SDCC Mattel Exclusives Are All The Rage, Especially Star Wars

The hope of a rebellion against a dominating ruthless force was center stage when Return of the Jedi was released to theatres in May 1983. Audiences around the world flocked to witness the thrilling conclusion of the original Star Wars trilogy. Who would triumph? The Rebel Alliance or the Empire?
This Hot Wheels® Starships Select™ vehicle showcases a pivotal and triumphant moment. Han and Leia are suddenly outnumbered when an ominous AT-ST stomps into view. All hope is lost…or is it? Suddenly, Chewbacca swings open the hatch revealing himself and some of their Ewok comrades. The Rebellion has a chance. Now is their moment for victory over the evil Empire, bringing peace back to the galaxy.
Celebrating Return of the Jedi's 40th Anniversary, the vehicle features incredible details, a die-cast AT-ST, and highly decorated Chewbacca figure, raising his hand signaling victorious momentum.
