New Kenner toys shown at Cincinatti toy show: BARELY ANY
Other than Blast Shield Luke, a few new packaged figures (Ewoks, Endor Leia,
Biggs) and a couple boxed toys (Expanded Universe, Power FX X-Wing), it's
the same old thing. Many of you seemed to ignore a statement made by Kenner,
the gist of which follows: Y-Wing fighter, B-Wing Fighter, Shuttle Tyderium
(aka Imperial Shuttle), and Aunt Beru are NOT coming in 1998, and with the
exception of Beru, probably won't be coming in POTF2 at all. New Kenner
releases: 4" size: Tauntaun w/ Luke Skywalker, and unconfirmed sightings of
Luke Bespin, Endor Dress Leia, Rebel Commando, and General Lando.
