ISP-6 Imperial Shuttle Pod
- Return Of The Jedi
- Opening Cockpit
- 2 Movable Laser Cannons
- Manually operating Wings and automatic landing gear
Force fact:
Of all the ROTJ Mini Rigs this one is the best in my opinion. It had great play value as an Imperial Shuttle (which was not released until the following year).


AST-5 Armored Sentinel Transport
- Return Of The Jedi
- Tri-logo
- Opening Cockpit
- 2 Movable Laser Cannons
- Movable Wings
Force fact:
Like the previous Mini-Rigs they are vehicles “just off screen.” We now refer to these as Expanded Universe toys. Toys which were not in the film but were in the background and were similar to other items of the time. Kenner would release four in total for ROTJ as well as two for the Ewoks.


Ewok Village Playset
- Return Of The Jedi
- Tri-logo
- Working Elevator and escape chute
- Net Trap and swinging boulder
- Throne and fire pit
Force fact:
This was the “big” set for Christmas 1983 even though the price point of several of the new vehicles were about the same. Pretty cool set that is later reused by Kenner for the Robin Hood line as were other Ewok vehicles and playsets.


Y-Wing Fighter
- Return Of The Jedi
- Tri-logo
- Opening Cockpit holds 1 pilot plus a port for an R2 unit
- Rotating cannon with a removable bomb
- Retractable landing gear and removable engine pods
- Laser sound and light
Force fact:
Two “C” batteries not included.
The Y-Wing was prominent in the movie Return of the Jedi but was in all the original Star Wars movies. Long overdue release of the great Rebel Alliance bomber.


TIE Interceptor
- Return Of The Jedi
- Tri-logo
- Opening Cockpit holds 1 pilot
- Pop Off Battle Damage Wings
- Laser sound and light
Force fact:
Two “AA” batteries not included.
Kenner reused the mold to the original Darth Vader Tie Fighter to make this toy hence the 1978 date on the cockpit. This ship was the newest version of the Tie Fighter with the Darth Vader Tie Fighter being the prototype.


Speeder Bike
- Return Of The Jedi
- Tri-logo
- Working Action Speed flaps
- Break apart front end
- Holds one pilot figure (sold separately of course)
Force fact:
One of the most popular of the Star Wars Vehicles the Speeder Bike was one of the least expensive, almost belonging to the Mini Rig class.


Jabba the Hutt Playset
- Return Of The Jedi
- Platform with working prisoner gates
- Jabba’s Pipe and bowl as well as a slave chain
- Set comes with 2 new figures; Jabba the Hutt and Salacious Crumb
Force fact:
Unlike most Creatures released by Kenner Jabba the Hutt was given his own playset and accessories as well as Salacious Crumb. Very well done set that sold well it had great play value with the dungeon underneath Jabba himself.


Jabba the Hutt Dungeon I
- Return Of The Jedi
- Working Crane
- Torture hook/Branding iron holds droids upside down
- Set comes with 3 new figures: Nikto, 8D8 and Klaatu Skiff Guard
Force fact:
Kenner reused the mold to the base of the Droid Factory to make this toy. Like previous items that included figures this was released early in the line and was, at the time, a Sears exclusive.


Battle Damaged Imperial TIE Fighter
- Return Of The Jedi
- Opening Cockpit holds 1 pilot
- Pop Off Battle Damage Wings
- Laser sound and light
- Extra stickers showing Battle Damage
Force fact:
Two “AA” batteries not included.
Kenner reused the mold to the original Tie Fighter to make this toy hence the 1978 date on the cockpit. Originally this was to be released, like the Battle Damaged X-Wing, in the ESB line but for reasons unknown it was not done until the ROTJ line.


Yak Face
- Power Of The Force
- Tri-logo
- Staff
Force fact:
I debated on whether or not to include this figure in the list as it was not released in the US by Kenner. However due to its popularity it is included here. The Yak Face was cancelled as the Star Wars line was discontinued in stores across the US. As it is with tail enders (the last toys of a line) they were much more limited in quantities and often dumped in overseas markets. Yak Face is a little more complicated that that. First off the POTF version was released in Canada and subsequently in Australia in Canadian packaging. So it is part of the POTF line if not as a US release.
Things get more interesting from there. Palitoy (the UK toy line) added him to the Tri-Logo line of figures released in Europe. However in this package he comes with no weapon and obviously no coin. What is even more convoluted is that sales in Europe then died off and Palitoy dumped Tri-Logo figures back in the United States. Kay-Bee Toys, and possibly other stores, carried some of these figures on clearance here in the States and for a very brief time Yak Face could be found in the US. But only after Kenner dumped them on Palitoy in Europe and they then turned around and dumped them in the US on KB Toys. What a circuitous route to take for a toy! Anyway that makes it part of the US release in our list.
