Hi,
This week for A.R.Ms, I'm gonna review one of the Star Wars/Transformers crossover action figure from Hasbro. This is the Snowspeeder/Luke Skywalker action figure. This was the packaging that came with it.
I would say this particular model, from a Transformers point of view is a deluxe figure. I'll start off with the figure in robot form. Btw, in robot form, it's suppose to be Luke Skywalker.
Hmmm... If you're saying to yourself...WTF? It's ok. I also thought the same way. It's safe to say, I'm not liking the robot mode. It does not even remotely resemble Luke. I like the helmet...but thats about it.
A close up view of 'Luke' and err...his beard?Articulation wise, I can't really say much. I'm not gonna display it in this form anyway. Now moving on, you transform it to the Snowspeeder. Comparing it to the model made by Hasbro for Power of the Force and the one you'd see in the movies, I'd say this comes close to perfection. It is very detailed with minor differences(not in terms of size of course).
It's just too cool You can open the cockpit and they even provide a tiny figure of (I'm assuming) Luke Skywalker.
Tiny Figure fits nicely in cockpitIf they really wanted to go the extra mile, they could've done 2 things. First, had another rebel pilot at the back of the cockpit to man the laser/harpoon gun. 2nd, if you remember your Star Wars movie, you'd remember when the snowspeeder turn the flaps would open.Now that would have been super duper cool feature.
Notice how the flaps open in the movie
The flap does open but at different angle. :(
Battle damage and the metal plates are part of the design. Very detailed for a small vehicle. Overall, a good action figure. If not for the robot mode(transformers), then get it for the Snowspeeder vehicle. For Star Wars fans, its will be a nice addition to your collection.
