A toymaker has produced a plaything fit for a young Jedi knight.
Steve Coupe of Steves Wooden Toys has handcrafted an X-wing starfighter rocker from pine, native macrocarpa and rimu, and it comes with a removable R2-D2 co-pilot.
The modern take on the timeless rocking horse is being sold on Trade Me with a starting price of $950.
Mr Coupe said he needed $400 to cover his costs and fund another project, with the remainder being donated to Starship Children's Hospital.
"Like most people from my generation, I was fascinated by Star Wars as a child and used to create cardboard models when I was about 11," he said.
