Released between 1993 and 1995, Just Toys Star Wars Bend-Ems trading cards came packaged with toys. And if the cards look familiar, it’s by design. They’re essentially renumbered reprints of 1993 Topps Star Wars Galaxy Series 1 and Series 2 cards.
Each of the bendable action figures (think Gumby meets The Force) comes with one of the cards. Most match the corresponding figure but some of the cards have more expansive images. Also available are gift packs of four figures that have four cards.
All told, the 1993-95 Just Toys Star Wars Bend-Ems set has 28 cards. There’s also a Star Wars Galaxy Series 1 checklist that was available exclusively through a mail-in offer. The checklist is a slight variation over the one inserted in regular card packs. The only difference is that the Bend-Ems mail-in one states, “Series One (Look for Series Two in 1994).” The regular checklist simply states “Series One.”
