Toy Reviews / AT-RT Review
« on: April 21, 2005, 11:15 PM »
I managed to finally find one of these today and figured I'd share a few thoughts on the figure/vehicle.
Driver: This has to be one of the most craptacular figures I have ever seen. The figure has 5 points of articulation, Head, Shoulders waist and right elbow....that's it. So, basically, the figure can only sit on the AT-RT. I've heard rumors that the paint on this figure is hit or miss from some earlier reports from people who found it on 2 April, but the ones I saw at Target today were just fine IMO.
Vehicle: For a small vehicle, it's pretty cool. Not a whole lot of detail in the sculpt of the parts, and not much paint, but it has it where it counts. There's a small painted display between the "handle bars" which looks pretty neat. There's also a pivoting Chin Gun and a walking feature which requires two AA batteries. The walking feature is what makes this vehicle worht having IMO. It works great on tile/wood floors or couter/desk tops, and I evenhad it walking on the carpet in my place, albiet not as well as the non-carpeted floor. Really freaked out my cat too!
Overall, I'd give this figure/vehicle a 3 out of 5. There's a lot of playability with the vehicle, but the one-dimensionality of the figure brings it down. If they had made the legs articulated so the figure could be on it's own away from the vehicle, this thing would be great!
