  • Kenner Products was a toy company that was started in 1947. It was well known for creating toys based on popular movies and franchises, such as Star Wars, Ghostbusters, Aliens, Batman, Terminator, and Jurassic Park. It was purchased in 1967 by General Mills, who recently had also acquired Parker Brothers, the original owners of Nerf at the time. In 1985, Kenner Products was merged with Parker Brothers to create Kenner Parker Toys, Inc., which was quickly purchased by Tonka in 1987. Hasbro acquired Kenner Parker Toys when they purchased Tonka in 1991. Kenner continued producing the Nerf line until production warehouses and offices were closed in 2000 by the request of Hasbro, alongside OddzOn and Larami, both closed in 2001. Nerf products were included in Kenner catalogs starting in 1992 and featured prominently until 1997, when Nerf was also seen in Larami catalogs. After 1998, the Nerf brand was dropped from the Kenner catalog.

Under subsequent ownership of the General Mills Group Kenner Products acquired a master license from Lucasfilm Ltd. to produce all toys, games, and crafts based on the 1977 Star Wars film. Kenner, named after the street where the original corporate offices were located, manufactured a wide range of Star Wars–branded toys, with the most popular being their line of basic 3¾-inch action figures. In 1995, new Kenner brand owner Hasbro, Inc. reintroduced the Star Wars basic figure line, which has been in constant production since. Hasbro closed the Cincinnati offices of Kenner in 2000, and Kenner's product lines were merged into Hasbro's.
