Kenner Planned a “Luke in Robes” Action Figure?
The Kenner Toys account on Twitter is fun, posting pics of classic Kenner action figures, toys, and anything at all related to the company. And a recent tweet took me a little by surprise since it showed off a Luke Skywalker action figure that I cannot remember seeing before. Clearly, I need to find time to explore this entire situation.
