Space Sword! Space Shield! Space Trooper Helmet! The trinity of glow-in-the-dark Star Wars Knock-Off lightsabers!

I have a couple of these Knock-Off German fashion dolls with overstock clothes from other toys, my favourite being the Denys Fisher Tom Baker Doctor Who. This one had me at Space:1999 as she is rocking the Mattel Doctor Victor Bergman top but following up with plaid pants. Space:1999 would have run longer if […]
