To increase the life of the rubber neck I would suggest brushing talcum power on it, perhaps once a year. Talc improves the mechanical properties of rubber compounds. It reduces gas permeability and electrical conductivity, increases resistance to UV radiation and provides good compression resistance.
Thanks for posting this! My son and I assembled this today and he loves it! We didn't know you could move the head until we watched this video, so thanks for that!
I wasn't a rich kid and I had the AT-AT Walker, The Millenium Falcon,snow speeder,Darth Vader's star destroyer with meditation chamber, Darth Vader's tie fighter, Land speeder, Tauntaun, Wampa and boatloads of action figures. I remember I wanted a millenium falcon sooo bad that i made one out of cardboard until that following christmas when I got the real thing. I just recently purchased a AT-AT walker and a X-Wing fighter. They both are so cool and so detailed I gotta collect them all.
Just picked this up a couple of weeks ago, too. LOVE IT!!! You forgot to show the trap door on the bottom and the retracting rope for pulling a figure up to the belly of this beast. It's a separate feature from the ones that pull down on the sides. You push a button and your Luke figure gets pulled right up.
I remember the best version of an AT-AT you could get after the film came out was a lame cardboard cut out background with an elevator that would slide up in to the belly of the AT-AT (Which was very small). In other words things have come a long way since then. Very awesome all around
you missed one of the other great features, you mentioned Luke climbing up, there is another pull down rope in the middle, belly area that pulls down, clips on to the figure, and press a button in the loading bay and it brings him up automatically:-)
Snow Troopers on Speeder Bikes, that's something that was done in Super Empire Strikes Back on the Super Nintendo. You actually have to shoot them down when you pilot the Rebel Snow Speeder in the 3D Hoth level. I wonder how AT-AT Walkers fit on Star Destroyers (I imagine that's where they're docked when they're not being used in battle).
I know this 13 years later but I just got one of facebook market place today and I was watching your video to figure out all the features what an awesome toy
I remember my brother reading me the guide to vehicles and vessels when we were kids and wishing the late 90s Kenner version launched speeder bikes. Well done, Hasbro. Still need to open my big AT-AT, btw.
Bought mine in the stores at the time. Got it on sale. It's a monster. It has enough seats and stations to fit 6 figures in the cockpit alone, though it'd be a tad cramped. It has enough footpegs on the fold-out doors to place close to 20 figures on those ramps alone. Enough ropes for I think 5 figures to be descending or ascending. It would very interesting to see how many figures could go in it. I imagine the optimal loadout is a combination of AT-AT drivers as crew, snowtroopers, and I suppose General Veers if one insists. The electronics and the joystick mechanism take up the first segment of the vehicle; otherwise, it could carry even more. At the time, I rebuked myself for buying such a big toy, but I'm glad I did. We won't see its like again.
God I wish I was I kid again, I always love to play with my little bro with other vehicles and make up stories and battles, and Always making the AT-AT my winning vehicle most the time, too bad I lost parts of the AT-AT and grew up to throw it away
hey @Mandalorian30 (pixel dan) you might have noticed this already but on the underside of the AT-AT is a hatch that you can open to re-create Luke cutting it open and throwing a thermal detonator in, there is also a motorised winch that you can attach to his arm to re-create his accent!
I love the big action figures and vehicles. I really hate that they went to the smaller, and now tiny, sizes. I understand it's all about the holy dollar and profit margins and such but still.. I guess it's all in what you grew up with and i grew up before the age of the "action figure", the G.I. Joe's I grew up with were still called dolls if I remember correctly. Anyway they were the big ones before they discontinued the line for the first time due to the Vietnam war, something I was only vaguely aware of anyway. I really wish I could go back and save all of them I had at one time or another as so many of them died courageous deaths on the battlefields of my neighborhood. A favorite was them sliding down a wire on fire after their positions were hit. But there were many other creative deaths as well, all of us were so very hard on our toys it's amazing any survived past childhood. If I could have only 10% back though I would be rich. I will say kids today have amazing toys, the best we had were the G.I. Joe's, Lincoln logs, erector sets, and chemical kits that had deadly chemicals that have log ago be banned from sale- almost like that comedy skit where the toy maker was offering a bag of shattered glass. Now though they have increadible toys that could spark lifelong imaginations but sadly many just choose to stay inside and play video games which require no imagination at all-with the world suffering the consequences of that really, it is very sad.
just got one of these 2nd hand yesterday in the uk , in the process of unpacking it and playing with it , it has discoloured but i will be cleaning / restoring the colour , i have vintage 80s at at too for my figures ) cost me 100 uk gbp , and your vid taught me stuff i did not know about the model , well cool ! i will test everything is complete and works i do know the fireable missiles are missing , but for a tenner on ebay you can get some reproduction missiles , so i will buy a set
The winch is meant to emulate a rappelling line that snow troopers would use to get on the battlefield. I remember reading a wookiepedia article that said that AT-ATs kneel low enough to run out a boarding ramp, when they can.
@@Tina.698 Do you know those impersontators who act like their character? Like for example, the unofficial Tony Stark, the unofficial Doctor Strange, or the unofficial Peter Parker. Thats whats happening
Great look at an amazing toy! Can't wait to decorate Nerdgasm HQ with a couple of them! Thanks for such an in-depth look at this fantastic monstrosity.
Dan , you missed the "Jedi" rope in the belly of the AT-AT. Small door opens and small hook and rope come out for "Sneak attack Luke". I got my AT-AT used and was looking for the battery compartment and found the rope. Cool toy, and good video.
Just got this giant AT AT at a Goodwill type place. It is missing much but has a few things to make me think it wasn't parted out. It's dirty beyond dirty. Still don't know where the batteries go?
@NERFHERDER76 I just started thinking they were kept in something like capsules which launch from the Destroyers themselves (like the Probe Droids). Then again, how would you get them back to the Destroyer, is there like a carrier ship or something? I don't even have any walkers (AT-TEs or AT-RTs used by the Clone Troopers or even the AT-ATs or AT-STs used by the Empire). The only (Star Wars) vehicles I have are some Micro Machines & even the little ships that came with the Galactic Battles
Great review! its definitely one of the best pieces ever made..the GI Joe Flagg and Defiant might be the only pieces that are more awesome then the ATAT and Falcon.
He forgot to show the small hatch under the belly wich can open and you can pull a small winch down where basically you can recreat the seen from EP5 where he blows the ATAT up with a thermal detonator
That is one of the most ameyzing toys with I even seen in my life iam going to buy. it and is that a hard plastic or plastic with going to broke on two days?
+Alien8765 It's a durable plastic imported to the empire in the late 1980's so guess its ok , there still is alot round on ebay 2nd hand for durable price
I have this version of the AT-AT. I bought it on sale @ TRU in October 2010 for $90.00! It is an amazing must-have for any SW fan. Throw in some snowtroopers and an AT-AT Commander and have fun with it, lol!
pixel dan i watched a video and there was a thing on the very bottom of the at-at and it was the hatch where luke skywalkers bombs the at-at is that cool :D?
even as a teenager i can see myself playing with this thing for ours:D, actually bought the Tie Bomber from the vintage collection, might even make an unboxing video of it but i´m getting the AT-AT for sure, just sad that the vehicle sets in the vintage line dosen´t include figures:(
Go to toys r us. They are known as the official star wars toy shop. I brought my at at walker for $130 and my x wing for $59. A few years ago they had the millenium falcon for $250. But if u go on amazon and other toy stores, you'll find what ur looking for, but at a higher price. Now the new 2 1/2 foot millenium falcon on amazon will run u abt $500 to $600. Can anyone say OUCH?
Does anyone know where the cheapest place I can get this is at the moment (in the UK). I'm seeing Amazon unsurprisingly is so far at £140. How much you guys in the US paying?
Hey pixel dan, you forgot the under carriage of the AT AT Walker. There's actually a compartment where you can lower a string down for the famous Luke Skywalker scene where he gets under the AT AT and throws the bomb inside it.
You didn't show the lower device that raises people underneath the walker. That's the device you use to recreate that Luke scene, not the one you showed in the video
I totally have one of these things, I wouldn't worry about him breaking it, I accidentally left it out in the snow once, for like a month, finally found it, it was totally fine.
I regret not getting it muchly.... It struck me as being somewhat costly (cheapest available at the time was $80, thanks to Target's $20 off coupon) and impossible to store. Holy crap! That joystick is awesome.
A friend is selling his for 140.00, with a commander, at-at driver, and two scouts, with two white speeder bikes. It is in like new condition. I think I may actually buy it. I already have the Legacy collection Tydirioum shuttle and Millennium Falcon, so i might actually get it.
You missed a big selling point. There is a cable on the under belly that you hook Luke up to. Then you push a button inside of the AtT-AT and it pulls him up. I wish I would have picked this up a K-mart when it was $40.
I'm sorry my friend Micro Machines about done you it's the original voice if it's the original voice from the film which is the better one the one with the Moody voice all the one with the voice from the film yes it's bigger put bigger don't mean better
Great review and yes it is defenitly worth it. Pixel Dan you do know that there is a compartment on the bottom where a string comes out and Luke goes in? Well other than that great review you did a good job.
Found one of these COMPLETE in the dumpster yesterday! I was sooo excited!!!!! I love it!
I found a bag full of used needles..your find was cooler lol

