The highly prized Star Wars collectible was just auctioned off for over half a million dollars.
It’s not surprising that a pristine example of Kenner’s notoriously rare Boba Fett action figure with “rocket-firing” action—never released to the public after being deemed a choking hazard—commanded a jaw-dropping sum at a recent auction. But $525,000 is quite the handsome bounty.
” This latest sale featured one of only two surviving examples of a hand-painted version of the never-released, circa-1979 figure, hence the increase in value; incredibly, it only exists today because someone at Kenner rescued it “from a box of discarded toys deposited there for employees to take home.” Heritage also notes that “this miniature Mandalorian also bested a Barbie to become the most valuable vintage toy sold at auction.
