Yes, this was one of the few figures in the vintage line to have a removable helmet (as I recall, the only others were Lando as Skiff Guard, Leia in Endor Poncho, and POTF Luke Stormtrooper). I always thought it was a very nifty figure, and its detailing was reasonably screen-accurate.
The 2006 update is nice. On the plus side, the likeness to Carrie Fisher is very good, and the figure is in the proper scale to represent her shorter stature. The removable thermal detonator is also nice touch. On the minus side, the bronze color of the pike does not appear to be correct--it looks black to me in the source image--and the plastic is WAY too flexible.
I always loved the vintage cardback and think it is one of the most striking of the line (gotta love that Kenner airbrushing that really makes the image pop.) It would be awesome to see Hasbro release a brand new resculpt of this figure in the Vintage collection on this card.
