I can see that, sure. Something like that is at least the result of a conscious decision on the part of the vendor, rather than one of the paint masks just being clogged or the girl who paints the figure's belt buckle not showing up that day. Honestly, I don't think there's a "right" or a...

Thanks again for having me on, guys! I really had a lot of fun! :) Tommy

They were apparently going to be though. I've got a Canadian Kea Moll quality control sample that's marked "For Palitoy." Tommy

No, they'd always planned on doing that in order to get something on the shelves in time for Christmas. While I'm sure worries about another company, like Ideal, coming along and releasing Star Wars-ish figures and stealing Kenner's thunder played a role in that strategy, they'd always planned...

Not a problem! Glad we were able to clear up the issue. Never hurts to double-check sources and make sure that everyone has their ducks in a row. I know I recently finished a book describing all the deaths to have ever taken place inside a Disney park, and I sure ran into my fair share of...

That's a direct quote from the court case, not my personal opinion or disinformation being perpetuated. Fox initially pitched the SW brand to Ideal (and most certainly other companies) on February 14, 1977. They presented the license in late-February at Toy Fair, and signed the deal with...

The Star Wars Collectors Archive Blog just posted a couple new articles, if anyone's interested. I wrote about Star Wars related court cases, such as the Kenner employee caught stealing a case of Luke figures in 1979, LFL suing over an unlicensed Star Wars pornographic film, Kenner's claims...
