Title:
#18 | “Battle-Damaged” Imperial TIE Fighter
Description:
“Battle-Damaged” Imperial TIE Fighter Vehicle (1983)
Very similar to what had been done with the X-wing toy, Kenner also released a “Battle Damaged” version of the TIE fighter. The mold of the toy is nearly the same, but there are some major differences. The white plastic was abandoned for a blueish color and the ship had additional stickers to simulate asteroid or blast damage. The cockpit hatch now featured four slots, while the original TIE hatch had no openings.
The “Battle-Damaged” TIE was sold in a new box featuring the Return of the Jedi logo. It showed the toy in front of an asteroid field, a scene that never took place during A New Hope, but rather during The Empire Strikes Back. The side of the box depicts a boy utilizing the action features of the ship and a rather strange photo where Lando Calrissian and Admiral Ackbar are standing next to a TIE manned by Darth Vader.
