OTC AT-AT Driver

Another sculpt from quite a few years ago that’s aged well. As one could expect, he doesn’t feature the insane amounts of articulation a newer figure does, but the sculpt for this figure is unhampered by such complexities. For a pilot, the simplicity goes a long way in improving the figure’s overall look.

The AT-AT Driver hasn’t seen many sculpts over the years, the most recent being the Legacy version from 2009. On the surface, that figure would seem more attractive for its added articulation and removable helmet, but those features weaken the definition of the sculpt, making this one far more attractive visually. With the swivel elbows and wrists, this version can do really all the posing he needs.

This version has been sold a lot since he came out in 2006, and can be had cheaply today. To me, this is the kind of figure that makes collecting Star Wars toys fun. It’s an old figure, but it’s satisfying, and that’s what makes it fun to go back and discover.
