Series VI: Action Figures

Series VI: Action Figures (Boxes 20-30, 1977-1996) contains 125 character action figures approximately 3 inches in height; and creatures and vehicles featured in the films. They were produced by Kenner Products. Of note are several rare action figures sold before the first film release in 1977. Many are fragile and have removable accessories, such as helmets and weapons. Accessories are housed with the associated action figure. Also of note are action figures in original packaging (Box 30).

Figures produced prior to release of the first film (1977) were sometimes identified using phoenetic spelling rather than alpha-numeric. Manufacturers used the phoenetic spelling found in the screenplay as their resource. The common alphanumeric spelling was used after 1977. Figures are labeled using the alphanumeric character name, which conforms to Library of Congress convention. Phoenetic names that appeared on the original packaging are documented in the notes for those figures.

Duplicate figures may be from different manufacturers and may have noticeable production variations, e.g., face paint, hair color, skin color or paint precision. This series is arranged first numerically, then alphabetically by character name. Box 29 contains action figures that Salerno displayed on playsets (Series IX) in his office. Bulk dates are 1977-1984.
