Best Star Wars Toys TechnoBuffalo 2021

The Star Wars franchise has been the root of countless toys over the years, but their quality has varied. When you're looking for a great Star Wars toy, it helps to weed out some of the chaff. Overall, the best Star Wars toy you can get is the Electronic Chewbacca Mask as it perfectly balances price with quality and value, offering users of all ages a fun and silly way to entertain, freak out, or scare their friends and family.

Best Overall: Electronic Chewbacca Mask

The Electronic Chewbacca Mask is a simple, yet genius concept: it lets people wear Chewbacca's face, and when they open their mouths, it causes one of Chewbacca's iconic roar sound clips to play from the mask's speakers. Opening your mouth wider causes the mask to play the sound louder, and this can be used to hilarious effect. For example, is your kid sleeping through their alarm? Go into his or her room and freak him out with a real wake-up call. The mask itself is built with hard plastic, making it sturdy and durable, and the detailing on it is beautiful.

It may not be the flashiest toy out there, but it offers the most bang for your buck amongst all Star Wars toys.

Pros:

  • Hilarious concept
  • Mask is durable
  • Detailing on the mask is gorgeous
  • Very affordable

Cons:

  • May not fit large adult faces
