Join us on a journey through the 1982 Kenner Toy Fair Catalog, which offered a first look at Kenner’s latest toys. For instance, readers had the chance to examine the latest Star Wars Micro Collection Playsets and Indiana Jones action figures.
Kenner heavily concentrated on the toy line that put them on the map, Star Wars, in the 1982 Toy Fair Catalog. When George Lucas sought out a toy company to create merchandise for his space saga, most companies turned him down. However, Kenner decided to take the chance to accept the 6-month timeline to create the Star Wars toys. Despite gambling with an Early Bird Certificate Package, Star Wars became the top-selling toy line for years to come.

Two sheets of self-sticking labels allowed fans to choose between an X-Wing Fighter that looks “brand new” or “Battle Damaged”. Then, they could push the simulated R2-D2 and the wings opened to the attack position. The cockpit opened to hold an action figure. The X-Wing Fighter also featured a moveable front landing gear. Moreover, it had laser lights and sounds. This vehicle required two “AA” batteries.
