Posted on by

Remember that AT-AT rocking horse that we all wanted, even though it wasn’t even painted or detailed? Well, now it is finished. Behold the rocking horse for young Imperial forces in training.

This was one of the coolest kids toys we had seen in some time and now that it is finished, it looks even cooler and we want one. Cakewrecks and EPBOT creator Jen Yates has finally finished this masterpiece and it has all the right details.

She added a seat back and an extra sturdy T-bar handle for safety, along with some extra-long bumpers on the bottom rails to prevent it from rocking too far. To quote Vader, “Most impressive!”

AT-AT Rocking Horse

From the “these kids are cooler than your kids” department comes this homemade AT-AT Walker rocking horse. Jen from Epbot created this awesome Star Wars piece with her husband. The AT-AT is made from 40 individually cut pieces of MDF. As pictured it’s only partially completed- it still needs handlebars, a seat, and a paint job. So cool and that’s one lucky geeky kid who gets to rock on that thing. (via nerd approved)

Star Wars AT-AT Walker Sled: The Empire Slides Back

Posted on by

Check out this massive AT-AT walker that doubles as a sled. It wasn’t built by the Empire, which is why it isn’t the size of a skyscraper. Doug Brewbaker, Garret Geiger, and James Groves spent 70 hours building this amazing seven-foot, eight-inch tall AT-AT Walker sled.

This incredible beast was made out of only cardboard, paper, glue, tape, and paint. This huge four-legged sled went up against 50 other competitors at the 8th Annual Cardboard Classic in Lansing, Michigan on January 25th, 2014.

Unfortunately its journey only lasted about 15 seconds as it descended down a hill. I suspect it was a snowspeeder with a tow cable that took it down.

AT-AT Rocking Horse: for Imperial Troops in Training

Posted on by

Rocking horses are so last century. Let your child rock with the might of the Empire with this Rocking AT-AT. How do you think General Veers got started? Start them young and they will pilot the Empire’s best vehicles and crush the rebellion.

Jen from EPBOT, along with her husband, are making this cute rocking AT-AT. The couple started with a template and cut over 40 pieces out of fiber board. The picture above is of their test assembly. It isn’t finished yet. They have to make sure it’s safe to ride and add paint, probably outfit it with some new Snowspeeder defenses. It looks amazing already.

It sure would look great alongside a tauntaun rocking horse.

8 Foot Tall Cardboard AT-AT Sled

The 8th annual Cardboard Classic was held last week in Lansing, MI and probably the coolest entry in the event was this giant AT-AT Walker. Contestants can build any type of sled they want, as long as it’s made only of cardboard and tape or glue. A few awesome dudes went above and beyond the standard flat sled and built a huge 7 foot 8 inch tall homage to the Battle on Hoth entirely out of cardboard. Closeup:

It took them over 70 hours to create this Star Wars masterpiece. One man actually sat down underneath as it sledded down the hill. Unfortunately the ride down the hill was about as successful as the AT-AT’s were in the Battle of Hoth but this time it didn’t take Luke Skywalker and his merry band of Rebels to take it down- just a little gravity. Check out the video of this cardboard creation heading down the hill:

The Emperor will be most displeased with this apparent lack of progress. (via cnet)

Gingerbread AT-AT Walker

Check out this awesome AT-AT Walker made from gingerbread created by Chef Aaron Lawrence from the Magnolia Hotel and Spa (in Vancouver). It’s even outfitted in a seasonally appropriate reindeer getup like one those stupid cars with the nose and antlers on it (no your car does not need to get dressed up for the holidays, thank you). I’d love to make a little tiny licorice rope and then take it down like a cookie Luke Skywalker then devour it like a jello Jabba.

Gingerbread AT-AT Plays Reindeer Games

Posted on by

At Christmas time everyone loves to wear those antler headbands, even AT-ATs. This awesome gingerbread creation captures an Imperial Walker getting in the holiday spirit. And a little snowspeeder too. I would love to wrap some tow cables around it’s legs and trip it into my hungry and waiting cartoon mouth. Nom nom nom.

This beautiful sculptural treat was made by Magnolia Hotel & Spa in Victoria, Canada. More specifically their hotel restaurant Catalano has created this gingerbread masterpiece for the Canadian National Gingerbread Showcase in partnership with Habitat for Humanity Victoria.

The best part is the red nose. You can almost see other AT-AT Reindeer not letting him join in on their AT-AT Reindeer games. Awesome job guys and gals.
