high-gloss polish of the helmet.
- Articulation: Built on a high-mobility technician buck, the figure offers excellent range in the elbows and knees. The ball-jointed torso and neck are specifically designed to allow the gunner to be posed realistically at a terminal or leaning into a weapon's targeting system.
- Display Utility: As a fundamental component of the Imperial military machine, this figure is a premier army builder. He is essential for any Death Star-themed diorama, providing technical support to Grand Moff Tarkin or standing guard at the controls of a 3.75-scale laser cannon.
Accessories & Equipment
He is equipped with a standard DH-17 blaster pistol for defensive combat. The holster is integrated into the belt assembly, allowing for a flush fit when the weapon is stowed. The figure also features a removable communication headset that can be placed over the helmet for high-intensity battle coordination.
