Now don’t get us wrong, we’re not advocating bank robbery as an easy way to resolve your financial difficulties. We’re just really looking forward to the first security camera footage of a perp using this electronic Chewbacca mask to hide their identity behind authentic Wookiee roars.
Available now for 30 well-spent dollars, this battery-powered mask triggers a roar sound effect whenever the wearer opens their mouth — and with varying degrees of intensity. The wider Chewie’s mouth is opened, the louder and fiercer the Wookiee roar will be.
Hasbro’s also got a $US35 voice-changing Kylo Ren mask, as well as a new-and-improved $US40 electronic Darth Vader mask, but this is the first time that kids — or would-be thieves — can pretend to be Chewbacca without having to make a sad attempt at impersonating his roar. [Hasbro]
