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

[Pomse2001]

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.

I agree kenner made it more cooler with the red visor

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! ).

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.

Thanks rob for sharing you imperial gunner, it looks mint who is Mark Daniels ?

With all this new weapon stuff variant info going around. What are your thoughts for your own weapons ? do you check it for the correct black blaster for the imperial gunner or do you not care about that and are happy with that it is just black ?

He's a well known collector and artist, been around on the Forum and Facebook for years.

No, I don't give two ***** about Coo's or which exact weapon version goes with what. As long as it's the right weapon, preferably in the right colour.

Never managed to get this one, unfortunately, though looking at @Pomse2001 photos, they all went to Denmark instead, ha ha

Maybe I never knew his last name, I have bought from a mark before on the forum, but I guess there are many mark on the forum

Sounds great that you are not falling into the trap of coo and exact weapons I am not that strong I can't stop when I learn something new about figures and weapons, I want it to be perfect

well if I remember correct all of them is bought in danish childhood lots, except my first one theat one I bought on ebay I could not get myself to sell them when I found them in lots, I am now army building on them for some kind of star wars scene I will do in the future

Other than my loose one, I have this POTF MOC version.
Unfortunately an earlier owner had hole-punched the card... and theres a tear where i guess someone has removed a price sticker.

That's a crying shame about the previous owner hole punching the card... crazy! Even so, the card itself looks pretty nice, with an excellent bubble and a lovely mint figure

Thanks for sharing!

OK, late to the party but here goes.......

I love the Imperial Gunner and he is 100% my favourite of the lst 17. The loose figure here I picked up from a shop in Liverpool called "Mersey Collectibles" back around 1996 when I first started collecting vintage after finding my childhood Star Wars toys in my parents loft. His blaster is somewhere in this house but f'ked if I can find it !

The MOC I picked up fairly recently, it's fully sealed and his blaster is just about hanging on to the ageing tape

Wow that potf moc are beautiful and your imperial gunner looks mint, I hope you find the blaster, they are ******* expensive today. I agree imperial gunner are one of the best last 17 figures

Here's my minty loose figure. Used to have a Tri-logo MOC, bought in the mid-nineties from one of the Cheshunt SW days. Sold on here a few years ago.
