Description: Being a Star Wars Fan I grew up with many toys and figures that rezembled the actual charaters and vehicles, but were a little far from what I cosidered "Displayable" pieces. I understand that for a company to present a toy to be played with by 5 year olds and up that they have to follow a particular protocal so kids don't swallow pieces and end up sueing companies, but as a collector and perfectionist, I like my displays to resemble a certain likeness to that of the actual models and prtotypes used in the films. So once again I took my books and saw what needed to be changed and went for it. The actual toy never had a place for the figure to place their feet (or pedals) so the goal here was to make that and to make in a way where the figure looked like he was grabing the handels and not holding a gun. So I also had to modify the handels so the character held it side ways and not up and down. And once again, this was way before Hasbro made changes to their speeder bikes to look the way they do now which my changes still show better details than the new one. I recently got the new AT-AT Walker and it came with a new and improved "snow-speeder bike" (which was never in the movie) and the changes they made were a little closer than before, but not quite all there.
