Toy of the week 2, Week 1, 2024, Imperial Gunner

[Pomse2001]

Love this figure, was the first ever carded figure I bought when I started collecting as an adult

The same here, I also love this figure. Do you still have that moc ? You are welcome to share it with us

 

[Pomse2001]

It is packed with the correct blaster for this figure.

awesome thanks for the info

Here are my collection of Imperial gunners. Only a little bit have changed since the last time we did toy of the week, I got 2 more cardbacks from danish childhood lots and then I have also checked my black blasters and learned that I only have 2 imperial gunner blasters after I have checked the variants of my blasters I had hoped I could add some more black blasters from my a-wing pilots but funny they were all added with the correct blasters So now I only need 14 black imperial Gunner blasters I am sure that I will never get them all and there are for sure much better things I would love to add to my collection than use my money on more expensive black blasters.

Here are my Tri-logo Imperial Gunner moc.

Tri-logo cardback with danish price sticker on it from the danish toy stores BR. The Price Sticker are called on english Star Offer, that is why the sticker looks like a star. This price sticker was only used in all BR toy stores in the christmas of 1985.

Another Tri-logo cardback I got that from a danish childhood collection.

My POTF cardback

My Imperial gunner potf coin.

and my 16 imperial gunners and 2 imperial gunner blasters. But then again what do they need a blaster for when they fire with a death star gun

Excellent stuff Lars!... And I agree, there are better things to spend your money on than buying 14 black blasters!

 

[Pomse2001]

Brilliant collection Lars

thanks for the kind words

Thanks for the kind words. Yes there are for sure better things to spend money on. I was also not planning to get so many of them in the beginning. But 15 out of 16 comes from lots that I have bought and I thought why not keep them and army build on them when I find them in lots. But as you can see most of the time the blaster was missing in the lots.

About the tri-logo cardbacks. All 3 tri-logo look the same to me. Do you know about if there are any tri-logo imperial gunner cardback variants ? or are there only this one ? I have read something about that there could be some with diffrent bubbles. But are there any with diffrent punch holes or harder or less harder coardboard ? or do you only know about the variant I have ?

12 members have voted so far, thanks guys for the support. Let me know if the poll could be better ?

Kenner made the figure cooler than the on-screen character by adding a red visor. They also ditched the big imperial emblem from the front of the helmet. It's a nice looking figure but maybe not accurate enough for me.

Sorry, I'm not aware of any T-L cardback variants. That doesn't mean there aren't any, just that I am not aware of them. Cardback variants are not really my area of expertise (if I even have one! ).

I agree kenner made it more cooler with the red visor

Thanks for trying I guess they are all palitoy tri-logo cardbacks

nice figure it looks mint. Have you checked it for the correct black blaster ?

That potf moc looks awesome with the coin and the figure on it. What blaster are it packed with on the moc ? the smile or the kader blaster ?

Hi Lars,

Apologies for the delayed reply.

My loose one has the correct Kader blaster, as does my POTF carded example:

Thanks for the post and all the great pictures On the new pictures of your imperial gunner it looks very mint, it looks like it has just been removed from a moc and put on display

There are multiple coos to collect if you're that way inclined. Check out the recent POTF update on Variant Villain.

Great to see you posting in the thread, thanks I have them all 4, I found them years ago. Great to see that there are added potf coo variants. I remember years ago, some people though I was crazy when I was talking about coo variants for potf figures maybe there are a 5th out there

If you have any imperial gunners in your collection, then you are welcome to share them with us in the thread

I have just the one, complete loose. Great figure, one of the first last 17 I got. I bought him at the room sales at Star Wars Celebration 2016 from our very own Mark Daniels.
