How to Make Old-School Star Wars Figures Breakdance

For the price of two nickels, you too can turn your vintage Star Wars action figure into a b-boy.

When I was a kid, way back in the mid-'80s, there were two things I loved more than just about anything else: Star Wars and breakdancing. To combine the two, my friends and I would sometimes attempt to make our action figures do b-boy battles against each other. While we never could figure out how to make R2-D2 do the actual robot, we did come up with a trick to make almost any Star Wars figure with a round dome bust a fresh headspin. Turns out all you need is a single thin dime. Watch this video to learn how to do it yourself.
