Catalog Description:
STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI Just like the one that CHEWBACCA wore in the movie. But this bandolier strap is made for kids...not WOOKIEES. It holds 10 Action Figures and includes two pouches for accessories and/or secret messages. Fits over the shoulder for play, even hangs for display. Action Figures sold separately. Ages 4 and up. Source: 1983 Kenner Toy Fair Catalog |
Description:
The Chewbacca Bandolier Strap was like an open invitation to a beat down. Just wear it outside with all of your favorite Star Wars figures clipped onto it, and watch bullies from miles around come running just for the chance to smack you.
In all seriousness, I don't think many of these things were sold at retail. It's an idea that probably looked really good on paper, but in reality it's just a really lame toy. To this day it's fairly easy to find in unused, packaged condition. Those looking for a loose example should be aware that it came with two of those blue accessory boxes.
First Issued: 1983 (ROTJ packaging)
Re-issues: None
