Default My Favorite Toy Challenge - Thursday420

I'm going to be modelling the light-up life sized he man sword from the early 90's. I loved this toy ever since I got it for Christmas in 1989. The shaft of the sword lit up yellow, and made sounds when struck.

Default Update

I noticed the beveled offsets on the handle were wrong so I updated them along with the extrusion of the middle piece

Never seen this toy before. I remember the cartoon reruns of he-man. By the power of grayskull!
