Shadows of the Empire in the 1996 Hasbro Toy Fair Catalog
As part of my current project on Kickstarter I am creating a book dedicated to Kenner’s 1996 Shadows of the Empire action figures and vehicles. That subline of Star Wars toys was based on Lucasfilm’s big 1996 multimedia project, and today I’d like to go back to 1996 and share with you these pages from Hasbro’s Toy Fair catalog.
Enjoy the pages, and don’t forget that my book project closes in one more week. Please check it out before the clock runs out of time!

Cool pics! That cover is totally 90s-tastic too.
@Wolf – Notice Xisor’s red weapons in the Toy Fair catalog? In the end they were blue! http://www.rebelscum.com/soteKxizor.asp
For some obnoxious reason I could never get into SotE when it came out, but I did like the Outrider. Of course NOW I wish I’d totally been on that bandwagon. I’m currently hunting for Sentinel and Snoova figures for my desk. I think I was put off by Xizor and his butterfly ship, but even that looks pretty cool.
Also, how the heck did Galoob pass up making the Outrider for the Action Fleet series? I know there was a Micro Machine version, but those little hand-swoopable ships were the best!
