Vintage Kenner ‘STAR WARS’ 1978 Galactic Empire Tie Fighter Toy Review
Kenner made one of the coolest toys ever when they released the Tie Fighter for the 3 3/4” action figure line for the original Star Wars film! Truly a must have for any vintage Kenner Star Wars toy collection. In this video, I review this awesome, fun, electronic toy ship from the Galactic Empire. Darth Vader’s dark forces flew these fast, deadly and cool looking ships when battling the rebels X-Wings in dogfights. Especially when defending the Empire’s secret weapon, the dreaded Death Star seen in the original1977 Star Wars film.
If you love vintage Kenner Star Wars toys and are a fan of the Empire, hop in the cockpit as we take a journey thru space in the amazing Imperial Tie Fighter!

I had this, the Vader TIE, and the X-wing as a kid, as well as the Falcon. I was very lucky.

@GQJedi 3 года назад

Sounds like you had great options at playtime, my man! Very cool. That Snowtrooper should arrive soon by the way:)

@vane_twentyone 3 года назад

I didnt have a tie fighter until my adult collecting days but man was I impressed when I got my hands on one. As a kid I just never put money towards the bad guy vehicles. Im also pretty happy my 90s one doesn't make the lights and sounds haha, similar to the original blasters vs my childhood 90s ones 🤣

@GQJedi 3 года назад

It's all part of Kenner's charm. As you and I have discussed many times, I'm beyond familiar with the 90s toys but "upgraded" or not, theres no magic there for me. Glad you were able to pick up a Kenner Tie. It's where it all started my man... Guess that's why I care about is so much and Hasbro's modern takeover and production means absolutely nothing to me. I feel nothing for those toys.

Man, I wish I could time travel back to when these toys were still in stores. It must have been magic to see a whole isle packed with carded figures and boxed vehicles... Any time I go into a toy store the SW section is always just this little emaciated group of unwanted Disney Trilogy figures that have been there since the movies came out...

@GQJedi 3 года назад

IMO the Disney trilogy sucked Wampa balls and I think the greater OG Diehard vintage fans think the same. Not surprising.

@googleuser3163 3 года назад

@@GQJedi I'm glad we share an opinion about the Disney reboot 😂

@GQJedi 3 года назад

Oh yeah. I make no bones about my opinion and will never apologize for it. Nope. They sh*t the bed and they can’t undo that damage. Unless they use the world beyond worlds to erase it. Thus allowing an alternate timeline of events to take place, which even still, is wanky. What’s done is done. Partly why I won’t buy merchandise from them if I can help it.

@googleuser3163 3 года назад

@@GQJedi True words. The bright side (for me at least) is that it's made me appreciate the *real* Star Wars a lot more. I've even come to kinda like the Prequels after being a long-time detractor. They at least contain SOME of the spirit and charm that the Disney movies were completely devoid of. I made the decision after TLJ that I won't be paying for any more soulless Disney products. When I watch Mandalorian for free I consider it compensation for the god-awful movies I sat through 😂

@GQJedi 3 года назад

Sold off all my modern SW after seeing TLJ. Every. Single. Piece. Enough said. I hear you.

@jibberjabberactionfigure 3 года назад

Had that as a kid for I believe, my 11th birthday. I wanted Vader’s fighter but somehow ended up with the white one.

At least you got a Tie Fighter at all, though, right? Nothing wrong with getting a white one unless of course you already had one, and received another. LOL.

Great video GQJ. Yeah I had this tie fighter was given to me by my friend Nathan in 1985. It was used and the laser light didn't work but I didn't care now my tie fighter pilot had a fighter to sit in. Sadly in the late eighties while moving to another state the tie was accidentally thrown away. I only have the solar panels to this day. In the 90s I did purchase the tie fighter and was amazed with the exception of color it looked like they used the same molds from the 1978 version. Again I had to sell it to vintage toy shop for money I needed.looking now to see if I could find a tie fighter body to attach my panels on most are pricey out there even in pieces.

@GQJedi 2 года назад

Glad you liked it. Hopefully you can secure the parts you need to finish your Tie. Best of luck to ya!

Thanks, bud! I don't yet have the Tie Interceptor. Its the last ship I need to complete the entire collection of toys. Once I find one that I like, a review may be coming. Not sure you guys would want to see one on each Tie though, as the cockpit is the same, as are the mechanics of it. Am I wrong?

@IanGamache 3 года назад

@@GQJedi Maybe if you can procure an Interceptor you could do a video on all 3. The only one I had was the Darth Vader tie fighter. Such a classic.

@GQJedi 3 года назад

Oh, I'll find one. Ive passed up a few. Just being picky. I could do 1 video on the 3 or 3 single videos. Just not sure what the overall interest in them would be now that this video is up. And the DV Tie Fighter is sick. Great ship!

@Daniel-415-Ponce 3 года назад

As a young kid, I collected Star Wars only from 1978 to 1981, so it drove me nuts during that time that there was not a proper TIE Fighter Pilot action figure. I used the AT-AT Driver figure as a quasi-acceptable substitute. (At least Kenner fairly early on had given us a Luke figure dressed in his proper X-Wing pilot outfit; my having previously been forced to use the farmboy version of Luke for piloting the X-Wing had always felt and looked so wrong to me!) As much as I loved all things associated with Darth Vader, the Kenner version of his personal TIE Advance prototype was disappointing. Because Kenner had gone the cheap route of reusing the same design for the cockpit/mid-section as the regular TIE Fighter, their version of Vader's ship looked unbalanced, flimsy and fundamentally inauthentic. Regardless, though, the original classic TIE Fighter as profiled in this video will always be, in my mind at least, the most iconic vehicle in all of Star Wars. The prominence of TIE Fighter footage was probably the most redeeming feature of Episode VII. In fact, I recently broke down and bought one of the huge Black Series First Order TIE Fighters scaled for the 6" action figures. I haven't opened it yet, though, because I honestly have no idea where I am going to display it once I take it out of the box and assemble it - - that is how big it is.

@GQJedi 3 года назад

The classic Tie Fighter is an amazing ship! Definitely my favorite next to the Tie Interceptor. Kenner was notorious for reusing old ideas. It was expedient when they were pushed for deadlines on production. The sequel movies were trash and honestly, I still have yet to find something redeeming about them at all. Again, with the modern toys, I can't comment. Just don't care to collect them at all. Space is always an issue when collecting anything if you're serious about it and go deep or in your case.. Big. LOL. Enjoy the ride!

@silvervalleystudios2486 2 года назад

I've seen se of those Kenner Vader Tie Advanced figures on eBay. Im seriously thinking of getting one. Some examples I've seen are a beautiful shade of black. I really dig the finish on them.
