Star Wars DataTalk Conceptual Mock Up Power of the Force, 1998

In 1998, Kenner created this hand-made conceptual mock up figure to pitch a line of action figures with "Real Movie Dialogue" on small compact chips.  This line was later branded as "CommTech" or "CommTalk" in some countries outside the United States.

​

Kenner partnered with a company called Innovision Research & Technology to produce real working versions of this technology.
