i wonder about the standing pilot figure. I thought they don't do that anymore and just add the flat shape figures. Or do they still add full body figures in the kits in Japan?
All the new kits produced after the licensing fiasco have been flats. Any kits that previously had 3D figures have been converted to flats
i.e. all new kits and re-pops have flats regardless of whether they once had 3D ones
Occasionally when buying online you might luck out and get one of the original kits with the 3D standing figures
There was also a standing figure set that I am pretty certain was originally created for and intended to be included as part of the 1/72 PG Falcon, much the same as the Fine Molds 1/72 included standing figures of Han, Luke, Chewie, Ben and Leia plus a few Stormtroopers
My guess is that Bandai, being unable to include them, but having planned on molds for them, probably released them as Gashapon collectible packs for the Japanese market to at least get them out somehow.
The characters are "pre-painted" and the Stormtroopers are unpainted
Japan import. These 1/72 scale Star Wars characters are perfect for your diorama projects or just as desk decorations. Each character comes with 3 Stormtrooper figures. Designs in this collection: Darth Vader Obi-Wan Kenobi Princess Leia Luke Skywalker Hans Solo Chewbacca C3-P0

The Vader figure is the exact same sculpt as the one that was in the Vader Tie Fighter except it has a base added
