The Early Birds of Star Wars Merchandising

Almost nobody predicted the success of Star Wars. 20th Century Fox authorized just 28 companies to manufacture Star Wars products before and during 1977. During this lecture by Benjamin Holcomb, author of Mego 8: Super-Heroes: World's Greatest Toys! (TwoMorrows, 2007) and the publisher of World's Greatest Toys Digest, we will celebrate those “early birds” and share some fascinating stories and history behind the greatest merchandising property ever produced.

Register now, and lecture attendees will receive a free poster of Star Wars Toys!
