  Hi all and welcome, Is the 1995 POTF X-Wing underrated, or does modern sculpt accuracy win every time?<br>Let me know which version you prefer having on your shelf.

  Love this! Thanks for making it. My first big star wars toy was the 90s xwing. I love it. Haven&apos;t heard those sound effects in maybe 25 years - so nice to hear them again!!

  I hate to admit I still have my PotF (1995) X-Wing in it’s box. This video makes me want to take it out and display it! Thx for the video.

  Cool fun toy! I used to have mine displayed on a top dresser from late 90’s to early ‘00’s. It’s still in my collection in great condition! Great review!

  Hi! Congratulations! I have the both. And I have too the 1st one in 1978, with Ligth &amp; Sounds effects, and the back with Sculpt.

  This was actually my first X-Wing! I really wasn&apos;t into Star Wars toy collecting at the time, but found one back in 2000 at a Kay Bee Toys that was going out of business for $10 USD (I&apos;m in the US)... an amazing price.<br>At the time I had no idea Hasbro had reused the Kenner molds, but I thought this was an excellent toy, although I didn&apos;t bother stickering it up since I thought the painted weathering was good, and I wished the stickers were a bit more minimalistic.<br>Over the years I&apos;ve amassed a number of X-Wings, and I think the Hasbro version is just as nice. It is a little disappointing to see collectors stick their noses up at these since they&apos;re not legit Kenner. But that means these are more affordable on the secondary market.<br>I will mention though, after some use I&apos;ve noticed an issue with the battery contacts bending slightly, and not making contact with the batteries... so something to look out for.

  I had this since I was a kid up until about a month ago when I sold it.

  My X-Wing (my brother&apos;s, technically ...), most definitely a UK one, early 80s, had batteries and went &apos;bzzzzzz&apos; when a button behind R2 was pressed. It&apos;s long gone now, sadly, but I am fairly sure it had the molded back end as opposed to the sticker ... I&apos;m pretty sure - but it was a long time ago, in a galaxy far away
