Hasbro Reveals 'Rogue One' Walking AT-ACT & More At #SDCC

By: Benjamin Hart

Today's Hasbro panel at San Diego Comic Con was full of surprises, including the reveal of several upcoming 6-inch Black Series figures. In addition, we got our first look at some more toys for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Yesterday a covered display case was spotted at the Hasbro booth, which led us to believe more action figures from Rogue One would be unveiled, in addition to the recently announced Jyn Erson Black Series figure. As it turns out, they didn't just have action figures to reveal.

At the panel the Hasbro team showed off 3.75-inch scale AT-ACT, as seen in the trailer for Rogue One. By far the biggest selling point the vehicle has to offer is the fact that it actually walks! The walker can be controlled via your smartphone and can even fire Nerf darts. The previously covered display case turned out to be a Scarif diorama that included three of the walkers in motion. The sides of the walker fold out and can carry action figures.

In addition, they revealed three 3.75-inch figures that are included with the AT-ACT; Jyn Erso, a AT-ACT driver and Imperial Astromech. You can see those in the Photo below, courtesy of Toy Ark:


We can assume this set, along with all other Rogue One collectibles, will be in stores on Force Friday on September 30th.

    1. I totally agree! I love the highly articulated figures much more than these that only have 5. Won't buy the ones with just 5

    3. The great thing about the 3.75 inch figs is that they make a lot more characters then they do for the black series

  2. For fans of the classic figures, 5 points of articulation is no let down at all.

    1. Then buy vintage figures. Things have evolved since 1978.

  4. 5 points for people who leave them in bow is no big deal. But for kids 5 is awful. Can't pose them or do much of anything

  6. These look to be pretty small... Wonder how they compare to the big AT AT

  7. We kids like articulation, 5POA is lesser quality and cheap. We like to pose figures not use our imagination. Things have evolved not to go back to older technology. This is Star Wars by the way.

  8. Am not biting for this 5 poa crap. I was caught with The Force Awakens. Very clever marketing because I now have the main characters in all 3 formats, when all I wanted was 3.75" articulated. Well that is all I will buy this time around and I have more patience than last year.
