Star Wars Glasslite Droids Side Gunner (Nave Estelar de Combate) (Glasslite, 1980s)....

Description

Star Wars Glasslite Droids Side Gunner (Nave Estelar de Combate) (Glasslite, 1980s). In 1988, Brazil's Glasslite company simultaneously launched two licensed Star Wars lines: O Poder da Força and Droids. Among the vehicles released was the Nave Estelar de Combate ("Combat Spaceship"), the Brazilian edition of Kenner's Side Gunner from the Droids line. Glasslite's version retained the same basic design but was distinguished by its localized Portuguese packaging and unique decal sheet that set it apart from its U.S. counterpart. For collectors, these details have made Glasslite releases a fascinating international variant within the Star Wars universe. As part of the short-lived Droids toyline, the Side Gunner remains a cult favorite, and the Glasslite edition carries additional significance for its Brazilian production history. For collectors pursuing global variants, this Nave Estelar de Combate offers a rare opportunity to add both the charm of Glasslite packaging and the legacy of Droids to their collection.

More Information: This example is offered with its original open box, instruction sheet, and a used sticker sheet. The box shows heavy wear with creasing, corner splits, and surface loss. The vehicle itself is incomplete, missing the top cannon and bottom right gun, and exhibits handling wear and decal loss.
