Star Bird

Starbird 80's Toys

Star Bird was an electronic space ship toy line produced by Milton Bradley from 1979 through about 1981.  The ships had flashing lasers and made engine sounds.  There was a ball bearing inside that would change the sound of the motor to accelerating or decelerating depending on how you had the noise pointed.  The main ship was made of sections that could be detached to create separate ships.  For example, the end of each wing had a detachable ship called an “interceptor”, and the rotating laser turret could be detached to double as an escape pod.  Also available was the Space Avenger, the Intruder, and the Command Base.
