SWTOTW, Week 39, 2019, Part 1/2, AT-AT Driver

AT-AT Driver:

Ok it was not easy to find a good picture of the AT-AT driver from the front in the movie :shock:

The AT-AT Driver. As Lars points out above, we never actually get to see an AT-AT Driver's full helmet (ooh er, missus!) from the front in 'The Empire Strikes Back', although we do get several nice shots of the back of them! The best the film can offer is about a third of the front of one of them, but that didn't stop Kenner! Undeterred, they gave us the AT-AT Driver figure, and it's pretty great. True, he has a truly rubbish rifle which he can't hold properly, his head doesn't turn, and he has a rather bulbous sculpted ass which, much like the Imperial TIE Fighter Pilot, somewhat limits his leg movement. BUT, he can sit down! And that's all that's really required of him when you stick him inside the simply fabulous AT-AT Walker Kenner also gifted us with! :-D

This figure comes in a whole host of similar, but subtly different paint schemes and grey plastic shades. The vocabulator varies in width, the black circles either side of it can be small or large, as can his eyes (with the most generous paint applications making him look like he's wearing shades :-D), the Imperial insignias on his helmet come in a range of shades of orange and even red, as does the paint used elsewhere on his helmet and back of his torso.

Anyway, here are my seven variants. He can be a tough one to find in mint condition, and I'd like to upgrade some of these in time, but for now here they are:

Your welcome, maybe you are the only one who have them on the forum :lol: ok I also have some, I will try to find all of mine today :lol:

The red emblems really do stand out, interesting.
I have no example of this great figure in my collection, I have been looking for a offerless ESB and a mint "ish" Tri Logo at a sensible price for some time now...if anyone has one for sale.

Sorry mate, it was to dark to take pictures today, it has been raining all day

I have a picture of my moc on my computer that I can share, but you guys have to wait for pictures of the rest of my collection until I get more time or better weather so the pictures do not get so dark

No MOC for me (yet) but here's my cardback and loose red logos version.
I remember never being able to find one in any of the toy shops near me when he came out, but I managed to do a swap at school for one with a stormtrooper.
