Kenner first became famous for successful toy lines such as Easy Bake Oven, Give-a-Show Projector and Spirograph. In TheSeventies, it got into licensed action figures with ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' and ''Series/TheBionicWoman''. Both lines did well, but they were mere preludes for the
franchise that really made Kenner: ''Franchise/StarWars'', an unexpected smash hit that propelled Kenner into the front ranks of the toy industry. ''Star Wars''' blockbuster success enabled Kenner to get more big licenses, such as Creator/DCComics and ''Franchise/IndianaJones''. The firm's later successes included ''WesternAnimation/TheRealGhostbusters'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' and ''Franchise/JurassicPark''.
