Twin Pod Cloud Car | |
In the early 80s Spanish licensee Poch released four boxed ships with the EL IMPERIO CONTRAATACA and POCH logos. They all brought the in-pack ESB catalog. The box slides open in a similar fashion to a model kit box, with a bottom box side in plain white cardboard, and a top box cover with photos on all five sides. This is the same kind of box that was used in brazilian Glasslite ships, but Spanish boxes were produced in much thicker sturdier cardboard than their brazilian counterparts.
The Twin Pod was released with the same photos and texts (translated into Spanish) of the Kenner ESB version. However, it was casted in a lighter orange color than the Kenner version. The Tie Fighter and the Twin Pod are the toughest to find and have become premium items. |
