Step into the climactic moments of A New Hope with this vintage 1994-1996 Galoob Micro Machines Darth Vader Lightsaber Playset. This unique "Transforming Action Set" is designed to look like a full-sized Darth Vader lightsaber hilt, which hinges open to reveal a detailed miniature diorama of the Death Star Trench.

This item is being sold incomplete and is perfect for collectors looking for a replacement hilt/shell, or for fans who enjoy creating custom tabletop dioramas and displays.

Playset Features

As a part of the legendary Galoob Micro Machines line, this set is celebrated for its clever "hidden world" engineering.

  • Exterior: A highly detailed replica of Darth Vader's lightsaber hilt, featuring the signature vertical cooling fins and ignition switch detailing.

  • Interior: The hilt opens to reveal the Death Star's surface, including the thermal exhaust port and the narrow trench where the final battle took place.

  • Action Features: Includes the manual sliding mechanism designed to "pilot" micro-ships through the trench run.

Condition & Parts Notes

  • Completeness: This set is incomplete. It is missing the original micro-figures (such as Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker) and the miniature vehicles (X-Wing and TIE Advanced) that originally came with the set.

  • Structural Integrity: The main hilt casing, hinges, and the fold-out interior sections are in good working order. The latch to keep the lightsaber closed functions correctly.

  • Cosmetic Condition: The plastic shows light play wear consistent with its age. The silver chrome-style accents on the hilt may show minor scuffing or "rub" marks typical of 90s Galoob toys.

  • Maintenance: The item has been cleaned and stored in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment to preserve the vintage plastic.

Very cute toy
I THOUGHT IT WOUKD BE BIGGER. it's about the size of 24 oz water bottle. Kinda small in my opinion. The dogs loved it but I've had it a week and it's already torn apart....my dogs are only about 3 months old so not very strong yet, so I would say it's like mid quality. I'll probably just sew the seam back together and call it good tbh.

My yorkie destroyed
It says it’s very durable so that’s why I bought it although the body and ropes are good the ears on the horse came off in the first day with my small dog so be careful with the ears and other looser things on the animals. The rope untied many times as well not a big deal I just knotted it back but she still loves this toy so it’s okay I’m my book just watch for ripping of ears and other parts on the head of this toy

Head and body ripped after less than 5 min of tug
Color: Scrunch Bunch Bunny, Color: Scrunch Bunch Bunny
The seam beteeen the head and body failed after less than five minutes of supervised tug with a 35 pound dog. This is NOT a tough toy. No reinforced stitching. Absolutely unsafe - a dog could easily rip open the neck and get at the squeakers, which are small enough to be swallowed and lodged in an intestine.

Good but not as tough as advertised
Color: Scrunch Bunch Duck
My dog absolutely loved this toy. He was obsessed immediately! It was his (and our) first crinkle toy. He loves the crinkle though it’s a bit distracting for me as it kind of sounds like he’s getting into something he shouldn’t. I love that there are two squeakers, one in the belly and one in one of the handles to squeak on during tug of war. Though he enjoys this toy, the head ripped off during a mild tug only about a few hrs after delivery. My dog is a medium sized 25 lb dog, he is not super strong or a super chewer by any means so I was surprised that it tore so easily. The fabric itself seems strong enough to withstand mild chewing but the seams aren’t as tough as they are advertised. If you don’t mind mending your dogs toys, it’s a very fun toy that’s easy to play with your dog as the handles work well for tug of war, just keep in mind that anything over a small sized dog will probably tear this toy apart during a play session.
