Kenner Jedi

So instead of Leia, this ad features slave General Madine, the most boring Kenner figure ever IMO (and the last figure I ever purchased, talk about going out with a whimper.) Even Jabba seems to be yawning.

Who didn't want a Han Solo laser-pistol, while growing up? 😀 😀

Oh wow…come to think of it, the good General may have been my last figure, too! I remember my mom bringing him home to me from a shopping trip to Kmart. He was the worst…he didn't even come with a gun, just a white pointer! lol

I remember getting the Jabba and Imperial Attack bas playsets for Christmas. Still have them. That Jabba Dungeon is an obvious recycled Droid Factory (still have mine with the box).

I had Jabba the Hutt around this time (I was six or seven), and I used the Princess Leia in Boussh disguise as the chained-up slave due to the lack of a metal bikini Leia figure on Kenner's behalf.

Anybody else have trouble rembering the Imperial Attack Base scene in Return Of The Jedi? XD

The Jabba playset was an elegant piece, start to finish. Displays more like a proper diorama than just a "toy".
