SSP stood for "Super Sonic Power" and it was one of Kenner's flagship brands in the 1970s, mostly because of the popularity of "Smash Up Derby" a toy that combined boys love of cars with their desire to wreck stuff (Genius).
1978 saw a lot of goodness with the introduction of Monsters, Vans and Star Wars to the line, such a cool brew of fun.

I LOVED SST stuff! Never had much of it, but always wanted every one of them.
ReplyDeleteI still have my Darth Vader van (amazingly, it survived Katrina.) Let me know if you need pics.

I had the Smash-Up Derby and it was probably the coolest toy I ever owned, even though I might have been a year or two too young to appreciate the sheer awesomeness of such a thing. I remember gazing at the box for hours too, looking at the other shiny SST cars, wishing they were all mine.
