Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future

Show from the 80s that was really just a vehicle for selling toys. They had a line of fighter jet thingies that were light guns you could shoot at the tv and somehow the guns themselves could respond to the lights from the tv and cause the cockpit to eject when it was hit. Not terribly obscure I think, but it was only a thing for like a year or two.

Kids have such a great imagination: I watch the thing as a kid, and I remembered it looked awesome, with crazy vfx and such. How disappointed I was when I found it on YouTube years later!

Oh my god I loved this as a kid, and had a shitload of the toys, and from my late teens on I've been trying like hell to figure out what this show/line of toys was!!!

Thank you for posting this today. Gonna show my kids. This is so wild.
