Lily Ledy ROTJ Chewbacca: Though most are familiar with them through their line of 12" Star Wars dolls, the Lili Ledy company held the Mexican toy license through Return of the Jedi, a film for which they produced a line of 33/4" action figures. Unlike the doll line, the small-scale figures were, for the most part, identical to the Kenner-developed figures which were issued around the world under the names of a wide variety of companies. The exceptions are in the accessories, as the Lili Ledy line featured numerous variations in weapons and clothing, some of which would make your eyes pop out they are so unusual. This Chewbacca is a typical example of the card fronts. The logo reads La Guerra de las Galaxias: El Regreso del Jedi. This is, in fact, the second variation on the logo, the first assortments of these figures bearing an El Retorno de Jedi moniker.

The backs of the cards are quite different from those of any other figure manufacturer, featuring a bland cardboard background and intricate line drawings of each figure.
