- The CommTech reader gives Star Wars action figures the power to speak!
The CommTech reader used with CommTech chips (included inside and with every Star Wars Episode I basic action figure)
give you the power. Simply touch each figures CommTech chip to the CommTech reader to hear your figure's character speak.
Some will even interact with other figures!
Please note this item is from Hasbro 1998.
It only works on figures that have a CommTech chip feature.
* Stores multiple character quotes so you can play them back without the chips
* Lightsaber & blaster sounds
* Styled like Qui-Gon Jinn’s Jedi Comlink
* Triggers communications between select characters since the reader remembers the last chip scanned
* Includes belt clip and chain lanyard
Prequel fans SOUND OFF with CommTech Fun, OT too!

"Mesa jar jar binks, gungans no like outsiders." *Audible exsplosion* (silence)
Hey somebody got the joke.
In France, they didn't come with chips, BUT in Quebec they came with French chips and they're RIDICULOUS
That sounds like a lot of fun, I want to hear some of the aliens in French. At least Jar Jar...
Sounds just like it did back in ‘99
Good to know, I just now got to hear them all. Fun and the device is a cool display item also to go with things like lightsabers and blasters.
I had one of these, and I had all of the chips on a keyring. I probably threw it all out 10 years ago and now I'm regretting it lmao
Aw no. I did have the chain but couldn't remember the purpose so I didn't show it. If I show more figures that come with the chips I may sneak it in.
I had this toy as a kid and, hate it all you want, I loved this thing. Would use the quotes and sounds to tell my own stories.
Oh I wouldn't be showing it and owning it if I hated it. It's great, but also so funny.
I would have loved to have it as a kid with all these figures but never got one. Happy to add it to the collection now though!
I feel ya on this. Sure it’s not the best of quality, but it stings to watch this being laughed at. I recall this being a huge part of Star Wars figure collecting for me in my childhood. I had a few from the line prior, but Episode 1 was when Star Wars toy collecting became a huge hobby.
@@cmjon6380 As you can see I have a sizeable collection from that time also. You got to laugh with these wacky voices. I'm not here roasting it into the ground, I just never heard them until now getting the Comm device. All I do here is praise these older 90's figures, from Star Wars to every other line I show. I don't collect it if I hate it!
@@MBXfilms I feel ya. It honestly started pretty rough with lots of salt, but you are correct. When Episode 1 figures hit store shelves, this feature was ahead it’s time. No one really did this. You had pull string toys with voices and push button features with some tinny voices and sound effects, but so many Star Wars toys came out and all with these chips that I think had about 4 quotes and some even interacted when scanned back and forth between the two. If memory serves correctly. Try to scan Kenobi and Qui Gon and I think they might sync up……might. You might have to save them both and use the buttons to get the quotes to sorta sync in. It’s been a good decade since I dusted mine off to listen to them again. It just stung a bit from the first half. Thank you for commenting on it. Lots could get aggressive in a defensive tone, but you approached this with open palms rather than clenched fists. I appreciate that.
@@cmjon6380 It's all about fun and remembering the past here, or learning about it for the first time in a lot of younger viewer's cases. It's tough to make the videos interesting for both but I try to leave it open for anyone to follow along.
I have a few figures and the chips they came with but I never had the reader to listen to them...sounds pretty funny honestly. Partly still want the reader either to listen to mine or just to have the communicator.
They are worth a listen for fun. Plus it's a pretty cool looking display piece.
I had one of these, I used to wear the chip around my neck on the chain it came with
The CommTech Reader toy reminds me of the Ultraman X DX X-Deviser where you place the Ultraman vinyl figures with the NFC chips
Sounds like a bit more modern version, though it may be the exact technology since they made this type of stuff in 1983, but maybe the cost only made sense from the 90's and on.
Today I unearthed this from a box in our attic that hasn't seen the light of day in a decade. It still had an old 9v that I replaced and it still mostly works. Some of the chips weren't reading at all and I only managed to save one chip's sound but the sound quality is exact to the quality in this video
Obviously some serious compression that worked on some but sort of ruined others in comical ways. But it's an awesome item to have since it looks like the movie prop AND has all the voice and sound effects. The sound effects would have been my favorite as a kid, but now they are all entertaining to hear.
