The first
Star Wars: The Force Awakens toy to enter my collection is this Mattel die-cast version of
Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle!
I received this spaceship for Christmas from my parents, and that alone makes it incredibly awesome. The very first Star Wars die-cast toys I ever owned (an X-Wing and a Tie Fighter) were given to me by my parents way back in the late seventies. And here it is (was,) Christmas 2015, and my parents are again giving me a Star Wars spaceship. We live in awesome times indeed.
Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle really doesn't do much in The Force Awakens, but it sure looks imposing (more like something the Romulans might fly around in than a Sith shuttle, to be honest). This tiny version doesn't have any moving parts, but the movie version's wings fold down like the original trilogy Imperial Shuttles.
The stand is a great design, serving as both a very stable place to display your ship and a sort of 'ring' to place your finger in for hyper-drivin' fun!
Cool. How tall is it?
ReplyDelete3 inches tall. The stand adds a little more than 2 more inches, giving the overall setup a bit over 5 inches in height.
DeleteIt's a neat piece and super cool in the fact it's from your folks.
ReplyDeleteSo true!
