One of the Rarest Star Wars Toys Ever Made Could Be Yours

You will need many, many galactic credits to win the auction for the coveted rocket-firing Boba Fett, part of a new auction of Star Wars memorabilia.

Tomorrow is May the Fourth, but you have a few more weeks to save up ahead of Heritage Auctions’ next Star Warsthemed sale, which happens May 31. The superstar of this one is Kenner’s famously rare Boba Fett figure with “rocket-firing” action, which was never released after being deemed a choking hazard.

Further making this an ultra-coveted item: of the 100 or so prototypes that survived, only two are of the hand-painted variety, including this one. The auction also includes an early draft of the first Star Wars script; lightsabers wielded by Kylo Ren, Leia, Luke, and Rey; an honest-to-goodness Ewok head; and other Star Wars rarities. Big-bucks collectors can learn more about how to bid at Heritage Auctions’ site. For the rest of us, here are some tempting photos of the goods.
