About Star Wars…

The original Star Wars action figures were a line of toys manufactured by the Kenner company (in the U.S.) that were designed to represent all of the major and minor characters of the Star Wars franchise. These vintage Star Wars action figures are based exclusively upon the first three films of the Star Wars franchise known as episodes four through six. The Vintage Star Wars action figures and toys that are most highly sought after by collectors are based on key vehicles and settings from the original Star Wars films such as Han Solo’s Millennium Falcon and Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter. Although some people purchase Star Wars figures for their children most vintage Star Wars action figure collectors are interested in these products for more nostalgic or even investment reasons. The Star Wars action figures that were released during the late 70s and early 80s were the first line of toys to be marketed successfully as merchandise accompanying a major Hollywood film and an entire generation of children grew up playing with Star Wars toys.
