Uh...no. The "real" AT-ST had a box-like mechanism in between the head and
legs that housed a weight shifter and motors to move the head up, down,
left, and right. They totally skipped this, so not only does it look unlike
it is supposed to, but the head can't move, always in the direction of the
legs. Even as a toy, this totally stinks. Also, with the way they designed
it, you only need one fig to drive it; there should be one to drive and one
to operate the head and guns. But since now theres no way to target and
move the head, I suppose it only needs one figure.
This, coupled with the fact that the set has nothing but Chewbacca, make it
a horrible dissapointment.

I'm upset they didn't give it an Imperial driver. It was the least they
could do. They wen't *way* too far with the AT-ST.
