This Wookiee Heavy Gunner action figure was released in
2005 in the Revenge Of The Sith Collection.
Hasbro gave the figure twelve joints and included
six accessories (2 grenades, 2-piece bowcaster with projectile, belt, tunic, grappling hook with string).
Here is what we noticed when we took a closer look at the figure:
- This Wookiee Heavy Gunner (Blast Attack!) was released individually carded
- The figure is a repaint of the Sneak Preview Wookiee Warrior from earlier in the same year (2005)
- This time however Hasbro included different accessories
- The bulky bowcaster doesn't fit well into either hand
- The grappling hook fits nicely into both hands
- The Wookiee can hold the grenades well in the left hand, but not in the right (at least in the figure reviewed here)
- The soft-goods tunic can be taken off the figure, along with the belt (which is its own piece)
- The paint application is significantly different from the previously released Wookiee Warrior
- The figure stands very well on its own without help from a stand
- This Wookiee stands about two heads taller and is about twice as wide as a regular Star Wars action figure
The articulation details are as follows: swivel neck, 2 ball-jointed shoulders, 2 swivel elbows, 2 swivel wrists, swivel waist, 2 swivel legs, 2 ball-jointed knees
