Your Stormtrooper getup works great for conventions with A/C, but what do you do in the dead of summer? That plastic doesn’t breathe. Luckily, Jakks Pacific is releasing a large line of Star Wars inflatables.
The X-wing (pictured here) is not only 5-feet long; it includes a water cannon. Couple that aqua weaponry with a few “pew pew” noises and you’ve got yourself a second degree sunburn before anyone even pulls out the Death Star beach ball.
Seriously, I’m calling a do-over to my childhood. But I can wait until Power Wheels releases a line of working mini Tie Fighters. [StarWars via OhGizmo!]

Back in the early noughties a couple of mates and I received an Episode One Trade Federation Droid Control Ship Play Pool as a house warming gift. Nothing childish about the three of us soaking in it over summer, cooled by the hose fed waterjet out of the central tower. Was big enough to fit a fully stocked esky, yet small enough to fit in our courtyard, in sight of the TV. Wonder where that ended up?
