Summary
A plastic toy X-Wing Fighter spaceship from the 'Star Wars' films (circa 1980). The ship is white with wings at each side and it tapers at the front. The wings can be moved up or down and have detachable guns at each end. The cockpit has a clear plastic hinged lid to allow access to a seat within. Sitting in the seat is a Luke Skywalker action figure. He has blonde hair and is wearing a brown flight suit. Behind Luke is R2D2, a cylindrical silver coloured and blue robot droid. It is sitting in a hole towards the back of the ship and cannot be removed. The ship is decorated in places with orange paper stripes and the rocket boosters are also shown by a printed illustration. Underneath the ship is a movable landing leg. Total number of items is 4.
