Star wars Legacy AT-ST Wal-Mart Exclusive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best looking AT-ST ever produced for the star wars toy figures line, but is also the most fragile.
The original Kenner toy from the Empire Strikes Back line and all its reissues were smallish and inaccurate (Power of the Force Imperial AT-ST (Scout Walker) Vehicle, Star Wars Power of The Jedi Imperial AT-ST Scout Walker and Paploo on Speeder Bike). Now, Hasbro has finally produced a new mold and a new toy that more faithfully depicts this vehicle.
PROs:
- More movie-accurate representation: weapons, details and overall proportions and shape look great.
- Larger size: bigger cockpit fits two figures; legs extend aprox. 15 inches.
- Greater poseability: Each leg has 5 parts and 5 joints wich can perform a total 7 different motions, just as the models used in the movie. The older toy's legs had just two parts and two joints.
- Two interchangeable "chin" cannons: one movie-accurate and one action-oriented that shoots two missiles.
CONs:
- FRAGILE. Two out of three toys that I got had broken hip-leg joints COMING OUT OF THE BOX. This is very bad because these are the ones that join the legs to the body.
- Several small parts can fall or detach, so it's not for smaller children.
- Very difficult to balance (stand): the concept of the AT-ST itself is very top-heavy, so this is more a problem of the vehicle design than the toy. But the ratcheting joints move only in 60° angles, which really detracts on poseability and may put additional stress on the joints.
- No "walking" action-feature as in previous toys, but compensated by poseability and range of motion.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed by the detail, proportions and range of motion of this new AT-ST, but apalled that they can come out of the box with broken joints. Definitely this is more of a display piece that will be appreciated by older collectors but hated by children.

The All Terrain Scout Transport (AT-ST) walker strides across the ground searching for Rebel troopers. The armored vehicle's blaster cannons and concussion launcher give the walker plenty of firepower, while the height an mobility provide significant advantages during attacks.
