Small Scale Military Headquarters

Well, we finally have an Alvis Stormer armored vehicle in 1/18 scale, sort of

Anyways, I thought the Star Wars and sci-fi fans might enjoy this in case they weren’t already aware. Hasbro recent releases the latest vehicle in their Star Wars Vintage Collection line - the Imperial Combat Assault Tank (TX-225 Occupier) featured in the film, Rogue One. For the film, they used a modified British Alvis Stormer AFV as the basis for the Assault Tank. The toy is almost more of a model than a toy and is just as well detailed and functional as the best of our 1/18 armored vehicles. Lots of working features and accessories, including a fully detailed interior. Unfortunately it doesn’t come with a figure, so I had to improvise. Really an awesome Star Wars Toy/Model if you’re into this type of thing. I could see this vehicle fitting in equally as well with the GI Joe figure line or even Acid Rain or Aliens lines.

Here are some photos. Enjoy

How removable are those side cannons?

The side cannons were separate parts from the main body and could just be pulled out.

A great offering from the Hasbro line. I imagine I will be grabbing one even with the extra $$ it costs. Can't believe it didn't come with a figure. I did see the Rogue One 4 packs at a Tuesday Morning store that included the Tank Driver for $10 FYI.

The Imperial Assault Tank is definitely worth the extra cash - it’s one of the most detailed and realistic Star Wars vehicles made to date! I got one of those four pack sets, but just didn’t like the way the 5-POA figure fit in the vehicle... The 2nd wave of the Vintage Series figures that is due sometime this fall has a 3.75” Imperial tank driver figure that will be fully articulated. I’ve got several on preorder from Entertainment Earth and those figures will likely show up at mass retail as well.
