There is nothing worse than finding a variation on a hard to find action figure, and the 6-Inch X-Wing Pilot Asty has just joined the list with this early variation found by Rebelscum reader Bob C from Riverside, CA. Click the thumbnail above to see both versions currently documented. According to the 52301 date stamp on the figure on the left, Hasbro originally offered Asty with black straps and blaster in hand before reducing the paint application and changing the inner tray on the figure on the right (date stamped as 52371).
The version in our photo archive is the second version, and it was purchased on December 27th in Indio, CA, leading us to believe this is possibly going to be a tough variation to track down.
