INTRODUCTION
Droid Starfighters, also known as Vulture Droids are sent out in vast numbers to overwhelm Republic Forces. They are capable of skillful maneuvers in aerial and space battles and are armed with blaster cannons and torpedoes. On land, they position their wings into stilt-like legs for ground patrols.

This is what fans' of the Droid Starfighter / Vulture Droid have been waiting for! Unlike the Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith Droid Starfighters that were produced extremely under scale as in size and not quantity this version of the Droid Starfighter / Vulture Droid is to scale!

With action features such as the air to ground modes, pop-up head, two firing missiles, you also have on each wing tip an extra missile that is clipped on for use of a major battle! That is a total of four extra missiles!

The paint scheme is just like that out of the Clone Wars series. Towering over your figures in a battle this droid is worth having. Though I feel it is not a $19.99 priced item I can see fans purchasing many of this droid to fill up their displays and space battles.

Now can we hope that Hasbro will reuse this mold for this droid and give us the green painted version as seen in "The Phantom Menace?" I hope so.

The only issue that I can see with this item is that when the droid is converted to ground mode the joints on the wings / legs may tend to come loose over time. It is not a problem now but with the pop socket ball hinges you know just as I they will wear out.

Overall, I think this is a major upgrade to previous versions of this droid. I think all would be happy to add this into their collection.
