Star Wars The Vintage Collection Rogue One: A Story Antoc Merrick’s X-Wing Fighter Vehicle with Action Figure

Product Information

Toys feature premium detail and design across product and packaging inspired by the original line, as well as the movie-inspired collector grade deco that fans have come to know and love. It could be argued that many of these are “play features”, which are generally frowned upon in adult collectibles, but it’s only when they disrupt the aesthetic and/or create screen inaccuracies. Prior to the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War, Merrick served as the flight leader of his homeworld's planetary defense forces, which was known as the Virujansi Rarified Air Cavalry. In 2019, Hasbro released The Vintage Collection's Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Fighter vehicle through the Fan Channel.

The girls toy aisles aren't our regular ball park but we occasionally like to try something different to our norm. Luke’s squadron was originally supposed to be Blue Squadron, but because the models were being shot on a blue chroma key, the blue wing designations would have resulted in a Brick Tamland moment.Blue Squadron entered combat above Scarif in conjunction with the Rebel Fleet led by Admiral Raddus.

Before long, a technician rushed to inform Mon Mothma of Rogue One's actions, but was stopped by Merrick in front of the former senator. On page 170 of the 2016 reference book Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide, Merrick was erroneously referred to as Davits Draven. He deferred to Colonel Cor for day-to-day decisions, but Cor treated the fighter resources as mere assets, whilst Merrick refused to risk lives needlessly. Local military forces loyal to the old regime were effectively disbanded, and the pilots of the Air Cavalry were extended invitations to join the Imperial Navy.He operated a T-65B X-wing starfighter known as Blue One, [3] manufactured by the Incom Corporation. During the battle, Merrick flew as Blue Squadron leader in a T-65B X-wing starfighter until he was shot down and killed by a TIE Striker. Hasbro took 2019's TVC Luke Skywalker (X-Wing Pilot) (VC158), gave it a new head, and repainted it in the colors of Antoc Merrick's blue/green pilot uniform. com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646). That said, it still feels like many other X-Wing fighters from the Original Trilogy need to be either updated or released for the first time in The Vintage Collection.
