One Year After Release and the Expanded Universe Was Still Wanted!
If we take a look at the Top 10 action figures listed in the September, 1999 issue of ToyFare magazine then we can find two of Kenner’s nine different 1998 Star Wars Expanded Universe action figures were still in the top ten wanted toys. The bulky and sweet Dark Trooper comes in at the number seven spot while Mara Jade is at number nine. That’s a pretty good showing considering just how many toys were released at the time.
I wonder where these same toys would find themselves on a ‘Top 10 Toys of 1998″ list if someone were to put energy into researching sale prices and number of people seeking these out. Probably not even register in the top ten.
Anyway, enjoy the two pages and then take a look at my new book project for more on the Expanded Universe action figures of 1998.
