TOMART ACTION FIGURE DIGEST KENNER LEGACY (2020)

"Batman and the return of Star Wars carry the story of Kenner into the 1990s. The Dark Knight collection kicked off a long-running Batman brand as Kenner mixed in shorter run successes like Swamp Thing, Robin Hood, Terminator 2, Mondo Blitzers, Jurassic Park, The Mask, and the return of Star Wars, Alien, and the successfully revived Beast Wars: Transformers. Many other lines were tried during this period and while some very neat figures, shown in prototype form, were never released. The Kenner Legacy profiles them all, giving toy collectors unique insight into this popular company."

"The story of Kenner Products is told in 18 chapters tracing the company from its formation in 1947 until it was completely absorbed into Hasbro shortly after the turn of the century. The Star Wars story continues in the second six chapters as the Kenner empire grows with Star Wars: The Power of the Force, Droids, Ewoks, Super Powers, MASK, Bone Age, Silverhawks, and The Real Ghostbusters. Interviews with key Kenner players illuminate the company's growth during the 1980's, and photographs reveal prototypes and unproduced figures."
