The caption reads “LJN is aiming for success in the forthcoming movie “Dune” as this reproduction of a scene from the film in the toy company’s Toy Fair showroom proved.”

The article goes on to mention “LJN will also be involved in producing
a line of products for “Dune,” a Universal Pictures release. The
movie is based on a best selling science fiction novel which already has
several sequels in print. It seems quite probable that Dune will be a long-term line for LJN.”

Narrator “It wasn’t.”
