figures released with wrong weapons or none at all.......

Rebel Soldier: what he doing with a piddly little Bespin blaster?

Prune Face is the weirdest but that's the production teams fault for no bothering to mod his mauser rifle.


Amanaman nails it for best looking accessory #justsaying

Hoth Stormtrooper wasn't seen on screen with that huge blaster, only the Stormtrooper E-11.

My 45b HST is doubly wrong then as he was packaged with two huge blasters!

What's stranger is that as a Kid, my Imperial Dignitary came with a Jabba's Palace blaster. Not only did he not have a gun in the film, the figure couldn't even hold a weapon!! :?

 

[Pomse2001]

Great thread guys.

Could also have been cool to see some stormtroopers with a rifle.

Solo bespin, should he also not have had a rebel blaster :?

cheers lars, i thought it might spark some debate



your right about han here he is in bespin outfit and your right hes holding a rebel blaster

Never seen that picture before :lol:

A great thread guys
I'm glad that the TFP has a weapon, and the A-Wing, B-Wing, Nien Nunb and CCP. All pilots/aircrew will need a small side arm secured in a holster for when it all goes tits up. You may have the luxury of a medium size blaster rifle in the cockpit but it would have to be totally secured in a rack. Lando General has a larger pistol but hey, he is the General. The AT AT Drivers are cool with a large blaster as they will have them behind them in their large cockpit. Which leads on to the AT ST Driver, it makes sense that they have blasters as they were more susceptible to ending up on the ground, they probably had stubbie rifle/blasters in their small cockpit.
The Imperial Gunners may have a small blaster as they are in an office job and are sat down all day at a computer, military folk in that kind of workplace will have a small side arm with a larger weapon stored in a rack nearby.

Maybe Leia came with her Princess blaster cus she had it discreetly stored on her person :wink: ?

PS I am aware that these are just films and none of this actually happened :lol:

Luke needs a lightsaber in Hoth and Endor, such a shame he didn't.
I always wanted the Emperor to have attachable lightning bolts.

The kick ass huge gun they gave Zuckuss is interesting, would of been cheaper and more accurate to give him a Dengar/Snowtrooper rifle but no, they created a new weapon unique to him and unlike anything seen in the film.
But, kids love big guns and fair play Kenner for giving us something different.

This is a fascinating thread. Love it.

Zuckuss' gun/rifle is movie accurate looking at by MOC Zuckuss the picture of him on the cardback with the weapon is the same weapon Kenner/Palitoy gave the figure, so it is like it is in the film or am I missing something :?

Jez - me too I wanted the Emperor to have lighting bolts and also a dark and menacing huge hooded cloth cloak. I thought they held him back from the original release of the ROTJ figures as they were going to do something really quite special with that figure along the lines of Jedi Knight Luke and ERG. But no when he was finally released (first as a special 'get the leader free' offer here in the UK') what a let down - an old man with flares and a walking stick!

Some of my fave weapons are - Jawa Blaster, Bossk's gun and the good old Stormtrooper Imperial Blaster.

 

[Pomse2001]

Solo Hoth with lightsaber could have been cool

 

[Stormtrooper37]

Solo Hoth with lightsaber could have been cool

It would have been even cooler if they packaged an exclusive Han Hoth figure with the open bellied Taun Taun and gave him a blue lightsaber 8)

Then again maybe not another vintage variant - sky high price and repro sabers galore :lol:

 

[Section 8]

Bossk, Zuckuss & 4 Lom are fairly accurate, except for maybe the magazine on Zuckuss's. Fetts is way off.

 

[phreatobite]

Skiff guards should have come with these:

Yes boba's rifle is not an imperial blaster, so it is not the correct weapon.

Could have been cool with the big blaster Gun, but also the palace blaster :lol:
