Kenner released a collection of 96 action figures in their Star Wars range between 1977 and 1985, excluding special figures like the original blue Snaggletooth, the Rebo Band, and certain variations. After the debut of an action figure, details in the packaging, the name, and shape of the figure were subject to change. No one characteristic (name, shape or product number) completely defines a complete list, but rather all the characteristics taken together.
List There are 96 action figures listed below, though the final card-back promoted a full line of 93 action figures. This is because when Kenner produced new versions (with new, unique product numbers) of R2-D2 and action figures, they discontinued previous versions. Two versions of R2-D2 were discontinued, as well as one version of C-3PO.
The identical name "Bespin Security Guard" is given to two action figures. The first figure (No. 39810) is white, the second figure (No. 69640) is black. On card-backs the two Bespin Security Guards are shown separately, but still labeled with the same name. C-3PO (Removable Limbs) – No. 69430 / No. 69600 – was finally confirmed to exist on a U.S. release 45-Back The Empire Strikes Back card in 2018.
Additional action figures, consisting of a taller blue Snaggletooth, and the three members of the Rebo Band (Max Rebo, Sy Snootles and Droopy McCool), were produced for inclusion in Kenner Star Wars toy sets, but were never released on blister cards. Jabba the Hutt and several other creatures were also produced for the line, but are not generally considered part of the action-figure lineup.
