The     original Power of the force line produced some of the rarest Star   Wars   collectibles on the planet, including…an Ewok Battle Wagon?  While it was never seen in ROTJ, it was featured  prominently in at least one episode of Ewoks (although not with  all the features).  This vehicle was only released  in POTF packaging.  
The features of the Battle Wagon included:
- A front-lowering ramp
-  Battering ram
- Ladder
- Large animal skull on top for a protective “cockpit”
- Portable jail for (pictured) stormtroopers and  bad guys
- Wheels
 
Why should you own this vehicle?  Five reasons:
1.  Despite it being Ewok, it is the coolest Ewok thing you’ll ever own.
2. The POTF packaging says it all: rare, rare,  rare.
3. The best proof that Ewoks are  badasses – they killed something with a skull that size
4. One of the few wheeled vehicles in the whole Star  Wars universe.  That means you don’t have to keep  holding it to simulate floating.  That is soooooo  tiring.
5. Could be substituted as some  middle-ages device.
 
Backstory:
Built by one of  Wicket’s ancestors, the Battle Wagon helped the  Ewoks    gain dominance  over the Duloks and win their “civil” war.  Wicket     rediscovered it neglected in the forest, the Duloks captured it, it    was  soon recaptured by the Ewoks, and they again thwarted the  Duloks.  Some    people have speculated about the “Bantha” skull  on top, but Banthas    are native to Tatooine, not Endor, plus it only  vaguely resembles a    Bantha. The Wagon was also re-used as a  toy in the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves line  (see here at Recycling  of the Force).Want more? Wookieepedia article
