Description:
The only Hoth-based Micro set not included in the large Hoth World ensemble, the defining feature of the Turret Defense toy was its representions of the cannon mounts used by the Rebels on Hoth. It featured six figures, including versions of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and a Rebel commander. The TaunTaun-mounted Luke figure is kind of odd, since the character is not seen riding the beast after the beginning of the film, long before the battle with the Empire begins. But no matter-- it's a neat figure.
