Landspeeder (Sonic Controlled) put a motorized spin on Luke's Tatooine transport from A New Hope, sold through the J.C. Penney Christmas catalog beginning in 1978. Built larger than Kenner's standard Landspeeder toy with a sculpted dashboard and an internal motor, it arrived without any action figures. Clicks from the included R2-D2-shaped remote trigger the sonic steering feature, swinging the front wheel ninety degrees to reverse the vehicle's direction.

About This Figure
Landspeeder from Kenner's Vintage Collection line (Modern Era).
Hasbro's deliberate throwback to the Kenner card back — 3.75-inch scale with super-articulation and vintage-style packaging that doubles as display art. Flips between fan-favourite demand spikes.
