Kenner Rebel Soldier (Hoth Battle Gear) Action Figure: Overview

It's easy to forget just what a versatile action figure the Kenner Hoth Battle Gear Rebel Solider was and this was aided by the number of Hoth mini-rigs which came out around the same time. Not only could the Rebel Soldier figure fight the ground battle on Hoth with his blaster, he could also man the Radar Laser Cannon, pilot the MLC-3, mount a Tauntaun or even work the Hoth Vehicle Maintenance Energizer. There was a lot for this Hoth Rebel Soldier action figure to do without having to do much thinking about where to put him.

Tip: If you ever want your Rebel Soldier in Hoth Battle Gear figure to carry four Hoth packbacks as shown in the Kenner box art for the vintage Rebel Transport then you are going to need a figure stand. The box photo for the Rebel Transport cuts the Rebel Soldier figure off at the waist so you can't tell he's using a figure stand for balance. Even though the gas masks are much lighter the same goes for the Rebel Soldier in Hoth Battle Gear carrying those. He will topple over forwards without a figure stand. At the back of the Transport Princess Leia looks to be having a good old chin wag with Ben Kenobi.

You can see on the photo below that the Kenner Rebel Soldier figure carrying the Hoth backpacks is suffering from paint loss on the strap for his goggles.

All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.

All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
