Boba Fett 3 3/ 4” vintage figure

-

Of course the galaxy’s biggest badass was going to sell for mega- bucks, but there are special reasons why this particular Han Solo- snatcher sold for an eye- watering £ 15k. “Originally this figure was only available as a ‘ mail- a- way’ freebie in the UK – acquired by redeeming parts of card backs posted off to Palitoy,” say Vectis. “Consequent­ly when it hit shops as a 30B card, most kids already had the figure. This iconic character is highly collectabl­e in all forms, and those collectors with a run of 30B cards find it almost impossible to find the Boba Fett in this packaging variation. Supply and demand dictates this to be one of the most desirable production

3 figures.”
