I got the interceptor for Christmas one year and it was the best Christmas ever... then the same day the mechanism that holds the wing on broke and it became the worst Christmas ever. Yay I had a one winged Tie Interceptor
@evilflynn= First of all, I agree with you about Vader and the interceptor. Second. You try doing a good James Earle Jonesimitation when you're 9 years old.
@vigo894 I stand by my comments- that kid should be embarrassed for that poor excuse for "acting"- that dumb kid couldn't act his way out of a paper bag!
Personally, I liked the British commercial for the TIE Interceptor alot better...mainly because they just has a narrator and none of the kids doing any dialogue...except in that one advert for the AT-AT and Snowspeeder.
Featuring Madine and PruneFace in the Falcon(one of the coolest toys ever made)was intended to help sell those two figures at greater frequency.Also,at that particular time,it was nearly impossible to find Han and Chewbacca in any toy store. Every time I went all that was left was Lobot,Madine,Prune Face,one of the Skiff Guards,and Ewoks. Everything else was picked over(Kenner must have picked up on these trends),so the background characters were often featured in these ads to sell more of them.
Hear, Hear... I remember having to even special order a Han Solo from Kenner when I was 7; noone had him at all and I combed all of Northern New Jersey toy stores to find him.
I know. It's like nowadays I had to look in the secondary market for an Episode III Concept Art Anakin Skywalker from the current line...paid $30 for him.
PRUNE FACE! "When the face is a prune, action goes 'BOOM!'"

How many Falcons did Kenner toys design and market? Was there only one design sold, or did they fashion design different ones?

"Pruneface"? That is kind of insulting! Vader is holding his lightsaber by the way.

Mabe they should have had the kid talk into a tin can to get the Vader voice effect. XD

Kennar made such wonderful toys, but you still had to use a football [soccer ball] as the Death Star!

I loved the Interceptor and of course, the Falcon was the best vehicle of the vintage Kenner line.

I've seen it all now, Madine and Prune Face piloting the Falcon. Surprised it didn't explode upon takeoff.

I don't think a kid in the 80s ever put Prune Face and Gen. Madine behind the control of the Millenium Falcon.
This is pretty advanced looking for a 1980's toy commercial.

Commercials Were So Stupid Back Then. But I See How It Would Inspire A Kid Too Want It.
