Star Knight - Sort of a Star Wars meets C.Hi.P.s theme. Yes, it's Darth Vader on a Police Motorcycle!
The Darth figure is removable and articulated at the shoulders, allowing him to grip the handlebars. The vinyl cape is non-removable, but does flop around in a fun way. Vader is not based off of any Kenner mold that I'm aware of. The detailings on him are a bit generic as well, giving him a very stylized look.
The lack of articulation on the figure beyond the shoulders means that, although he is removable, it's best just to leave him sitting there. Otherwise you just have a Vader crouching in a really goofy pose.
The motorcycle has bump-n-go action, lights, sounds, and a voice chip. Turn it on and the sirens and motion start. After a few moments the cycle will stop, Vader will cry "HALT!" and then start shooting (real machine gun sounds!) after he's out of ammo, the cycle starts again.
There is a sticker across the front of the windshield that reads "With IC Sounds". I have no idea what that means, though.
Other stickers have "POLICE" written on them with a red-white-and-blue color scheme.
Overall, this is a very keen toy. Maybe I'm just easily amused, but the lights and sounds of this bootleg can make me smile any time!
