In 1984, new packaging for Star Wars figures was introduced for the European market. A cost containment initiative, the new packaging sported three languages of the Return Of The Jedi logo for a “one size fits all” approach. Although a “three-logo” design was created for The Power Of The Force line (as evidenced on some ‘boxed’ toys), it wasn’t carried over to the basic figure line’s card design. They continued to use the three Return Of The Jedi logos instead. Although the word “Trilogo” is found nowhere on the packaging, the term is universally adopted by all Star Wars collectors to describe this line of figures.
Today we revisit Klaatu. For the Trilogo art, they recolored the image differently than the Kenner version. They also didn’t airbrush out the Jawa character on the Trilogo release either. See the full card art and additional notes by revisiting 1983’s RETURN OF THE JEDI Klaatu figure HERE.
