Way back voordat Hasbro Star Wars toys maakte, was het Kenner die speelgoed in de jaren 70 en 80 voor George Lucas uitbracht. Daarbij zaten de meest coole dingen, daarom heeft de website Topless Robot nu deze top tien gemaakt. Grappig is dat ik de helft van deze speeltjes ook daadwerkelijk begin jaren 80 heb gehad, juh ik was een verwend kut kind. Maar wel één met de stoerste Star Wars toys ooit.

3) Tauntaun (With Open Belly)

Realizing that fans desperately wanted to recreate the scene in which Han Solo slits open a Tauntaun to protect Luke as he builds an icy shelter, Kenner released a variant of the beast with an open belly (okay, it was a great way for them to make some extra coin as well). Nevertheless, such attention to detail reinforces how committed the company was to pleasing kids by releasing durable, fun toys with hours of play value. If memory serves, most of my 1982 was spent with the tauntaun here in my possession -- much to the dismay of some unenlightened teachers. Oddly enough, when the tauntaun was re-released in 1998 the open belly variant was nixed. You're guess is as good as mine as to why, I'm just fortunate that I didn't miss out on this bizarre little action feature during my adolescence. Also I should add that the endless screaming of "WAMPA" in the above commercial thrills me endlessly.
