The Rebels one is incredibly small. Very undersized to the show’s ship which was not huge by any means but definitely a bulkier item than they released. It also had cheap features like basically being hollow underneath and only seating two people inside as a result, back to back. The guns were pretty static despite being little ball turreted weapons too and as I recall the top cannon wasn’t very movable either? Mine isn’t out right now but I recall at the time feeling the original vintage ship was a far better item in general.
I can’t say I found the plastic too bad. It was a sign of the times but it didn’t bother me much. It’s size and the hollow bottom nature of it bugged me most. They weren’t expensive of course, but at the same time they seemed overpriced for what they were (at the time, to me anyway) and so I was just let down by it. I’ll be more than happy to buy an updated one if that comes to pass. I am also excited at the prospect of a vintage toy going to canon in a toon and to “reality” in a live action TV show. It’s nostalgia on steroids.
I’d not be shocked at balking at price btw. Status quo of the TVC groups I’ve seen it seems. Makes me laugh but I’d happily buy one for that if it’s tank levels of quality.
