The Kenner Story
We’ve been the kids at the grown-ups’ table of toy making since 1947. Back then, two brothers in Cincinnati started Kenner with soap bubbles and a wild idea that play should surprise you. Today, we’re still that company — the one that turned a movie about space wizards into the most coveted action figures on the planet, and made an oven that actually baked real treats with a light bulb.
Every toy company says they understand kids. We just happen to listen when they tell us adults are wrong. That’s how we ended up creating Play-Doh (yes, that was us first), bringing Star Wars home before anyone knew it would matter, and convincing parents everywhere that slime could be fun, not just mess. We’re not interested in making toys that look good in boardrooms. We care about the ones that end up sticky, worn out, and desperately loved.
Our designers don’t just sketch concepts — they raid their kids’ toy boxes, build blanket forts during lunch breaks, and test prototypes until security kicks them out. We’ve got engineers who can explain thermodynamics and still lose themselves in a good lightsaber battle. From our Cincinnati roots to design studios worldwide, we’re adults who never got the memo that growing up means growing boring. Some call us toy makers. We prefer “professional kids with really good dental plans.”

Skip the noise and get only what matters—before anyone else does.
Built for Real Play
Every Kenner toy starts with a simple question: will kids actually want to play with this tomorrow, next week, and next year? We don’t make collectibles or shelf decorations. We make toys that become part of childhood memories – the ones kids reach for first, fight over with siblings, and secretly keep playing with even when they think they’re too old.

Some Insights
Real Play Stories from Real Families
Brenda M.
“My son has been playing with his Star Wars figures every single day since Christmas. The Millennium Falcon playset survived a cross-country move AND my 4-year-old—that’s quality right there.”
Roberto C.
“Bought the Easy-Bake Oven for my daughter’s 8th birthday. Three months later, she’s still making treats for the whole neighborhood and calling herself a pastry chef. Worth every penny for the confidence boost alone.”
Nathan W.
“Got the Play-Doh Fun Factory set after our preschool teacher recommended it. My kid went from barely holding a crayon properly to having incredible fine motor skills in just a few months of playing.”

Common Questions
These toys are designed with high-quality plastics and reinforced joints that can handle regular play sessions. The materials are tested for impact resistance, though particularly rough handling may cause wear over time. Most pieces can withstand drops from table height without breaking.
Most items are designed for children ages 4 and up, with specific age recommendations clearly marked on each package. Some collectible lines may have small parts that aren’t suitable for children under 3. The age guidelines consider both safety factors and the complexity of play features.
Replacement parts for current product lines can typically be ordered through customer service within the first year of purchase. For discontinued items, third-party sellers and collector communities often have spare parts available. Keep the original receipt and product code for easier part identification.
Products with electronic features typically require batteries that are sold separately, though some may include demonstration batteries. The battery type and quantity needed are listed on the packaging. Standard AA or AAA batteries are most common, with some larger items requiring C or D batteries.
Most plastic toys can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water, then air-dried completely. Electronic components should be removed before cleaning if possible. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that might damage painted details or decals. Store pieces in a dry place to prevent moisture damage.
Many figures and vehicles from the same product line are designed to be compatible with each other. Standard-sized figures generally fit in vehicles and playsets from the same series. However, accessories from different themed lines may not always be interchangeable due to varying scales and connection types.
