Background

It breaks apart when you push a button and will crash upon impact. Cords will make gun and body parts easy to reassemble. Includes two unique die cast figures.

The Snowspeeder is one of several Micro Collection vehicles that has the special "crash" feature. The others vehicles include the X-wing and Tie Fighter. All these vehicles came with special "battle damaged" stickers. The Snow Speeder vehicle was only available through Sears department stores.

Features

This vehicle has one of the coolest features of any of the Kenner Star Wars toys. It has a special "crash" feature that allows it to break into 4 pieces, to simulate a collision in space and then can be restored to normal. This is done by pushing on a button in the rear of the ship which allows it to seperate. The Snow Speeder is held together by an internal cord that also allows it to snap easily back into place.

The Snow Speeder also has a cockpit that opens and closes for easy access to the pilots.
