Titanium Series Ultra Star Wars Vehicles

Hasbro invites you to take your Titanium Series collection to the next level with the new Titanium Series Ultra Star Wars vehicles. Each of these hefty die-cast vehicles feature surprising action features, display stands, and intricate micro-detailing - including an embossed mini Titanium Series logo under each vehicle.

Beginning with the X-wing fighter and Republic Gunship, the Titanium Series Ultra vehicles will launch exclusively at Wal-Mart this fall. In January 2006, more vehicles will be made available at most retailers where Star Wars toys are sold.

X-wing fighter
The X-wing fighter is more than just your average starship -- it is the cornerstone of the Rebellion's starfighter corps. The ruggedly built X-wing fighters are propelled by sublight engines and are armed with laser cannons and proton torpedoes. Each fighter is equipped with an astromech droid, which serves as a co-pilot and technician during intense space battles against the evil empire.

Features: landing gear, opening cockpit, and display stand.

Republic Gunship
The Republic Gunship is the primary vehicle used by clone troopers to transport infantry and attack enemy forces. When used a battle, this gunship is capable of raining down a barrage of powerful lasers and rockets. Versatile in nature, the Republic Gunship can provide air-to-air ground support quickly and effectively.

Features: opening cockpit and display stand.
