Product Description
Scaled to interact with 3 ” figures, the Star Wars 2010 Super Deluxe AT-AT Walker measures approximately 24″ tall x 28″ long x 12″ wide, is designed to carry a total of 20 figures, 6 of which can be used as crew for the AT-ATTMs head cockpit; the Super Deluxe AT-AT is accompanied by a 3 ” AT-AT Driver and a deployable Speeder Bike. Bearing dimensions sufficient to crush all opposition and thoroughly terrorize all enemies of the Empire, the quadrupedal AT-AT stands 22.5 meters tall. Crewed by a pilot, gunner/copilot, deck officers and a commander, the AT-AT is capable of housing forty or more troops, and as many as five Speeder Bikes and two AT-ST vehicles. Powered by an FW62 compact fusion drive system, the AT-AT is equipped with an MS-1 fire-linked heavy laser cannon, medium repeating blasters, and Durasteel footpads. During the EmpireTMs assault on the Rebel AllianceTMs Echo Base on Hoth, lumbering AT-AT Walkers, pitted against the AllianceTMs Snowspeeders, comprised a large portion of the Imperial occupation. Later, Walkers were used to patrol the EmpireTMs holdings, in conjunction with Death Star IITMs shield generator, on the moon of Endor.

I just bought this at TRU this afternoon. It is truly huge with great play value. While the old style AT-AT was prone to have pieces bust off of it, this one is made to “break-away” at the guns so you can store it or cart it around safely.
There are dozens of electronic sounds and chatter and space enough for all the snowtroopers you can fit. The legs move well – I stood this up on a lumpy bed with the legs posed like a trotting horse (one side together, the other side apart) and it still stood up.
The only things I would have done differently would be a)include weights in the feet (though there is plenty of space to add your own) to anchor it more securely, and b)make it larger!
I paid $159.99 for the new Millenium Falcon and this was only $99.99. I would have paid another $60.00 if they could have made it bigger! Ah, well – it’s probably the best value for it’s class and size of toy in several years.
Your kids will go bonkers – Hell, I’M going bonkers and I wish I was seven again so I could really sink deep and play instead of just setting it up. Mine is crushing the new 2010 snowspeeder as Luke leaves Dack’s lifeless plastic corpse to the crushing tread of the Imperial AT-AT. The 2009 removable helmet AT-AT drivers are commanded by the new 2010 TVC Commander. The new TVC Hoth Han Solo (great figure!) looks on helplessly with his repair tools from the crippled Falcon.
Too cool…
Where’s my nephew so I have a good excuse?
Old age sucks, but one can afford more.

This is an awesome Star Wars Vehicle! The AT-AT is my favorite Empire vehicle from any of the Star Wars movies and I could not wait for this one! Hasbro did NOT disappoint on this one!! This vehicle goes in line with the other larger Star Wars vehicles such as the Millennium Falcon, the AT-TE and the Clone Turbo Tank! It is a must have for any kid OR collector. The retail price was only $99.99, which was super surprising for a toy with this many features and this size. I may have been a lucky one though to get it for $99.99 from Amazon. It seems to have gone up in price as of now. Hopefully, it will change.
Here are the Pros:
- Its BIG: It measures over 2 feet tall and over 2 feet long! Not exactly to scale with figures, but close enough. This one looks much more accurate to the movie than the older mold from the early 90′s and 00′s (plus it is way bigger) Very nice detail on the entire vehicle.
- There is a TON of space inside for putting figures in (about 6 in the cockpit and 10-12 in the body). Also, one AT-AT driver is included.
- Includes Speeder bike that can be stored and launched from the rear of the vehicle. (you can fit 2 speeder bikes side by side in the back)
- A retractable rope hook for hanging Luke Skywalker (sold separately)
- Real movie sounds and phrases from the Empire Strikes Back (over 10 different phrases and 8 different vehicle sounds)
- Shooting missiles from the cheek guns of the head.
- Main body area can open from BOTH sides to reveal your snow troopers.
- Fully articulated legs at the hip and knee joints. Articulated head with handle that can move head up, down, side to side. (Very Cool)
- VERY SOLID! This vehicle is great for playing with. It should not fall apart very easily, so it is a great addition to all kids who love Star Wars! AND it is pretty simple to put together out of the box and actually pretty fun.
- Very minor sticker application (I really hate applying stickers)
Here are the Cons: (which are not really cons because this vehicle is so awesome!)
- The legs are a little hard to move. You have to use a little force to get them to move and sometimes it is hard to get them in the positions you want them in.
- Wish they included more figures with such a large vehicle.
That is about it! I highly recommend this for anyone who is a fan of Star Wars! You will NOT be disappointed. It is a lot of fun and just a great center piece for your Star Wars Collection!! Thank you Hasbro for releasing such an awesome representation of the AT-AT!!

