Through the power of protoculture, LEGO and Robotech combine

While most adult fans might prefer to keep their LEGO collection separate from other toys, for plenty of kids, LEGO elements are part of a shared toybox where GI Joe and fashion dolls can play with brick-built accessories. SPARKART! keeps that spirit alive with a sleek LEGO Flash Clapper hover cycle at action figure scale. SPARKART! perfectly captures the vehicle’s on-screen look, which is like a cross between a Harley-Davidson and a vacuum cleaner. The studs-free design helps the action figure rider feel right at home.

For those curious, the action figure in question is either Dana Sterling from the second season of Robotech or Jeanne Françaix from Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, depending on how you came upon the series. Robotech cobbled together 3 disparate series into one continuity, like if The Croods, How To Train Your Dragon, and Boss Baby were reframed as one multigenerational story. It was the 80s. It was awesome.
