A wonderful trio of MOCs! I especially like the ESB card with its crystal clear bubble. Fabulous stuff!Mini99 said:
Thanks for sharing
The AT-AT Commander. A good, solid figure that does what it needs to. I'm not sure why Kenner didn't bother naming either this or the Imperial Commander figure 'General Veers' (except on the Canadian vac-formed carded version, of course), especially considering both figures are of the same character, as played by the brilliant Julian Glover. Despite that oversight however, and the seeming nervousness on Kenner's part not to show the character on his cardback (presumably they thought a picture of an AT-AT walker would sell more figures, and maybe they were right), the figure is a decent one, and essential for commanding your AT-AT walker as it blasted and stomped its way around your bedroom carpet / between your dining table's legs / sandpit / back garden / wherever your battles against the Rebellion took it :-D
I have 3 variants of the good Commander, boasting two distinct sculpts, plus a baggied one from my Rebel Command Center Adventure Set. One sculpt has a narrower stance, a different neck line, different head sculpt and wider horizontal bars on the back of his breast plate / armour, with the other sculpt having a wider stance and narrower horizontal bars on the back of his breast plate / armour. And then there's the PBP with its much lighter grey plastic and its tendency for the torso to discolour (this particular one's not too bad, but they all seem to turn eventually :-()

Thanks. If you're waiting for a lot of variants, ask Lars for Luke Bespin! :lol:Mini99 said:

3 beautiful figures and a baggie, PBP is always my favorite 8) thanks for sharing them. I have never understood why kenner did not call him General Veers and why they did not show him on the cardback and they showed the AT-AT, but maybe you are right about they thought they would sell more :?
I never had the figure when I was a kid or the AT-AT so I never blasted my way around in my room, but I wish I have had them when I was a kid
