Palitoy

Palitoy was a British toy manufacturer that made Star Wars action figures and vehicles during the original trilogy's release—the Star Wars toy line of 1978, The Empire Strikes Back toy line of 1980, and the Return of the Jedi toy line of 1983—as well as 1985's The Power of the Force toy line. Based in Coalville, Leicestershire, where hundreds of employees designed, tested, manufactured, and packaged many of the Star Wars toys, Palitoy contracted various manufacturers in Hong Kong to produce a bulk of the toy lines' action figures for both itself and its American sister company, Kenner.
