STAR WARS EPISODE I " ARMORED SCOUT TANK w/ BATTLE DROID "
It's hard to like the Trade Federation and those no-good battle  droids, but they clearly had some of the coolest vehicles inStar  Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace. This 6-inch-long armored scout  tank was one of them and crucial to the federation's blitzkrieg  invasion of Naboo. The plastic hovertank comes with realistic details  like blast marks and smoky exhaust vents, but its neatest feature is a  spring-loaded laser cannon mounted to the side. Just turn the knob in  back to shift the pilot droid right and left in its seat, launching the  two 3-inch-long projectiles one at a time. The plastic 4-inch-tall  droid figure has articulated shoulders, hips, and head, and it bears  the unmistakable blue markings of a pilot.--Paul Hughes
