Bespin Security Guard (Black):

01.jpg
 
Not a figure I saw in the stores when I was a kid in denmark. But it was sold in denmark, but I guess it was not easy to find in the shops. I also did not have it in the 80s when I was a kid. I first got it in 2001.
 
OK, straight from the Ministry of Silly Walks comes the Black Bespin Security Guard! The figure might not be the most exciting in the world perhaps, but I think it's fine all the same. However, the walking pose is just awful IMHO! Regardless, there are a few variants to be found on this figure, and here are my 4, plus a Palitoy 45B MOC.

From left to right (please note, these photos were taken before I corrected the blasters. Mine do now hold what they should and not what they're pictured holding below! 😬)

Unitoy L1b, R1a - Darker brown skin, dark orange red cuffs, smooth uniform, detailed laurel leaves on jacket.
Smile L1b, R1b - Lighter brown skin, light orange / red cuffs, textured uniform, flat laurel leaves on jacket.
Unitoy L1a, R1c - Very dark brown skin, very dark red cuffs, smooth uniform, detailed laurel leaves on jacket.
PBP L2b - Wide head, Dark grey/brown skin, darker blue body, shiny dark red cuffs, smooth uniform, detailed laurel leaves on jacket, hard plastic, scarred COO, 2 points on his chin!

Very cool! Do you happen to know if the PBP version has the "Glitter, Silver Speckled" Bespin Blaster? Or was that just the Rebel Soldier?

Super cool! Thanks for the post. So, did the PBP version have a "silver glitter" Bespin Blaster version as well? Or was that just the Rebel Soldier only? Hmm..

Thank you.

Both the PBP dark Brown Rebel Soldier and the PBP Lando Calrissian came (at least some of the time) with the 'metallic' Bespin blaster. I'm not aware of the PBP black Bespin Security Guard also coming with it, but it may have done.

The figure is decent enough & I did like seeing some variety to army build (what happened to our fleet troopers eh) but the stupid stance with one leg on holiday really spoiled the playability factor IMO, had he had a more regular stance I think the figure would be received with a lot more love.
