Kenner Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure Speaker & Tape Prototype

Kenner Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure Speaker & Tape Prototype

This is a packaging prototype for the 1991 Wyld Stallyns Speaker & Tape toy from the Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure toy line.  Engineers at Kenner would create mock-ups of toy packages using whatever spare cardboard they had on hand.  In this case they attached a prototype of the speaker and a generic cassette to a 1991 Starting Lineup baseball proof card.

Package samples like this would be used for anything from getting  a feel for what the finished product would look like, to testing how the toy would fit inside the plastic bubble.
