While you do still see point of purchase action figure display bins and hanging signs from time to time (like right now actually...), they are all an important part of the history of the Original Kenner Collection. In the US, Kenner produced five different display bins for the Star Wars figures between 1978-79. Follow this link to check out one of the 1978 12 Back bin headers.

Droid
Poll
What if Hasbro were to offer a new line of larger scale figures that put a focus on screen accuracy? The Probe Droid is curious if you'd walk away from the 3 3/4" line in favour of something new that catered more to adult collectors.
I'd be willing to start from scratch.
I'd be into it only if they were super articulated.
I'd only be into it if sculpt and silhouette were the main focus.
I might get a few, but I don't think I'm ready to start something new.
I'm only interested in 3 3/4" figures.
I don't collect the Hasbro stuff.
