Wanting to build my own Star Wars Yoke, based on the plans detailed here:

Does anyone know what the toys are called that the author used for his handles? (and where I can find them) I'm attatching the pic of them from the article.
Kremmit:
I think they're called "El Cheapo Junk Plastic Toys" from the .99 cent store.  Probably imported from Bangladesh or something.  Also probably never find the exact same ones- but go to stores that have a lot of cheap plastic toys and goofy candy and you might find something similar. 
AlanS17:
I can't even clearly tell what that thing is.
Kremmit:
They're handles from those stupid toys that were in all the 99 cent stores, convenience marts & Blockbusters a while back.  The handle had batteries, a small motor, and maybe some lights inside.  And there was a toy Batman//lollipop/bundle of fiberoptics/whatever on top.  When the kid pressed the button/pulled the trigger, whatever was on top would rotate and any lights would light up.

I think this particular fad has died down, though- so finding them may take a little work.

Wal-mart has an entire aisle in toys dedicated to junk crap plastic toys for under 5 bucks, they carry those spinning light up things in that aisle pretty much for good as far as I know
