Many of my first memories are of Star Wars. Watching the first film on our tiny black and white TV, which was more static than picture. Watching the second and third in a double-bill at Bangor cinema, most of which my younger brother slept through. But most of all, the endless days playing with my Star Wars figures in the rock garden my dad had built. Our garden looked out onto the vast quarries of Bethesda and the mountains beyond, and it was a perfect backdrop.
Between 1978 and 1985 Kenner released a vast number of figures and toys at prices that could put them in the hands of most kids. Some were so common you'd end up with several of the same figure, but some were so rare, the only place you’d ever see them was on the list of available figures on the back of the blister-pack they came in.
This visualisation analyses the colours of each figure. It’s a simple one, but if you were alive back then you should be able to guess many of the figures from their colours alone.