I had some of the chips but I never had the toy to use them. Reminds me of the World of Springfield toys
Same story. It was neat that they were figure stands but that took up more space on my shelf so I always left them piled in a box. Glad people are happy to hear them here.
A Jedi never knows when he may need to shave his legs.
For a SMOOTH shave...use CommTech Gillette
Love it. Both interesting and hilarious. Your laughs made the video.
It's dream when I can experience something for the first time like this even with older toys. It hit me as very funny since I am very familiar with all the dialogue.
I'm 52-years-old and just found one of these today at a thrift store in great condition with nine chips. Tonight I played the chips and also others on the carded figures hanging on my wall. It's a cool toy!
Making it look like a prop from the movie makes it a great collectible that also has a fun function. The chips are cheap to get a hold of too if you wanted more to mess with.

We had video games in 2000 also. So many wacky Episode 1 games.
It's pretty poorly done but I liked the 2 player co-op of Jedi Power Battles.
videogames had a right to be wrong because they were still niche
many whacky premises
@@scarecrow559fresno nothing needs to be perfect to be fun.
Ah yes, the thing my parents got me after much whining and immediately regretted it.
I still have this and bunch of the chip although mine is labeled as "CommTalk" instead of "CommTech".
I really think that the weird "holding your nose"-quality of the voices comes from how the audio files were compressed for this to work. The chips are pretty tiny after all and I don't think they have the storage for much higher quality sounds.
It still sort of amazing me that it can access the data that way. I guess I am old school beyond even this. They did a modern verision of it for one or two of the newer Star Wars movies with better voice quality, but old CommTech here has way more figures, from the prequels and original trilogy
Me too I have this action figure of Qui-Gon Jinn 4:20.
One of the first Star Wars figures of that size that could really hold a lightsaber properly, I remember it was a big deal at the type, him and Obi-Wan
I had a couple of these chips from my EP I figs but I never had the player. Wow! so bizarre the way they sound but I guess it was the best they could do back then.
Not sure how much the player was when it was released but it seems like it was an expense endeavor to add interaction like that to the action figures
It was a $20 device by itself but the technology to do it all seems involved for the time. Maybe it is more simple than I am imagining, but doing all the digitizing of lines and sound effects; making it fit on the chips, ect makes you wonder how costly it was to do.
I remember there being something about some chips being able to "interact".
Yes, I would have to find a list to try that out, may make a follow up video if it triggers new voice clips.
@@MBXfilms I don't think it adds anything new, just plays the specific ones that fit together
@@JarharaJaiArik Like automatic matching conversation? I see.
@@MBXfilms that's what I think they were going for. I think I only owned one pair that matched up though (Anakin and a version of Padme, it was from their first dialog)
@@JarharaJaiArik Oh...oh no... 😅
I knwo people dont like them but i still want them lol
I always kept them thinking to get the player. Glad I have it now, so fun to hear them all.
I have a few of these still on their card
same, but I plan to open them. I didn't think Episode I stuff would be so popular but maybe I will open them here. Still plenty of cool characters to add.
lololol they are to funny
Just a little goofy, but a cool function if it was only sound effects. Those sound OK, lasers and light sabers.
😂😂😂😂😂
Think your device is going bad. I think they were a tad better than that...a tad. 😀
I got it new but they are just old really. That's why I like to show the features while I can because this stuff ain't getting any younger, just like me.
It was a good idea, but very badly done.
At the end of the day, people just want the figures really. And they were pretty nice for the time.
That dude look like Neil Diamond
Which dude?
@MBXfilms the old pilot guy in the tan coat rick you called him I think
@@mistyknightsbionicarm Oh yeah, look up the actor Ralph Brown that plays him, he really does look like him in the right picture.
9:12 💀
I know what people want to see, might as well get it done...
@@MBXfilms real
I had one of these, I used to wear the chip around my neck on the chain it came with
That's what they wanted you to do. It would be pretty handy to do playing with it back then too. Maybe I will take one with me on my keychain! Keep Qui-Gon close always.
