Stormtrooper Clock

I've been looking for one of these ever since I saw LEon over at Open the Toys reviewed this. Toysrus was the only place that had them here, but it was an Online-only item and I didn't want to pay shipping on top so I eventually forgot about it.

But while I was hunting for TF's at Walmart today, I found this guy on the shelf. And to my surprise, the price was even cheaper than Toysrus's price!

Seeing that I never look at the instructions for these things, I missed out on the light up feature on this figure. I went back and checked on LEon's review and he also did mentioned it, but it was a while ago when I read about it. So to light up the clock display, simply push on the Stormtrooper's helmet and you will get this yellow glow on his stomach which lasts about 6 seconds.

I was thinking if Lego releases some of their "Mini-figs" in this scale without the clock, I would probably start collecting them. I actually think this minifigure clock gives off a designer toy look. It's definitely a cool and functional display piece.

  2. That is pretty great. If the display lit up, I'd consider getting one to replace my current alarm clock.

  3. @Mario: Actually while playing with it, I just found out the clock display do indeed light up when you press on his head. I'll be adding a picture of that in this post in a bit.

  5. @LPM: The other one we have here is Darth, but I didn't see Boba Fett. I actually googled about these minifig clocks after and found there were quite a few of them available, but probably limited to certain areas only. There are even Buzz Lightyear and Woody versions of these.
