Hasbro is back with another exclusive Black Series Trooper from Rogue One, this time with an AT-ACT Driver exclusive to Target. The AT-ACT Driver is an interesting choice because they only appear for half a second and only from behind. Even as a big Rogue One fan, I really had to think about picking this figure up. Let’s take another look at the AT-ACT Driver!
The AT-ACT Driver comes packaged in the standard Black Series box, but as an exclusive he has no number.
The figure is basically the TRU exclusive Tank Driver with a repainted Scarif Stormtrooper head.
You can swap the heads with the Tank Driver to make a pretty passable Tank Commander, though the arm paint design is slightly off for that character. The Tank Commander actually gets a bit more screen time, so I kind of wish they had made him instead.
The figure comes with the standard Rogue One era Stormtrooper blaster, which is very similar to the original blaster with a little flashlight detail added.
The figure has the solid articulation that we’ve seen a few times already. It moves pretty great with the following articulation:
-Swivel/hinge neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, and ankles
-Ball and socket head and mid-torso
-Swivel hips
-Double-hinged knees
All of the articulation moves well except for the hips as they do not hinge outward very far.
The paint is the main point in a repaint figure like this and it’s pretty decent. There is some very sharp tampo symbol detail on the helmet and the chest and shoulders. The weathering is also pretty well done. I think I’d like it if the base white color of the armor was a little more glossy as the armor is pretty glossy even when dirty.
Overall, this figure coasts on the success of earlier releases and that’s to be expected for a repaint. If you like the Tank Driver or Scarif Troopers, you’ll like this figure. I grabbed two and have definitely had enough fun with them shooting today to justify the purchase, but I’m a bit of a Rogue One fanatic.
