Kenner Germany was a sub-division of the German Parker group (Parker Spiele und Spielzeug), but the complexity of the sub-divisions was abandoned during the "Empire" era, and all the toys were directly distributed by Parker only...

There's a lot of known imported ESB Palitoy cards with the Germen "Kenner" sticker applied on it... I quickly recall a white Leia Organa, a Rebel Commander, Darth Vader,..."

Diffo an interesting item What do you guys think? I for one have never seen one before? 8)

never seen it before either, i know some sellers will apply stickers to rarer cardbacks to make them even "rarer"

happens quite a lot, im not saying this is the case but it has to be taken into account, as they only ever seem to appear on an expensive figure.

That is a lovely FX7. It looks flawless, except for the ugly Kenner stickers :lol:

I wonder if the stickers had any effect on the value? Could be a tough one to find on a 41 back.

and to add to that, it would be an easy sticker to fake....not that I am saying this one is fake....but in light of everything going on in the world of copies...you never know.

My Palitoy 41 bk Princess Leia had the same two Kenner stickers on the card when I bought it a few years ago. I managed to remove them without damaging the card,there was a price sticker underneath them though. Not sure if they were applied to conceal the price sticker or not, I just wanted them off the card.
That fx-7 is the only other Palitoy card I have seen with those stickers on,not sure how many others there may be out there???

 

[tiefighterboy]

Do you think it lowered the price of yours by removing those kenner stickers?

No idea, not thought about it really,I just didn't like the look of them so got rid.
