Behind the scenes

Hairstyles from Kenner's Leia large-size action figure package

The name "Star Burst" originated from the directions and wrapping of the big Leia action figure made by Kenner. This toy came with a comb and brush, inviting kids to experiment with different hairstyles. In addition to "Star Burst", the packaging showcased four additional styles: Star Puffs (the iconic look from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope), Star Swirl, Lunar Loops, and Sun Sweep.
