Just for fun part 2: Lightsaber


BSHZZZ! I am your father!


The gimmick works just by simply pushing the darn thing.

The vintage Kenner 3.75" Star Wars action figures are legendary!
I was fortunate enough to experience that in the 80s as a kid.
The rumors were true, Boba Fett was the coolest figure at the time, at least everyone in my class and all the older kids said so.

As crappy as Darth Vader was, starting with his vinyl cape that easily ripped, a head that was prone to coming off, and his way too stubby lightsaber, the result may have fell a little short but it was a figure made of dreams.

At the end of the day Kenner put Darth Vader in our hands, so that we can make him command Storm Troopers in our very own world, which was probably the living room.

I got to say that the most ambitious part of the Darth Vader figure was that lightsaber gimmick, where it actually extends and retracts!
So I just had to try and replicate this marvelous idea.. but in Lego format.

This was quite an ambitious project, it took a lot of work and time but I finally got it down.


Dream on! Dream on! Jam on to Aerosmith!

HORRIBLE FLYING OBJECT OFFICIAL STORE From the very moment I decided to 3D print toys (end of 2018) I knew right away that I wanted to do a vampire head. I went with a polygon style coffin head because I wanted an old school video game look. The Space Vampire has the Nosferatu style freaky bald vampire look because I prefer Nosferatu over a humanoid vampire for an action figure. Simply put I don't want my action figure to look normal, I want it to stand out period! The freaky Nosferatu definitely stands out and looks way more bizarre compared to the suave Dracula. Rather than doing a regular No...

Quick Fix

If the peg hole is not tight enough to your liking or it just becomes loose over time, do not fear for there is a simple and easy solution! Get some Elmer's Glue-All. This thing should be affordable and not that hard to find. It also dries clear so it won't ruin your action figure. I put one small drop of the glue where you see the red finger pointing towards. Leave it overnight and by morning you will have a tighter fit. I would start with just one single drop and if it's not tight enough do it again and as much as needed. This quick fix method has been so simple and effective that I wanted to share it with you all!   Prototypes of the Space Vampire and Gleam Body HORRIBLE FLYING OBJECT OFFICIAL STORE
