ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL (September 16, 2016) – Lighted cockpits! Audible firepower! Movable wings, gun turrets and more! Revell®’s innovative snap-together, lights-and-sound plastic model kits are returning with three new model kit vehicles from a galaxy far, far away in anticipation of the December release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Designed for ages 8 and up, the kit series includes a new Rebel ship that will make its debut in the upcoming film as well as a classic Imperial cruiser and a four-legged Imperial walker – all ready for build.
The new plastic model kits are the latest to be released since Revell introduced the Star Wars™ themed SnapTite® Build and Play™ products a year ago to coincide with the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Those four initial kits earned NPD Group’s #1-selling ranking in the model category in 2015 based on consumer purchase data.
Like their predecessors, the three newest plastic model kits deliver hyper-realistic replicas of each vehicle that also include moving parts, interior lights, and battle action sounds that bring each model to life. The pre-decorated parts permanently snap together with no need for glue, paint or tools. The lineup includes:
The model kits take up to an estimated 60 minutes to assemble, keep kids engaged for hours after the last piece is clicked into place, and utilize ABS plastic that provides durability, easy assembly, exceptional detail and interactive capabilities.
All models were designed with the same computer data used to create the movie props, resulting in strikingly accurate facsimiles of the vehicles that moviegoers experience on the big screen.
The three plastic model new kits are available on September 30 at Toys R Us, Target and Hobby Lobby stores and online at Amazon. Batteries are included.

Thanks to the fine folks at Idle Hands, we have our first look at Hasbro Rogue One Vehicles, the U-Wing and TIE Striker vehicles in package. We got a look at an official photo of the U-Wing the other day, but this is our first look at the TIE Striker vehicle. As you can see from the photos below, each vehicle comes with a figure and weapon: Cassian Andor with the U-Wing, and an Imperial TIE-Fighter Pilot with the TIE Striker. Of course each vehicle comes with a silly NERF dart as well.
Check out the photos of the new vehicles below!
