World's Greatest Toys Magazine: 
Issue #9 - A New Digest 

4th Moon is proud to be an official distributor for World's Greatest Toys Magazine. If there's such a thing as vintage toy journalism, then WGT is it. I was really impressed by their Issue IX and wanted to bring these UK magazines to a North American audience.

We are also offering a Bundle Deal for all three issues together - while supplies last! 

Issue IX delves into a bunch of great stuff surrounding the first Star Wars movie and the licensees that brought us the toys. There's a ton of information I learned from this issue, including a deep dive into the Chinese manufacturing of the toys.

All three issues form a tryptic when lined up together. I especially love the vintage price tags!

From the publisher:

Issue IX: A NEW DIGEST
Every Star Wars kid knows about Kenner's infamous Early Bird Certificate Package. But there is so much more to the story, which has never been published… until now. This issue also introduces the 28 "Early Bird" companies licensed to manufacture Star Wars merchandise in 1977, with fascinating insights and never-before-published material from the first eight companies: Ballantine Books/Del Rey, Don Post Studios, Marvel Comics, George Fenmore Associates, 20th Century Records, The Image Factory, General Mills and Kenner Toys. There is also a deep dive into Early Bird company Factors, Etc., which enjoyed an expansive and category-defying reach across the Star Wars merchandising galaxy.
