Kenner
Kenner Products was the name of a division of the CPG (General Mills) Products Corporation that is best known for producing action figures and playsets for the
Star Wars Trilogy from
1977-
1984. After Kenner acquired the license to produce Star Wars toys when the
Mego Corporation rejected it in
1976, Kenner created the industry standard 3.75 inch
action figure that continues to dominate the action figure toy market. Kenner was purchased by the toy company
Hasbro in the mid 1990's and ceased to exist in
2000.
