1979 Star Wars Action Figures Newspaper Ad
If you dig deep enough you can run across strange things, like this newspaper ad for Star Wars action figures and the Land of the Jawas playset. From the November 5, 1979 issue of Owosso Michigan’s Argus-Press, this advertisement gives us another peek at how the world saw the Kenner Star Wars action figures of the seventies: as little B&W illustrations in a newspaper ad!
On the left is a close shot of the Star Wars part of the ad while the right shares the full newspaper ad for Tradeway’s “Toyland.”
