Twin Pod Cloud Car with (Twin Pod) Cloud Car Pilot. Fun fact: when #Kenner released the Cloud Car, the pilot figure wasn’t available yet. In fact it came almost two years later, within the final wave for TESB. Instead, Kenner used the Bespin Guard as pilots for their ad and packaging photos. As the second Bespin Guard wasn’t released yet, they used two moustached Bespin Guards for the packaging. Another curiosity on the packaging was, that the Cloud Car landed in snow and that Luke (Bespin Fatigues) was sitting in one of the pods. Of course there was also lots of typical Kenner 5POA waving action present. #starwars #actionfigures #twinpodcloudcar #twinpodcloudcarpilot #cloudcar #cloudcarpilot #vintagestarwarstoys #vintagestarwars #originaltrilogy #bespin #cloudcity https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFMNbiniSY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ocoquvst0vqp

Twin Pod Cloud Car Pilot! I like how basic this figure is yet unique. Cool helmet and design. Representing for Empire Strikes Back day in my countdown as it winds down.

(Twin Pod) Cloud Car Pilot. One of the more obscure figures from the Kenner line as its design was largely made up by Kenner since only the head of the figure could be seen in the movie or any reference material given to Kenner. Besides being just a side character that you even could army build, it had two pieces of accessory of which the comlink was the smallest in the whole line. The left arm was bent into an action pose which was until then unique to the first Han Solo figure. The pilot figure came out with the last wave for The Empire Strikes Back, long after the release of the Cloud Car vehicle, which until then had to be piloted by your first and second Bespin Security Guard. Also, it had one of the longest names with the most name parts and starting with parentheses. For me it was the first figure from a new wave that I received without packaging, along with Luke in Hoth Outfit, and the AT-AT Commander, which added to the mystery because I couldn't see what other figures would be in the wave, let alone how big the new wave would be. Coincidentally the Hoth diorama I bought this figure off from, contained the complete wave (not mentioning the rather disappointing new C-3PO and R2-D2 versions). #starwars #actionfigures #kenner #cloudcarpilot #twinpodcloudcarpilot #bespin #cloudcity
