I realized I havne't documented completing the glow-in-the-dark trinity of Space Sword, Space Shield, and Space Trooper Helmet by Toy Box Inc. Meant to cash in on Star Wars, these wonderful toys were somehow better than what Kenner offered in terms of light sabers. I had the shield and sword as a kid (via @canadiantire), and they were the best, but I never got that helmet. My pal @peterjoek gifted me one this fall, and well, it's about time I showed them off! #starwars #toyventures #starwarsknockoff #spacesword #spaceshield #glowinthedark #bootlegstarwars #plaidstallions
