I rather like this little PDT-8 mini-rig. It's not exactly true to Echo Base in The Empire Strikes Back but as a small transport to complement your Snowspeeders and X-Wing Fighters in the hangar bay it somehow really did the job. You could believe in the PDT-8 as something which belonged on Echo Base even though it wasn't in the movie. Kenner really indulged in overkill when it came to producing Hoth mini-rigs, but they were probably still high on the success of merchandising for the previous movie and the PDT-8 is amongst the best of them.

Find PDT-8 (Personnel Deployment Transport) Mini-Rig on eBay

Putting aside it's vintage charm the PDT-8 is no substitute for the marvelous Rebel Transport Speeder and Rebel Technician from the Legacy Collection battlepack (and Shadow of the Dark Side 2011 set). As two mini-rigs which fulfil a similar function they are worlds apart and even generations apart for that matter.

Note: The solid-domed R2-D2 used in the photos has repro stickers.

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.
