STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI
ACTION FIGURE ACCESSORIES

Made for realistic battle action play! The new EWOK Combat Glider is a realistic model of the same EWOK Glider everyone remembers in the movie STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI. The toy features an adjustable harness which fits most Action Figures (not included) and an action lever designed to drop "boulders" on the enemy.

Description:
Look there, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's Logray, the Ewok medicine man, and he's flying in his spiffy Ewok Combat Glider! The toy basically consisted of a molded piece of tan plastic, a flexible rubber harness, and two hollow plastic "boulders." But it was pretty cool for what it was-- a low price-point reproduction of an implement that was actually seen in Return of the Jedi.

Although Kenner had plans to issue this toy as a part of their animated Ewoks line (it even appears on the reverse of the Ewoks blister card), it never made it beyond 1984 and Return of the Jedi packaging.
