This ship is awesome!!! The wings fold up, the guns move, the cockpit opens, there's a compartment for passengers, there's landing gear,and(*pant*)there's a ramp that lowers down. It comes with a really nice Darth Vader figure, and an okay Imperial guard. The gaurd's not that great because he can't do much (joints). Another problem is that the guns won't shoot anything. Don't let that keep you from buying this great ship! In fact, just forget I said anything bad about it. It is the Bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This review is from: Star Wars Saga '06 Exclusive Vehicle Imperial Shuttle with Darth Vader & Red Royal Guard Action Figures (Toy)

When this was released I gasped! I purchased it immediately, upon opening it, I realized it was just a re-release of the older model. It does not mean that it is a bad ship, I just wish that Hasbro would of re-tooled it.

The cockpit is very, very basic. Just two slits for a pilot and co-pilot. One feature that I always liked about the Imperial Shuttle was that you can see the entire inside of the ship from the cockpit.

Directly behind the cockpit is the boarding ramp. Which serves its purpose. You can create some very cool scenes with the ramp. When the ramp is lowered, it can extend to meet the surface of what it is sitting on.

The cargo hold is behind the boarding ramp. It is accessed by removing the right side shell of the hull. (same mold as the old one) The cargo hold is a little funny....it has a bench that seats 2-3 figures. It also has pegs on the floor built in however, they are way too big for modern day Star Wars figures. A lot of the hull is not tall enough to stand figures anyhow. There are some steps that lead to the boarding ramp/cockpit. Overall the interior is very basic with little color (all white). With a little imagination, paint and super glue you might be able to spice it up a bit.

The landing gear is the same as the old ship. The rear two struts fold into the ship, and the third is completely removable. (Which doubles as a handle)

The wings are massive! This is the best asset of this ship. They fold up and down, just like the movie. The third is obviously stationary. Overtime I can see it getting loose though.

The rear of the ship, where the engines are fold down to reveal........nothing. That's is where the batteries used to go on the older ship.

Pros:
Massive!
Cool wings
Moving cannons
Interior
Boarding ramp

Cons:
Very basic cockpit
Very basic interior
No electronics?
Same mold as the old one......

Overall, I paid about the same price listed above. So no biggie there. I really wish Hasbro would have re-tooled this like they did with the Slave 1. It still holds a very special place in my fleet, I mean come on....it is an Imperial Shuttle.

BTW, it does come with a Darth Vader and Royal Guard figures....nothing spectacular with these, considering the newer released version.

My son enjoys playing with this ship. It is close to the one in the movie.
It has a small cargo/transport hold on it. Toys like this help childerns communication skills and their imagnation though play.
