The upcoming entry to the Star Wars saga, The Mandalorian & Grogu, promises to delve deeper into the remnants of the Empire. While the New Republic struggles to maintain order, pockets of Imperial loyalists continue to occupy the Outer Rim’s most hostile environments. Among these forces are the specialized AT-RT Drivers, soldiers tasked with piloting the agile All Terrain Reconnaissance Transport machines across treacherous terrains.
Hot Toys has captured the gritty, weathered aesthetic of these survivors with remarkable precision. Unlike the pristine stormtroopers of the original trilogy, these Remnant forces show the wear and tear of years spent in exile. The 1/6th scale Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver collectible figure serves as a testament to the resourcefulness and persistence of the Imperial shadow.
You can currently pre-order the Remnant AT-RT Driver from Sideshow for $240.00. If you want to spend some extra and get the AT-RT as well, they have a combo pre-order for $480.00 as well.
Exceptional Detail and Weathered Craftsmanship
The standout feature of this new figure is the newly developed helmeted head sculpt. Hot Toys has utilized expertly applied weathering effects to simulate the dirt, grime, and battle damage typical of the Remnant era.
The armor itself is a highlight for fans of screen-accurate detail. The newly developed weathered armor plating sits atop a greige-colored coat. What sets this piece apart is the realistic flocked texture of the coat, specifically tailored to evoke the look and feel of cold-weather gear. The layering of the armor over the heavy fabric creates a silhouette that is both functional and menacing, perfectly fitting the “lived-in” universe aesthetic that fans love.
Combat-Ready Accessories and Articulation
No Imperial scout is complete without a formidable arsenal, and the Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver is well-equipped for any skirmish. The figure includes:
- DLT-20A Blaster Rifle: A long-range weapon perfect for picking off resistance fighters from a distance.
- SE-14r Blaster Pistol: A sidearm for close-quarters encounters, which fits snugly into the weathered belt holster.
- Custom Tailoring: The figure features specialized pants and long boots designed to allow for maximum poseability while maintaining the heavy-duty look of a cold-weather pilot.
To round out the presentation, Hot Toys has included a specially designed snow-themed figure stand. This base allows collectors to recreate the atmospheric environments seen in the film’s early promotional materials, providing a stable and cinematic platform for display.
Building Your Imperial Army
As the Mandalorian and his apprentice prepare for their big-screen debut, the Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver offers collectors a chance to bolster their Imperial ranks.
Whether you are a long-time collector of 1/6th scale figures or a new fan looking to commemorate the upcoming film, this AT-RT Driver is a must-have. Its unique textures and heavy weathering make it a standout piece that adds depth and realism to any Star Wars shelf.
