This Star Wars toy uses sci-fi to jazz up a tried and true toy design. The Star Wars rocker takes on the style of an AT-AT and comes with an accurate accompanying paint job.
Star Wars toys tend to be some of the most creative toys because of the creativity of the movie itself. This toy won't be winning any technological awards, but the classic rocker design brings nostalgic feel to the sci-fi classic.
Jen Yates of EPBOT is the creator and she made the AT-AT rocker form the ground up. What that means is she created the entire silhouette, attached the rocking wooden pieces at the bottom and painted the rocker as well. For the parent who is looking for a geeky toy for their young child but doesn't want electronics, this is the one.
