[QUOTE="Mini99, post: 491601, member: 8198"] Thanks, very interesting read, didn’t know a lot of that ! With regards the Cantina aliens I suspect that the colours were used to appeal to kids, i.e. colourful rather than screen accurate. Remember these were cheap toys! As for the paint choices on other figures these choices must have been influenced by costs, as Kenner were all about extacting maximin proft as we see in other playsets etc. Kenner could have done so many things different if they thought for one minute that anyone would be asking these questions in 40 years time. To them this was a toy line linked to a movie and these type of lines were normally very short lived back then and for that matter even now. [/QUOTE]
