The Star Bird was a plastic-bodied, electronic handheld toy that was produced by MB Electronics in 1978, around the same time as the very first Star Wars movie arrived in theaters.
When turned on the Star Bird mimics an engine sound. If the toy is pointed upwards the sound would be altered to imply a Doppler effect acceleration or taking-off, while a nose down orientation gives the sound of decelerating engines. A button at the rear of the cockpit activates the LEDs at the front of the toy, along with a blast noise, to simulate the firing of its lasers.
As someone who owned this fantastic toy as a child, I have done my best to recreate it on IMVU as a furniture piece with access to the interior.
