Is it me or does the Gunner appear to have the articulation at the thighs that the 6” have?

Most new figs do seem to sport the thigh swivel.  New ones do anyway.

Revan, while cool, is a highly underarticulated figure comparably speaking.  Kinda bummed he didn't get an upgrade honestly.  I should probably sell my extra one now. :P

Press Pic for the new DS Gunner:



Interesting choice to go with the Rogue One Death Star Gunner.  Glad that it's not just a repack of the old DSG figure.  Maybe it's just perspective, but his legs look kinda long...  hope his scale works out OK.

The legs are... interesting on this guy. Much higher on this figure now I've seen him, though. Great choice to go the RO route.

Well where the hell have I been? I just checked my SA Rogue One figures and they all have the thigh swivel! I totally missed that!

I have to admit that I feel like we could have done without a new DS Gunner sculpt. I am quite happy with the OTC version. They could have slapped that on a vintage card and I'd have been happier.

I'm *ALMOST* right there with you.  The only point that I don't like about the most recent Death Star Gunner sculpt is the Clone trooper likeness.  Hasbro went a little overboard with the Clone face sculpts on Imperial era troops.

But this DS Gunner does look pretty awesome.

Glad to see Hasbro following up with the Tank Commander.  Although it's about 9 months off from now.

Crait Luke is very welcome.  The timing of the release is remarkable since this figure is going to hit about 18 months after the release of TLJ.  To me, that says Hasbro didn't see those Crait scenes until the movie came out.

Love the Crait Luke, and everything in general looks great. I'm sure it is the idea of outfitting the Assault Tank, but it is surprising how much love Rogue One is getting early on in this Vintage Collection comeback. Tank driver, tank commander, plus repacks of the Death Trooper, Jyn, Cassian, and Scarif Trooper. Not to mention that I believe the upcoming Stormtrooper and Death Star Gunner are considered to be from Rogue One as well. Pretty large percentage when we only get 16-20 figures per year.

We need a Crait Kylo Ren to go with the Luke.
