Did anyone else know this...

Been meaning to post question this for a while...

Just before Christmas I was over at PalitoyJunky's place and I discovered, much to my shock, that Han Hoth's blaster actually fitted into his holster!!

Now I tried this as a kid as it seemed the obvious thing to do, but to no effect, so assumed this was not possible!!


And

Did you all know that the middle arm on some FX7s rotates (rather pointless in my opinion)?

 

[Grant]

Didn't know that Dude. Weird as Han Hoth was one of my child hood faves. Iv just learned something new for day. 8)

 

[currymonster6290]

yes I new both them but can you get a long arm and short arm fx7?
sure I recall this but not defo about it!

 

[Richard_H]

On the Kenner TV ad they feature the rotation for FX-7. Yeah, knew both.

 

[lejackal]

That Han Hoth mystery, is it the handle into a hole? Am I remembering correctly? Didn't know about FX7 but never had one.

Edit: And by handle I mean pistol grip

I found this out about a year ago on another thread. I mentioned that when I was a kid I always wanted to put Han Hoths gun in is holster but couldn't. Then someone pointed out you could!

The FX-7 thing, funnily enough me, Lee and Jimbo talked about this on Sunday on the way home from Donington. Pretty useless feature seeing as you could just turn the figure round.

Didn't know about the long/short arm thing. Is this a known variant then? Where's Stef...?

As for Han Hoth, again, knew about it from back in the day, a friend showed me how to push the blaster magazine into his holster clasp. Cool feature but was this intentional? I doubt it but you never know.

I used his holster as a kid and was one of the reasons he was my favourite.

I even display him like that

Depending on the factory there are thin and fat arms, but not sure about long/short?!?!

I knew both of those pearls of wisdom!! I display my Han like that with a back pack on too 8)

Here's a good one....anyone know what's written somewhere on the tree stump of the Dagobah playset?

[aussiejames]

This only just came up on an aussie FB group. One guy was convinced we were taking the piss about Han's holster :lol:

I've only heard about the three 'moulds' for FX7- not a long/short arm thing.

vs thin arm

different again- claws & head are different between the three as well

Did anyone else know that the Vehicle Maintenance Energizer is actually seen on-screen? I never knew until the big HD telly era.

Glad I wasn't the only who didn't know about this!!

Some play/display opportunities that my childhood was robbed of!! :?

I only knew the Fx7 one from the Kenner add I saw early 2000's, though not every Fx7 I've found seemed to have that rotation!

 

[itfciain]

The Han Hoth thing is pretty cool and occasionally when you buy a big lot then you find the weapon stuck there which is a nice bonus

Squidhead, Greedo and Luke X-wing are also good for keeping hold of their blasters

Here's one for people, did you know that the smugglers hatch actually fits onto catches under the part of the roof that can be removed

Now's that's something I didn't know. Still learning new stuff after all these years!

nothing specific Poncho, but this general update from 2012 shows most of them. I'll need to post something specific as there a few additions since then http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11918&hilit=han+hoth+limelight

 

[sith-smith]

Isn't the smugglers hatch thing pictured on the box or in the instructions?
