2. Kenner’s star Wars action Figures
• A Year after the first Star Wars movie came out in 1978, the world of
action figures was immersed with Star Wars toys and action figures. Their
popularity increased sharply and the era of Star Wars action figures craze
started. After first wave of Kenner's 3 3/4'' action figures came out, ever
Star Wars fan boy became obsessed with completing the whole set.
• At that time, even the Kenner itself might have been baffled with the
popularity of Star Wars figures and would never had thought that they will
dominate the market for so many years. Some original Kenner figures have
even gone rare today. Collectors from all over the world are eager to add
them in their collection.
5. Darth Vader Telescoping Lightsaber, 1978
• It came out with the early Early Bird set along with Obi Wan and
Luke Skywalker. Like the other two, it also possessed a
Telescoping Lightsaber accessory. It was a small stick made of
plastic that could further extend to a thinner stick. However, this
accessory had two problems. First, it was difficult to manufacture
and second it was fragile. So, they changed it with single piece
stick from the next wave. The first version came out in very small
quantity because of which it is rare today.
• Estimated market value is $6000.
8. Vinyl Cape Jawa, 1978
• The first version of Jawa had a thin vinyl cape worn. But
this cape was changed with a sewn cloth robe from the
next wave. The Kenner might have thought that Jawa
had a same price as others but was smaller in size which
could be unfair to customers. So to make it fair they
replaced the vinyl cape.
• Its Estimated value is $2000.
11. Rocket Firing BobaFett, 1980
• It is a mysterious Star Wars action figure because there is doubt
that it does not even exist. It is believed that original
BobaFett figure had a missile accessory on its back that could
be fired. However, Kenner was worried that this accessory can
be dangerous so they fixed it permanently in the re-released
version. What makes it more mysterious is that the Kenner
had denied its existence, but some pieces have still
spotted in auction market
• Its estimated price is around $1000 to $2000.
14. Blue Snaggletooth, 1978
• Original Blue Snaggletooth figure was release in 1978. Some
believe that when Kenner was designing this figure they had no
reference for it except a black and white image of its head. The
body of this figure was based on another character’s body
that was 3 feet tall. However, its production was dropped soon.
This action figure could be the rarest Star Wars figure
today.
• Its Estimated market value is $400.
