Galactic Heroes

Galctic Heroes are a series Star Wars toys, first created in 2001, (known then under the name of Playskool Star Wars Adventure), by Playskool, a division of Hasbro. They comprised of a series of figures, around 2.25" in height, although some differ, with limited articulation, and permanently attached weapons and blasters. They usually sold in sets of two, or in theme sets, such as X-Wing Adventure Playset, The Stompin' Wampa Playset, and Millennium Falcon Adventure. The sets feature chunky, cartoon-style, diminutive characters and vehicles from the Star Wars Universe, and are intended for use by children aged 3+, although they are collected by many adults.
