Clint Awesome review of this figure I am wanting a ton of these guys for myself, I will give the Yarders a little history lesson about this guy. this figure is based on Concept work but has had a place in the Star Wars Mythos since October of 1989 when the Imperial Source book was released. He is part of my favorite group the 112th Repulsorlift Armor Regiment, also known as the Hell's Hammers  one of the vehicles they use is known as a Heavy Recovery Vehicle its used to recover soldiers, Vehicles and equipment from the battlefield. Hasbro has made this vehicle for years just not for Star Wars take a look at the pic looks just like a HISS tank. Just thought you guys would like to know a little backstory with this charecter.


I have waited years to take these pics.












I know the scale is off but I made this tank after finding the concept images a few years back So I thought it would be appropriate to post it here. Hasbro please give us this concept vehicle in a decent scale.

I found this figure yesterday and snatched it up.   It's a great customs base for an Expanded Universe character, I have a few ideas, I just need to figure out exactly what I want to do with it.   

Having it in hand I can reemphasize that fabric skirt really does hide way too much detail underneath.  I was planning to just cut it way down but I ended up leaving it off altogether once I removed it because it really obscures every detail on the lower half and that's a tragedy IMO.  I know it was included because it's accurate to the conceptual art but on the toy it's totally unnecessay and better left off.

Did that skirt come off pretty easily, NFC? Also, can you take a pic of him without the skirt for us?

Here is the packaging pic for this one.
Mine came packed with the left leg for HK-50

Oh, by the way, L.E., the pics of the snowies with your tank are awesome.

yeah, just boil water, pull the torso off the wait peg, slip the belt off and remove the atrocious wedding dress-ish skirt, and reassemble
