Watch how to make an AT-AT toy walk

Imagine getting this as a kid, a classic Palitoy AT-AT that walked on its own. Ok, maybe it’s 40 years too late for that, but watch as James Bruton makes childhood dreams a reality by constructing a 3D printed AT-AT that may not look exactly like the classic original but certainly walks the walk.

Everybody wanted an AT-AT from The Star Wars. Wow – it was a really exciting toy, or was it? Yeah it’s legs move and that, and the 80s ones had guns that moved, and lit up! You put your hand in to operate its head, and you can move the legs – with your hands! But wouldn’t it be better if it walked along?
