Raise an X-Wing Like Yoda with This SDCC Exclusive From Hot Wheels
Next week is the first ever virtual Comic-Con at Home and now even more fans will have the opportunity to get exclusive collectibles and merchandise. Star Wars recently revealed an exclusive collectible that Mattel has made called the Hot Wheels X-Wing.
This collectible is in celebration of 40 years of The Empire Strikes Back and will allow fans to imitate the amazing moment in the film when Yoda raises the X-Wing out of the Dagobah swamps using the Force. The included X-wing has some great details including swamp greenery that would’ve gotten stuck to it.
Here’s the description that was provided:
In the swamps of Dagobah, Yoda taught an important lesson to young Luke Skywalker, who was discouraged to see his ship sinking deeper into the muck. Retrieving the ship felt impossible to Luke. But not to the Jedi Master, who seemed to effortlessly lift the crashed ship out of the water and safely deposit it on semi-dry land.
To celebrate this powerful cinematic moment and the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Mattel has unveiled a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Hot Wheels X-Wing, complete with all that greenery that was still stuck to the ship when Yoda was done. Reminiscent of the unforgettable scene, the package offers a unique feature so you can raise the X-wing out of the swamp for yourself, as it slowly rotates as if the Force were guiding it.
No price was revealed, but we know that sales will start on July 23 at 9AM PST on Mattel Creations.
