He operated a T-65B X-wing starfighter known as Blue One, [3] manufactured by the Incom Corporation. Merrick then led Blue Squadron's X-wings and U-wings through the Shield Gate to provide air support to the pathfinders on Scarif's surface. One of the great and most memorable moments of the Battle of Scarif was when Antoc Merrick swooped in with his X-Wing at the last minute to save the Roque One crew from imminent vaporization at the hands of an approaching AT-ACT. Featuring premium detail inspired by Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, this collectible Star Wars The Vintage Collection 3.When the entirety of the Massassi starfighter squadrons were scrambled, Merrick had authority over all other squadron leaders.

Thus, Luke’s group was changed to Red Squadron, and a blue X-Wing was a “what might have been” until Rogue One was released. Despite having logged hundreds of hours at the controls of a U-wing, Merrick's preferred craft when leading a squadron was Blue One, his T-65B X-wing starfighter. Merrick sent multiple reports to Mon Mothma discussing the uses and details of ships both within the rebellion and those they fought against. My gripes with the mold are that the rear landing gears retract too easily, and the cockpit does not close flush. Antoc Merrick, portrayed by Ben Daniels, is a character created for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first installment in the Star Wars Anthology Series, which was released on December 16, 2016.Prior to the outbreak of the Galactic Civil War, Merrick served as the flight leader of his homeworld's planetary defense forces, which was known as the Virujansi Rarified Air Cavalry. It wasn't until a month later that most collectors began trickling out to the sales floor and online for those who don't have brick and mortar locations near them. As an intelligence chief, Draven commanded a staff, but those who reported to him were normally lone operators, in contrast to Merrick's squadrons of pilots who committed themselves to cooperation and unit cohesion. While we never personally clamored for this vehicle's release, it's good for the line to keep larger-sized vehicles in the lineup, even if that means through exclusive channels.

I absolutely love where this sculpt has ended up from the concealed landing gear in the nose, to the removable flight controls, which greatly facilitate seating the pilot while holding the flight yoke, to the extendable targeting computer, and finally to the concealed proton torpedo. Local military forces loyal to the old regime were effectively disbanded, and the pilots of the Air Cavalry were extended invitations to join the Imperial Navy. In another, Merrick compiled all information from Rebel Intelligence on the differing models of the TIE line the rebellion faced, including Grand Admiral Thrawn's TIE Defender.With all of the helmets produced throughout the years, it's a shame that Hasbro didn't take the time to find a better-fitting helmet for this action figure. Alongside friend and fellow pilot Garven Dreis, Merrick instead opted for early retirement, left Virujansi, and sought out membership with the Rebel Alliance. We know many collectors would rather see the vehicles from the Battle Of Yavin instead of ones based on Rogue One.

Experience the excitement and action of a galaxy far, far away with figures from the Star Wars The Vintage Collection! That said, it still feels like many other X-Wing fighters from the Original Trilogy need to be either updated or released for the first time in The Vintage Collection. Serving on the Alliance High Command allowed Merrick to play an essential and influential role in the early rebellion. has offered many gems in the Vintage Collection, but I feel this Target exclusive Antoc Merrick’s X-Wing is tied with VC186 - Boba Fett for the most exciting release of the year. Based on tooling first released in 2011 during the Star Wars [Shadow Of The Dark Side] line, Hasbro made that vehicle specific to the Death Star Trench Run from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

This figure, along with the X-Wing Fighter, should be in everybody's collection, it's a great one and a wonderful release for the 5th anniversary of Rogue One!
