Star Wars – Toys

I think we all remember the classic Star Wars toys from our childhood.

Yes the good old Kenner Star Wars action figures which have been followed by Hasbro, Lego and so many more. Star Wars is still the most successful toy franchise in the world and not without a reason. It would seem that everything in the Galaxy far far away can be made into a toy or a collectible. Or, it could be said that everything about the franchise can be turned into a marketed product. Just think about the Adidas x Star Wars collection or the most recent Star Wars x Medicom Kubrick series.

Or if that’s not enough for you, you can also opt for the Kubrick 400% Silver C-3PO. This limited edition Kubrick Droid is available from Medicom in August, but the pre-orders start at the end of the month.

Medicom’s collaboration is just the latest one, but Star Wars has been and still is on every corner, like it or not. It will be interesting to see how the Star Wars will be the part of the next generation being that it had such a huge impact on us. There are more and more Star Wars series and games coming out not to mention the availability of the classic movies (where’s the HD re-release at?). My kids will definitely be exposed to the Star Wars just for the fact that I’m such a huge fan of the movies, but I have a hunch they will be more into the Jedi Knights cartoons and Lego Star Wars games than the actual movies. We’ll see how that goes.

That’s all for this little Toys edition. We’ll be back with more later so stay tuned. I’m out, peace.
