Jon "Dutch" Vander - #10

[Rogue1969]

If you don't run across one at Walmart, Gamestop may still have him on clearance for $2.97 (or less).

Porkins, Tiree, and Pops have the similar darker orange color too.

The same shade as Biggs? Dammit.

Here is the promised photo comparing Dutch and Biggs. I much prefer the coloration on Dutch. Forgive me for the awkward angle, I don't have a studio

Way nicer than the cantaloupe orange Biggs! Thanks.

Just opened my Dutch and I'm very disappointed. The helmet looks fantastic. That means they COULD have done a decent job on Wedge's and Biggs' helmets, but chose not to.

I picked him up ONLY because of his helmet :grin: Not really a pilot collector but that helmet looked shiny somehow and i couldnt pass him up

Anyone seen the behind the scenes footage from celebration of Gold Leader? Was it just me or did he call one of the other pilots "Dutch" has this guy has the wrong name all this time?

I love the Rebel pilot body. And I don't care that Hasbro has sold me the same body so many times. I'm glad they saved money.

And he's such a great addition. I've got him in the Clone wars Y-wing. Need his Alliance era one still with a droid slot.

Does anyone know for sure his astromech? I just have the orange R-5 from the Hasbro BAD line in his Y-wing, and I'd like to know for sure. :{D

In the model of Gold Leaders Y-wing was a black R2 with silver ( or maybe white) highlights, a similar Droid can be seen at the rebel briefing.

Man, hasbro needs to re-release the Y-Wing in gold, ANH coloring with an EMPTY DROID SOCKET.

Sigh.

Thanks. I'll watch the briefing scene again to see that one. From what I remember he's fairly similar to R2.

Yep! I hate when they don't have the droid socket. :{D

Here's the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkVUTEBMzUk Is it me or isn't he calling the other pilot "Dutch"?

Those names were invented way, way after the fact, so who knows?

Sweet! I think I have an R2 that I painted black and silver like that already too. *Looks at ARc-170's droid socket. I do! :{D

Thanks for posting the pics. I was thinking the other white one, I think there's one next to R2-D2 in that scene. Glad to know he's black/chrome instead. :{D

What are you talking about? Pops says them in the movie " Lost Tiree, lost Dutch...came from... behind...bkow"

Watch it again, it reaaaaly sounds like he says lost Hutch.

Yeah, it might do. I'm pretty sure the first time he was named Dutch was on Decipher's Jon "Dutch" Vander CCG card in 1995.

I think the one you're thinking of is the one next to R2-D2, with stripes across its head. I think it's Biggs's astro, and it's either black or very very dark green.

I think it sounds like Hutch too. Decipher was notorious for introducing errors, some understandable, some deliberate. In this case I think it's more forgivable I suppose.

Isn't Biggs' one the all silver guy? I thought that the dark green one was R2-X2 who was Red 10's Astromech.

http://www.angelfire.com/droid/astromechs/page10.html this site has some good info on what astromech is with what pilot.

Yeah, growing up, it always sounded like Hutch to me as well. But the way it's said is just unclear enough that Dutch sounds passable too, especially if that's what you're expecting to hear.
