The Power Of The Force T-16 Skyhopper Review

Hasbro released the Power of the Force T-16 Skyhopper for 3 3/4" Star Wars action figures in 1997 as a wide retail release with a suggested retail price of $19.99. Originally, the T-16 was only seen parked in the Lars Homestead garage in A New Hope, and we had to wait until the special edition of Return Of The Jedi to get a look at the vehicle in air during the final celebration sequence. This 1997 release remains the only full-sized T-16 Skyhopper vehicle Hasbro has ever made available for the 3 3/4-inch line.

Cruisemissile Trooper Review

Released in 1997 as part of Hasbro's Star Wars: Power of the Force line, the Cruisemissile Trooper arrived as a mainline vehicle at a retail price of $12.99. Even though the Cruisemissile Trooper never appeared in any of the Star Wars films, it stands out as one of the earliest modern-era Expanded Universe-style toys, long before that label became commonly used. For collectors of 3 3/4-inch Star Wars toys, the Cruisemissile Trooper remains one of the more unusual and memorable vehicle releases from the late 1990s.

POTF2 Airspeeder Review

Released in 1997 during Kenner and Hasbro’s Power of the Force 2 line, the Airspeeder was a mainline retail release with a very reasonable price tag of $14.99. Designed for 3 ¾-inch Star Wars action figures, this vehicle was not an exclusive and could be found at major retailers at the time. What made it especially appealing was the inclusion of an exclusive Airspeeder pilot figure based on a Ralph McQuarrie concept sketch, making the Power of the Force Airspeeder an attractive offering for collectors who appreciate early Star Wars concept art.
