Join Star Wars super collector Duncan Jenkins at The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures in Kansas City, Missouri, on Thursday, September 18th, between 7pm – 8pm for a talk looking at Star Wars Toys Worldwide, from countries including Argentina, Japan, Turkey, USA and the UK.
Star Wars Toys Worldwide
Thursday, September 18, 2025 – 7:00-8:00PMDid you have the 1978 C-3PO action figure? Did it shoot missiles from its chest? Probably not, unless you lived in Japan. Was your Hoth Snowtrooper action figure blue? Not unless you had the “Blue Stars” action figure sold in Turkey. These are just a couple of examples of how the Star Wars action figures and toys around the world differed from the Kenner line familiar to kids growing up in the USA from 1977 to 1985. Buy tickets to look at the far-reaching popularity of those toys from Argentina to the United Kingdom and what was unique in other countries: different packaging, different sizes, and even completely different toys.
