So the story goes that Kenner started loosing money on the Star Wars collections. They start the new Power of the Force line to get people interested in collecting again. Unfortunately that did not work and they stopped making Star Wars toys after this.
Fortunately for us collectors Kenner managed to finally make a Luke in Stormtrooper outfit!! It's a really good looking figure. Lukes body is very similar to the original Stormtrooper design, even though he has a wider stance. Luke's head does not turn, which is very odd for Kenner to do. The helmet goes on very well but it has to be turned a bit or Luke's nose gets scratched.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get Luke to hold the blaster well. It kept falling. Argh!!! Still a very nice figure, and one we wanted and needed even during the original run of the Star Wars figures.
The one really cool aspect of this line is the inclusion of the metal coin. Looks greta on display next to the figure.
It would have been awesome if Kenner had made the Han Solo figure in stormtrooper outfit also. Oh well.