Thank you
Thanks Dan, I wanted this as a kid and now as I want this one more... It looks well worth the 100 bucks
now you could probably sell it for 500$ and i woudl buy it in a heartbeat lol. wish i was 18 19 10 years ago. it woulda been incredible
its worth 800$ dollars on amazon. Glad my cousin is giving his to me.
I just LOVE how thorough this guy is with his reviews. It always puts a smile on my face...XD

does age matter great vid man MtfbwU.
I've always thought they had giant bases with platform at AT-AT height to get onto them... I think they showed this in episode 6.
I wish I had this when I was 6 years old, it would have made my mind explode.
Is this the Vintage Collection AT-AT or the 174 by Hasbro?

100 dollars? dude that worth for the epicness of the toy, i'm sold :)
I'm a huge collector too, especially star wars, but it's hard to believe there's no comments saying this guys a virgin.
I have had my at at for 7 years and the rubber hasn't come apart
Does anyone know if this is the same at-at that is currently being sold at Toys R Us?
Hard for me to tell without seeing the box this one came in. :)
Awesome man! i want to have that to!

great review like always where did u get the tmnt trolls do a review on those.
how much is it i like the at at walker that was my fav vehicle
You forgot the other winch on the bottom,it replicates the one Luke uses in the movie,have a look on the belly you will see the small door to open it.
My issue with this toy and it's older version from the 80's is that they scaled up the head piece in order to better fit action figures.
xbaxdark the head looks to scale to me
@ 5:08 I actually flinched and blinked XD
My dream is to have one of these on top of my bookshelf
I'm sorry my friend Micro Machines about done you it's the original voice if it's the original voice from the film which is the better one the one with the Moody voice all the one with the voice from the film yes it's bigger put bigger don't mean better
The first button with the laser sound effects, 4:26, sound nothing like the Star Wars sound effects.
Hats off to you too..
