Still I might dig out my old Star Destroyer and try it sometime, it really looked cool. <br /><br />This might also explain why the Death Squad Commander is hanging upside down--- he's not being punished, he's doing maintenance! They are after all in an asteroid field where it's hard to get a clear signal. Maybe DSC is holding the antenna, like I had to do in the 70s with my dad's TV "rabbit ear" antenna to get a better picture to come in?digbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148235217689173335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087255031314568038.post-21707774372403978362017-07-25T11:59:37.876-07:002017-07-25T11:59:37.876-07:00Thanks for the comment Digby and glad you're e...Thanks for the comment Digby and glad you're enjoying the blog! Interesting about holding an Emperor figure behind the red holo piece... I don't think that this was Kenner's intention at the time though, since this toy came out several years before the Emperor figure was ever produced. Kenner copywriters even referred to the character on the box as the "Grand Vizier"!

Maybe that was the intended use, and Kenner simply failed to communicate how to use it properly? <br />Thanks and love the blog, I just found it!digbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148235217689173335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087255031314568038.post-51649177817521205382016-08-11T15:11:48.778-07:002016-08-11T15:11:48.778-07:00Oh and G-Dawg, if you're still wondering, I ca...Oh and G-Dawg, if you're still wondering, I can't see a face in the hologram piece.
