No Sir, There's Nothing Strange About Cosplay No.10

Here in the Security Kitchen we are sad to hear the news of the passing of Kenny "I make the top go around, you know!" Baker, who (pardon the expression) loomed large over our childhoods with his work in one of the greatest films ever made.

But apart from his apperance in "Time Bandits", he is also sometimes remembered for his portrayal of a certain well-loved droid in yer Star Wars films.

Despite various flippant comments over the years, his talent and dedication will be greatly missed.

As the above hopefully demonstrates...

"I Would Like a Hat Like That!" No.26

In tribute to the late Leonard Nimoy, I was intending to focus on some very satisfactory gender-bending Star Trek cosplay.

However, that will have to wait until another day, as I have suddenly remembered something that I've been meaning to mention for some time...

Readers who recall with affection the Luke Skywalker AM Headset Radio that was featured on these pages some time ago, may be interested in the Official Star Trek Space Fun Helmet.

Lacking as it does an AM radio feature, this was perhaps a slightly inferior helmet to its Kenner counterpart. However, Trekkies the length and breadth of the galaxy could delight in its Flashing Light Emitter with accompanying Pulsing Sonic Sound, as well as a solar visor, antenna and stick-on name labels.

In a perfect world, it would have been part of a survival kit in a Galileo Seven playset.

Space fun on a stick!
