Star Wars Power Of The Force Electronic Millennium Falcon Review 

🤦🤦🤦🤦 I really should have known that.

Kenner made the same mistake in one of their commercials: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZDTLV09rIFE.html

​@@toyshelfreviewthe original 1978 Kenner commercial made the same mistake LOL. You unknowingly recreated the Kenner commercial for the falcon way back in the day.

Somehow I missed this comment. I just watched the clip. If I saw any of those I certainly don’t remember now. Thanks for sharing the link.

@@toyshelfreview here is the original 1978 commercial. This one shows Han Solo in the gunner seat instead of Luke. And han is in the correct "upside down" position. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O4B7CV4mPAM.htmlsi=jCmMtTDeX3xCvz7Y

They talked to He-Mans trainer and got his roids too.

I’ve tried multiple times. I probably didn’t show it off so well in the video but I’ve given it some pretty good pulls up. It might just be mine. Thanks though.

I'm with you in that! the POTF line is my all time favorite despite the bulkiness of the figures, they just have that sweet 90's vibe on them, which I grew up as a kid.

The fact that you can retract the landing gears makes this old vehicle better than the big legacy falcon.

I support that once you get past the initial line I think Hasbro / Kenner took note of criticism and produced some really nice figures which felt more of a natural progression from the original figures

My brothers have the POTF figures including the vehicles before when I was born.

Oh, absolutely!

I should have phrased it better. I know there is a little notch for it to set over. Just never stayed in there. It’s all good…didn’t take it the wrong way.

@@toyshelfreview excellent, I know reviewers always have to deal with crap from people, so I wanted to make sure I'm not being crappy. I'm glad to know my vigilance and word choice paid off! I hope you have a good day!

Congrats on the pickup! Perception/Memory might be part of the issue on the size. Many of the older collectors that were kids holding the vehicle originally I’m sure felt bigger in their hands....now not so much. Also after having bigger vehicles released it probably doesn’t help as much.

This is probably what happens when you drink too much coffee every morning. You're growth stops growing. & Thus it makes you short. I don't know what happened to me. I must've shrunk.

Right I see your point taken. Nah I'm fine with the original mold; the more recent releases of this ship are just too big & expensive to buy. All while Hasbro just does that so they can get more money out of people who can afford it. Honestly I was lucky to get this ship complete & everything on eBay for a counterbid of 58.00$ + 35. Cents something n shipping for almost a hundred dollars. Michael from retroblasting was right about them. It's just because of more accuracy & details implemented to want consumers to buy it but I'm not foolish enough to want their giant oversized ship when the original is already big enough for me. I'm a pre-adult in his senior year of highschool & I shouldn't be this exactly short. But it's because of my addiction to coffee so you know.

Nice! The only tips I have is an occasional dusting and keep out of the sunlight.

Smaller peg hole size to the original figures modern figures have smaller holes under their feet

I bought it when it was released in 1995.

ahh. love the channel btw.. another win for us old guys hanging onto this stuff.

Met en lol

Yeah, mine has never stayed in there.

Yeah, me too. But now that I think about it, he did the right thing. These things have long fronts where most of the footing is close to the back. If he set the position with the landing gear square, it's big front half would be swinging around and would look awkward as it rotates.

I’m trying to imagine myself as a kid back in the 70s… I think I would’ve thought this thing was pure crap even back then… LOL!. I think Erin does a good job with these Reviews, Love the Channel- Just Not this thing!.

I see it very differently. If I take away my bias (I had this line as a kid), I guess I could say the Force Awakens one is more durable, and they did an excellent job with that backdrop wall! My favorite one seen out of any Falcon! TFA also had a very nice control deck interior that fit both characters, to put this one here to much shame. Neither Falcon had a very solid feel, would be my other critique of this one. Force Awakens one just felt mushy because of that softer plastic, which is not bad for vehicles you don't have to grip and balance together like an oversized sandwich. And this one used the sturdy plastic, but in the back it was too thin and unsecured to whoosh around with. But this is still my favorite Falcon for all the points Erin lays out and for all the things it got right that the other ones simply don't. What I don't like about Force Awakens Falcon is that it seems too squatty for the characters to ever believably stand up in. The glass window is more durable, but the design and lack of tint ruins that smooth look it once had. I feel like every Falcon with lack of weathering is just missing something major. The design of TFA Falcon was all off; the side panels were so flat and smooth it didn't even Look like the Falcon. It was all straight cords in front that looked real bad and blinded you from noticing any of the real features of the ship. Looks like Disney wanted to severely cut back on design costs, and went unforgivably too far on all its extremities: The bulk height, the mandables, even the cockpit looks stubby to compensate for this or try to hide it. The red style on the interior is also a pathetic move. It tells you they had something against the look of the original. The stairs feature was an interesting concept, but it doesn't work; it changes the whole shape of the ship in a disorienting manner. Speaking of changing the ship in a disorienting manner, those missle features are for the birds, no argument to be made there. :]

When I got the original back in Christmas 1980, I thought it was the best toy ever. I took this thing to the nearby park and flew it around right after I opened it. That and the death Star playset were my favorite toys.
