Volkswagen Microbus Meets AT-AT: Camper Van Hothoven
February 24th, 2012
In 2011, Volkswagen had the best Super Bowl commercial, featuring a diminutive Darth Vader. This year’s commercial was fun, but it didn’t have the Star Wars tie-in as its main theme. Maybe this what Volkswagen should have done for their 2012 Superbowl commercial instead.
I can already see a storyline evolving in my mind of a poor, lonesome AT-AT Imperial Walker on the run from those pesky rebels, deciding to make babies with a Volkswagen bus and start a family.
This Volkswagen AT-AT Microbus sculpture was spotted by tech journalist Jack Schofield. While the exact origin of this elephant-like monstrosity hasn’t yet been discovered, it’s definitely fun to look at. If the photo is accurate, then someone has built a huge sculpture that features a VW bus that’s been modified to walk on AT-AT legs.
Even if it turns out to be some kind of Photoshoppery, it’s still something that will make you smile.

Definitely we’re discussing the ATAT-Veedub on our site at http://www.toycollector.com. Its one of those moment you think ‘I wish I had thought about doing this.’ I don’t think its photochopped. The only illusion here is its size. Both are scale model plastic kitsets. The Veedub is probably scale 1/24 and that will fit well with the ‘larger’ scaled kitset of the AT-AT. And ofcourse both are very available at your local hobbyshop. Very clever. I like.
