Wedge Antitties

Some inspiration for y’all today, friends. Here’s to some of the greatest heroes ever written, and to the author(s) who wrote and will write them. 🔥💗 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLz55IKAJCj/?igshid=1itiv34oo4tgk

Nope it’s definitely not Wednesday, but your WedgeUcation must continue!! Yesterday was a slammed day in the life of this pilot, so here’s your Wedge Wednesday one day late, y’all! It’s an important one, and there will definitely be a quiz at the end. 🤣🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLt-jTNJjWQ/?igshid=1qcryn20tl8bv

A new addition to the collection today y’all! And LISSEN, this little feller is tough to come by! What you see here is none other than Wedge’s most trusted astromech companion, R2-A3 (although Wedge has had more than one astromech throughout his career.) This badass little redboi comes from the 2016 @hasbro Black Series astromech 3-pack; the other two droids included were R5-K6, Red Leader Garven Dreis’s trusty droid, and R2-F2, the droid belonging to Biggs Darklighter. I’m thrilled to finally have my 2019 Black Series Wedge reunited with his Artoo!! 🔥🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLr0M0UpeTo/?igshid=wwijaez1wl49

Here you see a production painting for Return of the Jedi by Ralph McQuarrie, the legendary Star Wars art designer. This beautiful art was re-released in 1993 by @topps as part of their ‘The Design of Star Wars’ line. And oh yeah, you guessed it. That’s Wedge in that X-Wing, already on his way out. 🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLnogimpyYh/?igshid=9ajx94ct7tjb

It’s issue 3 of 4 from the thrilling ‘The Phantom Affair’ by @darkhorsecomics, the continued adventures of Wedge Antilles and Rogue Squadron. Also, is it just me, or did @davedormanartist create one hell of a likeness of Lance Henriksen for this cover?? 😎🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLnS73wpeUQ/?igshid=ojtuhm5pva0i

I’m excited to announce that my WedgeUcation 101 series will be exploring some of the most pivotal and well-known technologies throughout the Star Wars mythos! That journey begins today as we learn about the Taim & Bak Corporation! 🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLm6mGFJGWV/?igshid=1llc6l963fkg

Happy Monday, pilots! Here’s an update from my collection. What you see here is the 1998 @faoschwarz exclusive Wedge and Biggs in their pilot gear! I love the detail on these 12-inch dolls and especially their beautifully-crafted helmets! The character descriptions are thorough and well-written too; a real testament to the quality of the toys at the time. I suspect that quite a few of these sets were made, as it’s not difficult to find them over 20 years later, but it’s still a helluva fine addition to any collector’s shelves! 🔥🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmsBuUpZ0z/?igshid=187xxj3t03kwh

On today’s WedgeUcation 101: a mini-lesson about the Incom Corporation, arguably the most well-known and prolific starfighter designer in the entire Star Wars mythos! 🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLevunRJ1XT/?igshid=1lyh008xcoqa9

Your eardrums can’t repel melodies of that magnitude!! https://www.instagram.com/p/CLen79-pj8B/?igshid=j3eajuu38195

Here you see one of my very favorite pieces in the history of Star Wars toys, and also an early addition to my collection...I’ve had this piece for over 20 years!! This is the ‘Rebel Pilots’ three-figure set from @hasbro’s Power of the Force line, and I love everything about it. It was released in 1999. Let’s take a look at who’s here. It’s Ten Numb, Wedge of course, and as a great bonus, Arvel Crynyd, the A-Wing pilot responsible for bringing down the Executor Super Star Destroyer at the Battle of Endor. (Yep, he was THAT guy, courageously giving his life to end the Empire’s reign.) This box is full of heroes!! And just look at that badass background! A full-color X-Wing in its hanger before the battle!! 🔥🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLcOYpWp_5T/?igshid=1ev86h215jccz

Another amazing #wedgememe by my pal @nancy__cooper26, who, whether she knows it or not, makes the best Wedge Memes and I’m grateful she lets me share them. 🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLar1QXJ0mv/?igshid=d8xgucazuy92

On today’s Wedge Wednesday: Wedge Antilles isn’t just the hero of one battle. He’s the hero of MANY battles. 🔥🔥 https://www.instagram.com/p/CLZhCeNpC05/?igshid=1k4frgc07jjx9

On today’s update from my collection: yeah. I have Wedge’s X-Wing stickers. 🔥🔥 These bad boys are from @teepublic, and I can’t even believe they exist. AMAZING! https://www.instagram.com/p/CLXx2E3pmPq/?igshid=107xizul6gfac
