Wrong figures on boxes

[Pomse2001]

My little nephew could not understand why the stormie are in the cockpit on the front of the at-st walker rotj box. And not the at-st driver. I must admit i have not noticed it before my nephew saw it and told me about it. He could not understand why i gave him the at-st driver for the walker because it is a stormie that drive it on the box

I have not checked other boxes for errors. But are there other boxes with wrong figures driving or flying them etc. Etc.

Hi Lars, I'm pretty sure this is because the vehicle was made before the correct figure. The AT-ST was actually released in the ESB range by Kenner in the US, so it's highly likely for Return of the Jedi, they prepared the re-release and updated its box photo art before the AT-ST Driver was released.

Similarly, the original white TIE Fighter was released well before the TIE Fighter Pilot (which was a late ESB release, where the TIE Fighter vehicle was a SW release), which is why a Stormtrooper is flying that one on the box as well. Likewise, the Twin-Pod 'Do nothing' Cloud Car has a Bespin Security Guard and Luke Bespin (of all people!) piloting it on the box (and it's parked on what appears to be Hoth and is surrounded by Leia Bespin, C-3PO, Lando and more Bespin Guards for good measure), because once again, it was released well ahead of the Cloud Car Pilot figure