This new AT-AT is truly awesome and it has loads of excellent features that the old Kenner one was seriously lacking. For example the feet on the old one are way two small, and could barely crush a snowspeeder, but could crush a Star Wars figure no problem. With the head on the old version you could only fit just two figures, whether they be two snow troopers, a snow trooper and an AT-AT driver, two snow troopers etc. Unlike the old vintage head, which was more of a cockpit, this new improved version could definitely be classed as a small command centre. Although this new AT-AT isn’t in 100th percent scale with the 3-3/4″ figures, it still is an incredible toy nonetheless. One thing I’ve always wondered was, if you went back in time to 1982 or 1983, and brought along all these new super upsized vehicles, and showed some kids who had the original one’s, I’d say they would be mad jealous and really blown away.
The detail is really great, and I noticed that quite a few of the details are indeed correct according to the DK cutaway guides. In The Dorling Kindersley cutaway book it shows that the AT-AT has two floors/decks in the back, but considering this toy AT-AT does not have two floors/decks, it does however have technically two or three decks, even though they are not directly above one another. I also love the way the head on this one does not droop down like the old one. It only droops down if you have the handle out. Specking of the head, it has lots of space, although I feel six figures in the head starts to look a bit on the cramped side. I think five figures look great. You can have the two AT-AT drivers at the front, General Veers standing directly behind them, and two Snow troopers standing at the back. Overall the proportion is brilliant in comparison to the vintage walker and obviously it’s way bigger too. I really love the garage section at the back. I managed to fit two Imperial speeder bikes in there side by side. It can also double as another troop hold. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
It’s huge, and in much better scale to the figures.
The feet are massive and can crush the new snowspeeder without much trouble.
The legs are well articulated.
The detailing underneath is brilliant, and you can see the turbines.
The head is amazing and you fit up to five figures comfortably, although you can fit six, it starts to look a bit cramped.
The body section is very detailed. It has railings, computer consoles, lights and best of all; it has rappelling platforms for snowtroopers and stormtroopers for them to access the vehicle.
Both sides of the body cavity open up.
It has a proper grappling hook for Luke this time!
It has struts for the feet just like the Dorling Kindersley cutaway guide.
You can actually fit two speeder bikes in the back section side by side. If you take out the speeder bikes, there is loads of room for almost ten figures.
The detailing is fantastic.
It’s very very sturdy and will not fall over easily.
The sounds are brilliant.
Looks great next to the new snowspeeder.
Cons:
It’s not quite to scale.
The body section just behind the head is blocked off due to electronics.
I think Hasbro should have included two sets of guns, one that has firing missiles and another set that are very movie accurate.
Another AT-AT driver should’ve been included.
It also should have come with more battle damage stickers.
Overall I really think that Hasbro outdid themselves with this fantastic toy. Lets hope they will re-do the Sandcrawler and possibly the Imperial Shuttle as well at some stage.

HASBRO you have done it. I can put all my previous At-At walkers back in the closet because this thing is simply amazing. Standing at over 2 feet, this AT-AT is the biggest Star Wars vehicle from the line. But, the circle is not yet complete. All Hasbro has to do now is the new, bigger and improved Imperial Shuttle Tydirium from Return of the Jedi. Anyway, the new AT-AT has lines from the movie plus other new lines, many sound effects like shooting, speederbike swooshing, alarm, and many others, get it and have fun. Personally, when I got it, and opened it, and put it together, I had more fun than any other vehicle that came out. I mean, the size is overwhelming. For those who live in a small apartment and don’t have a lot of space, this is probably not a recommended purchase because of its size. It took me 1 hour to place all the decals in place, put it together, and check out all the sounds. For a Star Wars collector is a must have item. Besides my lifesize Vader, this is the center of my collection. When people come over and see it, they go – - WOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
Price is good too. If you are lucky some TRU stores have them for $89.99 which is the best deal – Amazon get it down to 89.99!

Although it was tops for its time, the old AT-AT can hold its head in discrace. This new AT-AT blows it out of the water. The boys who designed this at Hasbro should be commended.
