宇宙刑事ギャバン レーザーブレード
Space Sheriff Gavan has a special place in my childhood memory. When I was very young, my mom would take me to a tiny VHS video store nearby and rent Hong Kong TV shows, mostly martial art dramas, and she always picked a random Japan Tokusatsu (特撮) film for me. Space Sheriff Gavan was among the collection at the store. There are so many cool things in this show like the Spaceship Dolgrian (超次元光速機ドルギラン) which is a spaceship mounted on top of a mechanical dragon named Dol, and his red bike – Saivarian (サイバリアン). However, I was mostly impressed by Gavan’s laser blade, especially when he powered up the blade with his hand.
I was really excited when the life-size laser blade came out in 2017 because the highly accurate replica also comes with the power-up effect. Like the henshin toys, it’s a therapeutic experience for me to re-enact those superhero moves from my childhood. However, after some research on the toy, I realized the blade actually doesn’t detect the player’s hand position.
