@1:37 “We also have what I believe is the Rebel Medical Ship”
Bootleggers can’t fool this gamer. That is the original Battle Cruiser from the first StarCraft game decolorized and flipped upside down.
@1:59 “And behind the saber we were hiding a good ol- I don’t know what the hell that is.”
Another game image, but this one coming from an actual Star Wars game! That is a Swoop Bike from the first Knights of the Old Republic game placed on it’s side.
Ah ok cool, thanks for letting me know. It’s hard to know what random ship images some of these things decided to steal , heh.
Pair this with the Little Pluckies Ninja Protects and you’ll never be in danger in the dark. The power of Space Defenders, Pluckies, and Phoptimus will protects you.
How much was that one in particular?
I think the robot might actually be a Gundam knockoff, with the face covered up with random drawing and no v-fin. I am making this guess from the torso not reminding me of Optimus Prime. Maybe someone else could shed some info on this.
Also, is it me, or the tip of the part that glows on the saber, not the plastic cover, kinda makes it look like a glowing green condom?
awesome review. I’ve seen some unofficial lightsabers from specific sites, but they’re mostly in low quality. the only bootleg/knock off lightsabers I’ve seen that might catch my interest (if the quality is good at least) was the Space Maulers Double Saber which from what I’ve seen comes in double bladed blue. I wish Hasbro would release some Ultimate FX lightsabers that is in multiple colors both single & double bladed instead of the more iconic blades for the one trillionth time. in either case, I’m getting more & more excited for The Force Awakens since I’ll be seeing it on opening day at the Uptown Theater in Washington DC. if you want to see Star Wars on the big screen, this is the best way to see it (for those who live near MD, VA, & etc).
on a side note, there are some rather cool bootleg/knock off Star Wars vehicles I can highly recommend you do a review of. it’s a toy called the Starbird Avenger. from what I could gather, they were made in 1979 by Milton Bradly (even though they didn’t have the license for Star Wars at the time), and they made 2 vehicles: Star Bird Avenger & Star Bird Intruder. the Avenger actually looks rather similar to the Y-Wing Fighter/Bomber from the Star Wars series (which are my most favorite of all the Star Wars fighters and I hope to see them in the future sequels in case they get left out from TFA, god damn X-Wing favoritism). the Intruder kind of looks like if they fused the Alpha Megaship from Power Rangers Space with the Cylon Raiders from Battlestar Galactica painted black. I know they probably made more vehicles, but this should be a good place to start. coming from a Y-Wing fan myself, these look extremely cool. you should definitely check them out for a later review Phelous.

I live in Virginia.
It has Green Power? Whosoever pulleth this sabre from the package shall be the Green Party presidential candidate.
I dunno about anybody else’s monitor settings, but that thing is cyan blue on my end. Has your skin always been purple?
well… is this 10 dollar version, or the “Black series” which i think cost $150 USD
you can buy 15 cheap light sabers with that.
Phelous this is CLEARLY a toy from the expanded universe of the Atari Defender series

Huh. Kinda surprised one of these cheaper lightsaber toys actually works that well. I’m used to these things being crap and flimsy.
Good news- you can still get this guy. Now he’s only $5!
