The STAP itself features adjustable turret\/yoke, handlebars and foot pegs to allow the included Battle Droid to achieve various in-flight poses. The sturdy display base also features an adjustable center section to allow you to tilt the STAP and Battle Droid for additional dynamic poses. The included battle droid is a redeco of their first release and molded in a slightly different color. He features plethora of articulation and is, in essence, a mini-maquette of the Battle Droid CGI model. On my particular sample, the included backpack attaches the to the droid much better as the first Infantry Battle Droids&#8217; packs tended to fall off rather easily. The droid affixes to the STAP by way of magnets built into the feet and foot controls &#8211; an ingenious idea &#8211; and the multi-joint hands allow him to grasp the controls firmly.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong>CONS:<\/strong>\u00a0Cost and displaying a piece of this size may be an issue for some and sadly the included blaster rifle still does not attach to the droids backpack.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/TGuide2004\/html\/Sideshow\/ssc_STAP_battledroid.html\">Head to the toyguide<\/a>\u00a0for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this piece worth adding to your collection.<\/p>\n<p>You can also weigh in with your impressions on the items we add to our toyguide on\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Yakfacecom\/202559486798?ref=mf\">facebook<\/a>\u00a0and in our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yakfaceforums.com\/\">forums.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Yakface Toyguide\u00a0updates resume today with the addition of the 1:6 Scale STAP and Battle Droid\u00a0from\u00a0Sideshow Collectibles.
