Does the Kenner toy company still exist? I’m not sure if I have heard the news but I’m not completely certain it has been around for decades. Back in the 90’s, Kenner was a very solid company. They even had clothing, and it seemed like a solid company. However, this didn’t last and Kenner is no longer in business. Does this mean they’re no good?

Optimus Primal

The Optimus Primal is a retro robot toy that is part of the sixth wave of the Beast Wars line. Originally released in 1996, the ultra ape action figure combines elements of many other vintage Transformers figures. Its transformation is similar to the Playskool Go-Bot Gorillabot. The Gorillabot’s transformation was based on the Beast Machines form, so the Optimus Primal has a similar look. The design of the Optimus Primal figure was made to blend into the Jungle Planet aesthetic. In addition, a new red helmet and red armor adorned Optimus’s chest and head, which is a nod to the original figure’s blue helmet, is also included.

Optimus Primal is available in a variety of different forms. The most popular of these toys is the Ultra Class version. This figure has been repurposed as Primal Prime and has separate triggers for launching and lighting missiles. The original figure was released in Japan as a two-pack toy with a limited release. However, the Optimus Primal version was also available in a single-box version in Japan. This variant had a red head and chest plate, and the box art was by Hirofumi Ichikawa.

Boba Fett

When the 1980 sequel to Star Wars came out, the Kenner Toy Company promised an action figure of the character Boba Fett. The company did not give a release date, but a mail-in rebate program was introduced. Fans could send a proof-of-purchase form along with their purchase receipt to receive Boba Fett. At the time, the character had not yet been seen in the “Empire Strikes Back” movie, so the story behind his character was still a mystery. The Kenner Toy Company opted to make the figure more realistic by adding a weapon to his backpack, but decided against this design after safety concerns. Similar mail-in promotions continued to be offered up until 1984.

In July, a prototype of the Kenner Toy Company’s Boba Fett sold for $185,850. Just a few years earlier, it sold for $225,000. The price has since dropped dramatically. The original Boba Fett was supposed to be free for public distribution, but collectors were able to purchase the coveted toy for as much as $225,000.

Star Wars toys

Fans of Star Wars can find a wide variety of licensed Star Wars toys from Kenner Toy Company, including the iconic Jawas. These three-foot tall junkmen are based on Kenner VP Dave Okada’s cut-up sock, making them an extremely rare collectible. The Jawas Interactive Playset allows kids to play as a Jawa or build a droid. They can even use the Jawa’s telescoping saber which slides out of his right arm. Kenobi and Vader also have a telescoping saber, which comes with their action figures. Similarly, the Jawas’ sabers are removable and a replica of the Vader and Kenobi figures are also available.

Fans of Star Wars can collect these figures because they are usually made of plastic and are poseable at five points. These toys were produced by Kenner along with vehicles based on the Star Wars movies. They are typically packaged in plastic blisters with cardbacks. Kenner’s Star Wars action figures are often the most sought-after toys in the toy industry. Kenner’s line of action figures has also received many awards, including several for their re-releases.

Micro Collection

The Micro Collection was created by the Kenner Toy Company. The line consists of small figures like Darth Vader, Yoda, and the TIE Fighter. It also features vehicles from the movies and TV series. A playset for the character includes a deity chair and more than 20 accessories. Despite the success of these figures, Kenner’s Micro Collection didn’t fare as well. Despite the limited number of toys, the Micro Collection is still a great investment.

The Micro Collection’s popularity was brief. The Micro vehicles, playsets, and accessories all had cool features. Vehicles could be destroyed in battle, and pieces connected together via wires to rebuild the vehicle at the push of a button. The Micro vehicles and playsets also featured elements that exploded, spring-loaded doors, and carbonite-freeze chambers that swapped miniatures with a frozen Han Solo.
