Way back in 1995 Kellogg Cereals offered to Star Wars fans the chance to get a Han Solo as a Stormtrooper action figure by mailing in cereal coupons.
The promotion coincided with Lucasfilms' reissue of the original Star Wars Trilogy in theaters upgraded with digital effects and extra scenes.
The partially articulated figure came in a small white box with the figure contained within a plastic bag.
The helmet removed from the head revealing Han Solo’s familiar mug.
I sent away for one for each of my kids-I still have them here at home (the toys not the kids-they’re both grown up and have a kid each of their own).
Both of our kids were thrilled when they received their Han Solo as a Stormtrooper figures. I have them tucked away in a box and someday when my wife and I have passed on, maybe, just maybe, our kids will look back fondly and remember what a simple act of kindness meant to them.
Perhaps they’ll pass the figures on to their kids along with a few other mementos of their childhood items.
Better still they’ll talk of my wife and I and know just how much we loved them.
Psalms 55:22 - Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
