Vintage and POTF2 Speeder Bike

The speeder bike features a "blow apart" feature. Press a button on the toy's rear end and its entire top portion flipped forward, along with any action figure that might have been sitting on top of it. 

Speaking of figures, Kenner eventually released three perfect Speeder Bike pilots: the Biker Scout (1983), Leia in Combat Poncho (1984) and Luke in Battle Poncho (1985).
During the '90s, Hasbro issued three new Speeder Bike toys, all of which were based on the Kenner original. They can be distinguished from their vintage counterparts by their complicated paint schemes, decals and modified handle bars.
They also included a figure. 
This was one of my favorite toys back in the 80's. I found it lots of fun to reenact the speeder bike scene from Jedi. lots of fun!!!!
