Kenner Star Wars Carrying Case Inserts

For years and years, my Kenner Star Wars figures were thrown into a plain old cardboard box. I finally dug them out last year and put them in their proper carrying cases. Along with the Kenner carrying cases, I wanted to complete the collection of inserts that came with the cases.

In this post, I finally got my hands on the rare Kenner insert that shows the prototype Boba Fett figures that was used in the marketing of the figure.






I did not know about this other insert for the Darth Vader head carrying case. Looks to be an early version since it only has the first set of Empire Strikes Back figures in it.




Here is the updated version. This is my original insert.

  1. As a kid,those inserts were essential.I used to hang on to all my Joe inserts just to go back and see what I was getting next or what new figures and sets were to be released.

    1. While I kept them, I didn't appreciate them until now. Interesting to see how many there actually were. Wish companies would make carrying cases and inserts today.

    1. Thanks Brian. Wasn't even aware of it until I saw it in a Hake's auction many moons ago.

  3. Nice score on the Fett insert! I've always loved the artwork on those vinyl cases.

    1. Thanks Dex. The artwork was great which is why I wish Kenner/Super7/Funko would make new ones. I have the new Super7 Alien carrying case with similar art. It's a great homage to the carrying case art of the past.
