This is another one of Kenner's pack-in brochures for their line of Star Wars toys. In 1980, Kenner released the first 10 figures and several vehicles and playsets for the new movie, The Empire Strikes Back. I like how Kenner kept the older Star Wars toys in release as they continued to add to the line. I'm also very partial to the spread that showcases all the large sized figures. Cool beans....and who knew Ben Kenobi was the father of the mystical "FORCE?" I sure didn't.Enjoy. There will be more classic toy reviews coming soon.
I loved these litle catalogs. They were like getting the Sears Christmas wishlist catalogs with every toy. I used to systematically go down line to collect them all. I never got enough of looking through them. Even today.
ReplyDeleteThey had a movie viewer?
ReplyDeleteI never saw one of those!
Yes, Hi, thanks for posting this catalog. Where do I download the order form? I see a ton of stuff I would like to order.
ReplyDeleteI loved these catalogs as well. It offered me a glimpse of all the toys I would probably never be able to get! lol I'd love to see the ROTJ catalog!
ReplyDeleteUsed to have TONS of them and a lot of versions - they kept updating it...
ReplyDeleteI used to pore over these things for hours wishing I could get them all. Luckily, I got a couple of things -- about half the figures, a landspeeder and an X-wing fighter. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI still have my catalogs, used them as checklists, and still use them today as a vintage collector!
