INTRODUCTION
A battle-weary but capable commander, General Carlist Rieekan was the Rebel officer in charge of Echo Base on Hoth. Rieekan had to make the difficult decision of evacuating the base that the men and women under his command had worked so hard to build. Most of the evacuation transports were able to escape Imperial pursuit and regroup elsewhere, ensuring the Rebellion's survival. Born on Alderaan, he was off-planet, inspecting a new satellite transmission system when the Death Star obliterated his home.

General Rieekan is preposed. With his finger pointing at something is kind of weird. Maybe he is giving a command or telling the troops to look over there. This figure should have come with a blaster to hold in his hand.

The tactical screen is a great accessory for your Hoth displays. Hopefully Hasbro will seek future figures to include this accessory.

For this figure set to be at the higher price range I would say is negative. For the price you are paying for a basic action figure and large accessory the set should come with two tactical screens. It retails for $14.99.
