Vintage figures with 'correct' weapons

[SublevelStudios]

Looking at my loose collection this morning (like every morning) and thought I'd place what I think the original figures should have come with weapon-wise.
Firstly, Luke with a blue sabre, same with the Hoth figure, always hated that rifle he came with as he couldn't hold it properly and he was never seen with a gun in that part of the film. Hoth Stormtrooper, again, hated that rifle, looks bloody stupid we he's firing it!
Rebel Soldier, gave him the Endor Commando gun, which is absolutely correct for that figure Lando with a Stormtrooper gun, like the one he actually fires in the film and lastly, the most obvious, Han Bespin - with a Han blaster!

Anyone think of any others?

Luke Hoth looks really good with the blue sabre. Makes perfect sense. I also agree farmboy Luke should have had blue with Ben Kenobi having the yellow (I know this is also technically incorrect but would match the cardback graphic).

I understand why Luke and Ben had different colour sabres (variety etc) but think it would have made sense to switch them over.

All pre-Jedi Lukes should have had blue sabres. When they finally gave him a blue sabre, it should have been green (and was quickly corrected).

What about the CCP? can't say I remember him from the film with a com link or gun for that matter?!?!

Luke Endor with a green saber.

When you think about it they got most the Lukes wrong. :roll:

True, I guess that could be said of a lot of the line, like At At Commander, At At Driver, Hammerhead, Snaggletooth etc...

Liking the Luke Endo with green sabre

I've never really given this a second thought but now you mention it there are a load that are wrong and quite a few characters that were never even seen with a weapon that have one. Yeah why yellow sabers? Only blue, red and green wasn't it? I don't agree about the Hoth Troopers though, I like the big rifles! Makes them seem harder than normal Stormtroopers 8)

Must admit they look much better when paired with the weapons that are true to the ones they used in the films, Luke Hoth looks great with a Blue Saber!

Luke Hoth looking better than he ever has there.

I believe the Bespin Blaster is actually based on the guns used by the Rebel Troops on the Blockade Runner. I'm not sure anyone on Bespin ever used one. Kenner seemed to have a bit of a fetish for those guns.

and lastly, the most obvious, Han Bespin - with a Han blaster!

Eh? What did Han Bespin come with if not a Han blaster? :?

 

[SublevelStudios]

Er, a Bespin blaster, you never knew this Barry?!

 

[Joe]

Quick take his collectors card away! :lol:

I watched star wars on Saturday and the rebels on the blockade runner have bespin blasters (shame there's no vintage figure though).
The DSC just after the "where are you taking this....thing" line also seems to have one.
Lando has one in his publicity shots too so I guess that's where the error comes from.
