Force fact:

The Large Size Action Figures sold nowhere nearly as well as their 3 3/4 inch counterparts. Speaking of counterparts, C-3PO and R2-D2 among the six released in 1978 as J.C. Penney Christmas Catalog Exclusives. Overall Kenner sold nearly 2.5 MILLION of the 12 different small figures in 1978 alone (ALONE!) and for the large figures…R2-D2 outsold the C-3PO by a mere 14,000 to 13,400.
