AT-AT Imperial Walker, Episode V, Limited Edition

Limited to 1,000 worldwide, Master Replicas' AT-AT Imperial Walker was recreated from the original studio models used in The Empire Strikes Back. The Empire used the All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) as a gigantic four-legged transport and combat vehicle to assault rebel ground troops. The replica is made from durable resin with injection-molded ABS plastic components and die cast metal parts. Attention to detail was paramount in the production of this piece, and it comes complete with a custom display case, numbered plaque, plaque stand, and certificate of authenticity. The dimensions of the AT-AT are approximately 20-inches in length, 6-inches in width, and 19-inches in height.Product specifications, pricing and shipping dates are subject to change.Prop Story The Empire maintains order by striking fear into its member star systems. Few weapons of mass destruction instill terror in an enemy more effectively than the fearsome All Terrain Armored Transport (AT-AT) or Imperial walker. Exploiting its almost-unlimited resources, the Empire has produced a mobile weapons and troop deployment vehicle that is equally capable on almost any of the varied worlds spread throughout the galaxy. Standing on four, piston-driven hydraulic legs, each ending in a huge shock-absorbing footpad, the AT-AT Imperial walker reaches a height of fifteen and a half meters. Equipped with two side-mounted quad-blasters and two chin-mounted heavy blaster cannons, it is capable of inflicting massive damage to enemy emplacements; while its own densely armored panels can deflect even the heaviest of incoming blaster fire.A series of models ranging in size from about two-inches high, to approximately four-feet tall, were used to bring this behemoth to life in The Empire Strikes Back. Using the technique of stop-motion animation, the AT-AT was moved incrementally one frame at a time to achieve the illusion of movement. Projected at the normal film rate of 24 frames per second, the AT-AT gracefully thunders across the icy Hoth battleground.To create the 19-inch high, articulated stop-motion models, the talented artisans of Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) built a master pattern, detailing it with hundreds of parts taken from model kits such as jet fighters, rockets, and tanks. This master was molded, and copies were cast in resin and assembled onto machined metal articulated skeletons. The resin and metal parts were attached using dozens of tiny screws. If you watch carefully, you will see that many of these screws are actually visible on the AT-AT Imperial walkers in the film!Master Replicas chose to copy the 19-inch models in exact 1:1 scale for our first studio-scale vehicle replica. MR employed a number of processes in creating the ultimate, authentic replica of the AT-AT Imperial walker. They first consulted ILM model makers about the construction and function of the original models and reviewed images of the models published since the movie's first release. Most im
