We got to talking about this a bit last night on CAFN. I almost think now it might be easier to replace the entire leg section than chop these up to add joints. Wonder what that AT-ST Legs would look like in it?

I definitely see elements of the Zentradi Battle Pod in this design.  I also see the AT-PT (below) as well.

It's probably just me, but something about it always makes me think of the Zentraedi Officer's Battle Pod from Robotech (minus the arms).

I agree, I just hope the vehicle meets standards with its limited articulation.

I know Hasbro is trying to save on tooling costs and what not, but devolving action figures and vehicles back to Kenner days doesn't seem smart to me.

I am just a bit irritated the legs don't articulate, but after the lousy joints in the legs for the larger sized AT-ST perhaps that is ok.

It might be time to head to Target...

I wasn't liking their price hikes, but it looks like their Exclusive AT-DP with AT-DP Pilot now has been place online. It is still showing out of stock online, but I am assuming the find in a store option will start registering real soon. Thanks to our friends at JTA for the notice.

The DPCI is 087-06-1382 if you're trying to locate it in stores.

BTW, I checked my closest stores and it is saying out of stock. If anyone wants to give the ole Tamer an assist on a minty boxed version of this I would be most appreciative!

I guess im pretty new to this whole community, but i dont understand why so many people care about articulation. I think all of the new vehicles from rebels are amazing.

First off welcome. And in some instances if it means more stability and there isn't a need for multiple poses I can deal with it.

However, that being said, for me it is more about the de-evolution of our figures and vehicles. We have good existing molds and tooling for decently articulated figures and vehicles while we now see prices for 5 point figures that we used to super arty figs for.

And only one store now carries a true 3 and 3/4 super articulated figure. Of course I am only scratching the surface and others will for sure chime in. And as always here, to each their own. If you enjoy whats out there great.
