Beyond the Toys
Thursday, August 21, 2025
7:00-8:00PM
The Kenner Star Wars action figures and toys from 1977 to 1985 formed one of the most popular and enduring toy lines of all time, but they were only part of the licensing juggernaut for the original trilogy of movies. An unprecedented array of other products was sold with the Star Wars brand—apparel, food products, bedspreads, school supplies, and more. Did you know there was only one licensed spherical Death Star item released in the first twenty years of Star Wars merchandise? Or that a country in South America released tubs of margarine with character art from Return of the Jedi? Buy tickets to find out more about these and other humorous and obscure pieces from the Star Wars universe.
The museum is located at University of Missouri-Kansas City, 5235 Oak St, Kansas City, MO 64112, and if you do then let Duncan know you saw it on Fantha Tracks.
