Star Wars Switcheroos
Released in 1980 under the Empire Strikes Back banner these nifty little items added some extra Star Wars flair to any child’s bedroom. There are 3 offerings, R2D2, C3PO and Darth Vader. Essentially a light switch cover plate, these would screw on over an existing light switch and allow the user to turn the lights on and off by moving a section of the switcheroo. These are now sought after items and can be very difficult and expensive to locate in pristine condition. The cards bend easily as they are lighter than the cardstock used in the action figure line. The bubbles seem to yellow and deteriorate easily.
Finding these can be a treat and a fun look back on some of the unique non-action figure offerings.
