INTRODUCTION
This unique figure with bendable knees made exclusively for this assortment was a great compliment to the vehicle that was pretty much taken off the Kenner mold. The lightsaber handle squared off making it easier for Luke to hold due to the shape of his hand.

Soaring at amazing speeds on reconnaissance and patrol duties, the Imperial Speeder Bike is a slim, single-person repulsorlift conveyance. The lightweight bike can attain speeds in excess of 500 kilometers per hour. A quartet of small directional steering vanes on twin out riggings afford the speeder its maneuverability. Imperial biker scouts use two shoulder-level handgrips to control elevation and direction; a pair of rocker-pivoted pedals controls acceleration.

Located just fore of the speeders saddle is a panel of toggle switches and knob's that control communications and other vital systems. Slung beneath the speeder's frame is a single laser cannon.

This Speeder Bike uses the same Vintage mold from the past with an updated paint job and comes Luke Skywalker in Endor Gear posed to ride this machine. With a push of a button you can make the Speeder Biker explode and throw Luke Skywalker off the Bike!
