Kenner Large Chewbacca and Darth Vader Action Figures for $8.99/each in 1978

This 1978 Mr. Wiggs newspaper ad shows off one of the rarer of the Kenner Star Wars toys of the late seventies, the large-scale action figures! I had the standard size figures when I was a kid, but the price of this larger action figures meant that I never owned any of them. Kinda sad now that I think about it, because it would have been much easier to collect all of the figures in this size than it was to try and collect the 3.75-inch scale Star Wars action figures. What’s worse? I still don’t have any of these toys!
