“All 12 of your favorites plus 9 exciting new action figures.”
Walrus Man. Hammerhead. Boba Fett. These are the three action figures we can easily spot in this Sears newspaper ad from 1979. The “choose from 21 in all” line really drives home how early this ad was released. I never did own all of the figures in the line, but by about 1981/1982 I had a fairly healthy chunk of the Kenner Star Wars action figures in my collection.
