| Kenner 39000 Display Bin and Header for Action Figures - 21-Back Assortment | |
This is the rarest of the three bin headers released in the United States, the other two being those issued with the 12 and 20-back figure assortments, both of which shipped in the months immediately prior to this display's appearance sometime in 1979. Its an attractive display, distinguished by its circular movie photos of the characters, but it probably saw limited distribution, as the Star Wars line came to an end not long after its release. 1980 catalog photos do show an ESB version of this display, but these appear to have turned up only in Canada. It should be noted that this item wasn't a stand-alone merchandising aid; rather, it was integral to the manner in which Kenner shipped the figures to retailers, the product having shipped inside the ready-to-use display. As seen in the photo, a plastic tray was included to hold the carded figures in place. |
