Star Wars POTF2 Imperial AT-AT Walker Review 

I remember riding home on my bike with this on my handle bars .

I remember the day I went to KB Toys and foudn this on discount for about half off. I was so excited. I had just gotten one of my first paychecks from one of my first jobs i had in high school. I worked at Taco Bell. I felt like an adult buying my own toys with my own paycheck. I loved this piece. I ended up giving mine to some kids when I decided I was too old for toys. That was just a phase, luckily. But a lot of my good stuff is long gone.

Great review and channel, thanks very much. I just bought one of these on ebay and I had a hell of a time getting the legs and side guns on. I finally figured out that if I placed the legs in the slot and then went under the body with both thumbs and pushed it in from under it snapped in place. With the side guns that shoot the missiles I almost gave up for fear of breaking them, but once I pointed them to the sky and pressed in they finally snapped into place. To get the missiles to shoot better press them in a few times to coil the spring. With the laser canons that make sound and light up red actually if you move the slide mechanism all the way back and move it a little more back it engages the sound/light mechanism, then if you move the slide mechanism all the way forward and press it a little more forward it engages the sound/light mechanism, you don't have to move it violently back and forth to get it to work, basically the sound/light engages when the slide is moved all the way back and all the way forward. Hope that helps some people out because it frustrated me a bit.

This was the first Star Wars toy I owned and I covered up my ears when the sound on 10:09-10:14 was heard.

I always wanted one of these ..great review my friend I really dig these

I got goosebumps just remembering how Luke destroyed the At at using a thermal detonator

I had the original so ended up passing on this one. Nice to see it up close now.

Very good review! I'm a child of the 70's and I really wanted one of these vehicles, didn't get one. So when this came out in 97, on a complete whim, I bought one. Still have it, it's on display on my little Hoth diorama. Yeah, the chin guns on mine take a bit to light up also, they will not activate if I'm gentle. So I'd guess it is a design thing.

If you "hold down" the button for a longer duration it creates the "crushing sound" your looking for.

Thank you for the review. I recently got mine misb from Japan sans manual. So quite the difference from the original which JediTempleArchives failed to mention in their site. The head controls were far more sophisticated with the canons being run by the gears while this one it is now manually. The half barrel sculpts were a throwback of the D cell size batteries which I recently learned thanks to your video.

Yeah, 1997 Kenner/Hasbro LOVED that spackled plastic stuff. The snowspeeder had it. R5-D4 had it. The Sandtrooper had it kinda. It must have been a cheap way to get more weathering into the vehicle while saving on painting.

make sure you change out the batteries because when I opened mine I was lucky they didn't corrode yet

Great review! The holy grail I never came across as a kid

Have the Kenner one. Epic toy

Sweet I have the vintage collection one and awesome video

Bought one of these at a local toy store yesterday.

I got mine in box from a toy guy at Traders Village in Grand Prairie, Tx for 50 bucks way back in 2001.

Recently I got the 1981 atat And it looks just like this with no weathering but it has lots more stickers no console in the middle and the guns don’t shoot but on the bottom guns the handle controls those by the way they light up by using the lightbulb in the go back-and-forth

These are nice detailed reviews. I do some reviews of vintage items on my channel and I think I can say yours are nice work. Bravo!

And I thought that only my AT-AT has some issues with gun sounds trigger. I was afraid that maybe it was broken in the electronics or something. Thank you for showing me another example of walker with that issue.

Bring back the walker!

I looove this!

Nice review!

Hi, I just ordered this from eBay. I got a good deal due to it missing a cheek gun and the 2 chin guns. But I got it for under 100 with shipping it came to about 80 bucks so the missing guns are no problem! I can find them if I really want them. But I’m wondering if the back door opens? I know the vintage collection one comes with a speeder in the back. So I’m wondering if this one has a door in back and if so is there room for a speeder if I want to put one in?

Man I wish I could have bought one back in the day!

I still have the original back when I was a kid from back in 1983.. and i found two of these "new" ones at the swap meet for $20 each. That I put in storage and a stupid rat chewed the crap out of the boxes😵😵😵😵😵

Is he muscular or is it padding because he is on Hoth? Great stuff as always!!! Miss you over on OOK channel

I wonder if you could just shove something inside to jam the handle into a specific position and be able to pose the head that way.

Great toy . My little fella loves it so do i

Great review. Quick question i just received one of these from ebay and the legs just sort of balance in the slots. Shouldn't they click into place? they dont' look broken but they don't click either. Any advice would be appreciated. thx

is that a grapple gun or a light saber hanging off the string?

Does anyone have or know of an easy way to remove the legs at the hip?

It is cool and it's not cheap but were going to get it from Christmas

Nice video and production value. Do people have nostalgia for 90s yet?

Mine also is hard to activate lights on blasters And I think I had to hold the First button down to activate the snow speeder crush sound

I got one of these, I painted it to look like an endor at at but it didn't look like one, instead, it looked like this cool custom. I really like it.

sick skullet bro

I have one of these.

Did they make a muddy feet version that is 1997 or 1998 as some sellers claim? I know they did in 2006, but i just bought one on ebay sayinging 1997 but i cant see any examples of boxs and packaging other than the one you have here

could u review the big at-at?

How much could one of this ones be worth? Just an estimate please

Gutted mine then crashed it into my fish tank. Underwater diorama . Fish loved all the in and outs

Where did you get it

This model is better, they improved it.

Wanted the original empire strikes version 81 never had it I knew a lad mum looked after had one
