Jumping right in, the AT-AT driver comes fitted in your iconic white and grey standard-issue uniform which is very well done, fits snug enough to look sharp on display, but loose enough for endless poses. He comes with 6 total hands, as mentioned above, to supports various poses, these of course can also be mixed and matched for a custom look. If you ordered directly from Sideshow, you get both the BlasTech E-11 Blaster and the Blaster Rifle. I think I will display mine with the BlasTech E-11 in hand and the rifle over the shoulder.

The real beauty on this piece is the detail in the helmet which is connected by the pressure hoses to a his life support system. The helmet is dead on from the movie, the paint lines are crisp and clean and there are even little details like the red paint missing on one side of the aluminum tusks in the recessed areas of the chin, two small squares on either side of the Mohawk (left side is red, right side is silver). It sports the two red Imperial cog symbols on either side of the Mohawk. It’s flawless!

The chest armor and chest box are also detailed, right down to the circuit details and “greeblies” on front of chest box. Attached to the box we have the two grey ribbed hoses that run from rear helmet canisters, over the shoulders and down to the chest box. The back of the armor has the “circuit board” pattern and various board plates.  The standard “moon boots” finish off a truly beautiful piece by Sideshow. The time and attention to detail can be seen on this from head to toe!

The figure stands great on his own, but does come with your standard black stand if desired.  The figure sells for $209.99 and can be pre-ordered right now at this link.  We would like to thank Sideshow for providing this early review sample to share with our readers, this is a welcome addition to the collection!
