We’re back inside Echo Base during The Empire Strikes Back this #StarWarsSaturday. Today, from The Vintage Collection, it’s 2-1B!
Following a rescue from the frigid blizzard conditions by Han Solo and Zev Senesca, Luke is placed in a Bacta Tank to help heal his recently sustained wounds.
This version of the medical droid 2-1B is labeled as The Vintage Collection and was released in the “Rebel Set” 3-pack with a Hoth Rebel Trooper and Hoth Princess Leia. It was actually a repaint of a FOURTEEN-year-old Power of the Force 2 figure from 1997. The paint on this version may have slightly more blue mixed into the silver, but it is otherwise identical to the original figure.
Even though this character was included in the vintage Empire Strikes Back line 45 years ago, it still has not received a modern update with elbows, knees, or ankles. Thankfully, the paint apps are good, he holds his Medical Diagnostic Computer well, and the feet design helps keep him upright in your Echo Base display.
The Empire Strikes Back turned 45 years old last week! I “figure” there’ll be a new Episode V figure to share here for the rest of the year. Happy 45 years of ESB!
