Kenner introduced its
popular
Girder & Panel Building Sets construction toy in
1957,
the
Give-a-Show projector in
1959,
the
Easy-Bake Oven in
1963,
the
Spirograph drawing toy in
1966,
and the Starting Lineup sports action figure collectible line in
1988.
It was a
pioneer in the use of
television as a medium for advertising toys across the
United States,
beginning in 1958.. The company was purchased by
General Mills in
1967.
In
1970,
General Mills merged its
Rainbow Crafts division into Kenner Products,The
Blythe doll with her changing eye colour was released in
1972 and soon withdrawn
from the market. From the late 1990s
second-hand Blythes have become a highly
expensive collectable
and perhaps the most famous doll
marketed by Kenner.
Kenner Products obtained the rights to produce action figures
and playsets for the
Star Wars trilogy from
1977-1984.
Kenner popularized the 3.75 inch
action figure that became an industry standard and continues
to dominate the action figure toy market. They also produced
toys related to the popular 70s TV series
The Six Million Dollar Man. In 1981,
One of Kenner's most highly acclaimed lines was the Super Powers
Collection. These action figures were based on the famed
superheroes of DC Comics. What made the line so successful was
that the characters were modeled almost exactly from the style
guide of the company.
In 1985, General Mills spun off its Kenner and Parker toy
divisions to form Kenner Parker Toys, Inc. Kenner Parker was
acquired by Tonka in 1987. Under Tonka management, Kenner
Products was reconstituted as a division.
Tonka (including Kenner) was purchased by the toy company Hasbro
in mid-1991. and Kenner's product lines were merged into
Hasbro's.
