[QUOTE="Mr-shifter, post: 451863, member: 4949"] What I am assuming happened here, although I don't know without checking, is that the at st driver wax sculpt was altered slightly, given a new head and used to make the imperial gunner. It happened quite a lot in the vintage figure range, which is why certain wax sculpts do not exist. The stormtrooper for example, is gone forever. Research indicates it was simply remoulded into the hoth trooper. Lazy sculpting but easier and cheaper than starting from scratch. Han hoth from Han is another. Here is some further reading. Not sure if the IG and ATST sculpts exist or where they are. http://blog.theswca.com/2016/02/do-overs-repurposed-action-figure.html [/QUOTE]
