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

Product Information

I absolutely love where this sculpt has ended up from the concealed landing gear in the nose, to the removable flight controls, which greatly facilitate seating the pilot while holding the flight yoke, to the extendable targeting computer, and finally to the concealed proton torpedo. General Antoc Merrick worried that General Davits Draven was too pragmatic and thus likely to forget the human variables when making his cold calculations. Mothma, however, told Merrick to let him speak, and when the technician revealed that Admiral Raddus was going to fight, Blue Squadron, along with the entire starfighter wing at Base One, scrambled to provide assistance. In 2019, Hasbro released The Vintage Collection's Luke Skywalker's X-Wing Fighter vehicle through the Fan Channel.

This figure, along with the X-Wing Fighter, should be in everybody's collection, it's a great one and a wonderful release for the 5th anniversary of Rogue One! 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. When the entirety of the Massassi starfighter squadrons were scrambled, Merrick had authority over all other squadron leaders. In one, Merrick reported the use of UT-60D U-wing starfighter/support craft as a troop transport on Mantooine in the Atrivis sector. If you're into Rogue One, you may have been waiting for Hasbro to produce this pilot and vehicle set.Blue Squadron entered combat above Scarif in conjunction with the Rebel Fleet led by Admiral Raddus.

We don't have the astromech droid, and Hasbro better release this character into The Vintage Collection soon, or what was the point of producing this set in the first place. 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. Having logged hundreds of hours at the controls of a U-wing, he knew from experience the pilots bore extra responsibility and felt particularly protective of them. 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. Merrick was in command of all starfighter squadrons at the Rebel's base on Dantooine, and then later on at Base One on Yavin 4.In another, Merrick compiled all information from Rebel Intelligence on the differing models of the TIE line the rebellion faced, including Grand Admiral Thrawn's TIE Defender. Thus, Luke’s group was changed to Red Squadron, and a blue X-Wing was a “what might have been” until Rogue One was released.

His name was revealed on October 15, 2016 by Entertainment Weekly in an exclusive trading card from Star Wars: Card Trader. Taking the exact vehicle, Hasbro now repaints it as the blue X-Wing Fighter that Antoc Merrick used in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. We're not sure if it matches the likeness of the onscreen character all that much, but there are some similarities. In Merrick's absence, or when operational authority was better served from a ground-based dispatch, General Jan Dodonna commanded the fleet. The included Antoc Merrick figure is fully articulated with poseable head, arms, and legs, and comes with 2 detachable entertainment-inspired accessories, including helmet and blaster.He also explained that a copy of the weapon's technical readouts was kept in the Citadel Tower on Scarif. 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. com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646).
