The vintage TIE Fighter vehicle by Kenner is awfully sweet. The wings pop off in distress when you press secret buttons and another button lights up a chin gun and makes a cool laser sound to boot. I didn’t have one of these as a kid but was always deeply envious of my little buddies that did.

My first experience with a Star Wars action figure was the stiffly-postured, no-neck, original Stormtrooper. It was love at first sight back then in early 1978, and it’s still one of my absolute favorites. The TIE fighter pilot is a more recent discovery and definitely no slouch.
