Boldly futuristic, this toy seems to have jumped right out of an old science fiction flick. The large lense evokes images of vastly superior beam technology, while the fins at the gun's rear place it firmly in the early years of jet fighters and rocket flights. Even the action is cool -- the switch on the toy's top allows the beam to turn from clear to green to red thanks to two colored gels inside the lense compartment. Other variations include one with the colors reversed, as well as one with a black body and red details.
