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!
Laser sword!
