Vintage Kenner Star Wars Toys by Year
The original Star Wars toy era changed quickly. Browsing by year reveals how Kenner's product system expanded from pre-figure promotions into action figures, vehicles, playsets, international programs and late-line collector material.
Year pages organize documented official releases around the date they entered a market, while still preserving territory and product-family identity. They are useful for seeing what collectors could encounter at a particular moment rather than flattening the entire 1977–1986 era into one list.
Start with the major turning points below, then move from each year into representative records and related releases.
