A-Wing w/ Unnamed Pilot Action Figure

A nicely detailed and good looking model however for a Hasbro vehicle it's a little sparse in features. It does have a retractable landing gear and a lever at the back that pops open the canopy.

The vehicle came with this unnamed pilot who seems to have the same body as the Tycho Celchu action figure but the head sculpt I don't recognise. If any of the regular visitors know if this pilot is meant to be a specific character please let me know in comments.

Leia Action Figure in Boushh Disguise

Although this figure is actually from a slightly more modern line than the previous three Shadows of the Empire figures it is still relevant to SOTE week here on the blog as its at the same time that Chewie disguises himself as Snoova that Leia gets her costume.

This figure is of course more famous for its appearance in ROTJ when Leia, disguised as Boushh, haggles with Jabba the Hutt. What makes this figure so cool? Cause it's "holding a thermal detonator!"

Chewbacca Action Figure in Snoova Disguise

This has become a Shadows of the Empire week on this blog, in the novel Chewie and Leia are sent on an undercover mission. Leia disguises herself as the bounty hunter Boushh which you'll recognise from ROTJ (check back later in the week for that figure) while Chewie disguises himself as another bounty hunter, Snoova.

For the deception Chewie has to trim the top his head and die his fur in places. Makes for a great action figure that comes with a big blaster rifle and a cool battle axe that can be clipped onto his back.
