Colouring Book Theatre: Star Wars
Today’s colouring book was supposed to be Superman but I misplaced that (I tend to do that) so we’ll go with a book based on a little known movie called Star Wars.
This book is by Kenner, being the master toy licensor, they left no stone unturned. The book itself is rather bland, there is no story, rather it looks like it was created by a few folks in their design department amidst a pile of stills.
The art has a strong contrast, some of it is better than any book I’ve seen and other times it looks like children scribbled it.
One of the things I noticed was that none of the pages were coloured, this is because when Star Wars dawned, I was no longer a kid, I was a serious collector. Probably why I don’t really have a lot of nostalgia for SW merchandise but I digress…
Got a colouring book you’d like to guest review? Drop me a line!Previous Colouring Book Theatre Entries can be found here. Coming Next Week: Superman! (maybe)
kids love Walrus Man, its just a fact.
That one pic of the droid has me wondering if that’s supposed to be a Death Star Droid or if it’s an early look at 4-LOM from Empire Strikes Back.
Oh and I’m with you Walrus Man and Hammer Head all the way in 2008!
That is the Death Star Droid action figure prototype, taken from a still picture. You can find it doing a search.
