Star Wars Imperial Troop Transporter by Kenner (Commercial, 1980)

Views: 1418

Here's a commercial for the Star Wars Imperial Troop Transport by Kenner. Can fit a Storm Trooper action figure inside (sold separately, of course). Makes all of six sounds including cannon firing, the voice of C3P0 asking where R2D2 is, and R2's response. Notice the reference to a "stun gun" - years before such a term became associated with a real-life weapon used by police.

This airing fell a few months prior to the release of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
