About this deal

The original Star Wars action figures tend to be the most valuable; however, it’s important to note there are multiple Star Wars action figure series, as described by Jedi Business: Man, people really go nuts for the Millennium Falcon. I get that it's iconic and has a unique design and everything it just, I dunno, of all the spaceships you can live on it just never really grabbed me the way, say Serenity or Normandy does. Even the Ebon Hawk from Knights of the Old Republic is more appealing to me, and it's based almost entirely on the Falcon. I guess I'm just not blown away by a ship inspired by a burger with a bite taken out of it next to an olive. (True story.)

A plus symbol (+) can be added to a grade to signify that an action figure is in above-average condition for its rating The standard grading scale follows the zero to 100 rating method, but adds three levels: gold, silver, and bronze, where: STANDARD GRADING SCALE A collection of R2-D2’s owned by members of theWashington DC Star Wars Collecting Club.

Variants, like the vinyl cape Jawa and small head Han Solo, can be highly valuable for their rarity and desirability. Vintage Star Wars Collectors features an excellent post about different Star Wars action figure variants and what they mean to collectors. Another victim of the cancellation of the Kenner line in 1985, this ghost version of Anakin Skywalker as he appears at the end of the original Return of the Jedi is probably even more valuable now that the Special Editions have erased him entirely to be replaced with Hayden Christensen. So here's "Blue Snaggletooth," also known as Zutton or Z-Ton. This figure, part of Kenner's "Cantina Adventure Set", is based on one of those dudes we see for two seconds when Luke enters the Cantina for the first time. According to Wookiepedia, Zutton is an artist who frequents Jabba's Palace and writes stories about the events he sees around Mos Eisley. The modern grading scale is intended for action figures manufactured after 1995, and grades from 1 to 10, in increments of 0.25. Like the standard scale, the modern scale applies gold, silver, and bronze levels: MODERN GRADING SCALE One of those is the original “farm boy” Luke Skywalker, which featured a double-telescoping lightsaber, says Martin Thurn, President of the Washington DC Star Wars Collecting Club and a collector since 1978 who serves on the steering committee for the Collector’s Stage at Star Wars Celebration.

Fulfilling a market that absolutely cannot have been demanding its release, here we have the radio controlled Jawa Sandcrawler.

Made by Kenner in 1978, this four-layer dip of a playset is like a snapshot of locations from the original Death Star, with a gun turret, the chasm Luke and Leia swing over, Vader & Obi-Wan's duel and, of course, the trash compactor. It's like a video game vertical slice: really everything major that happens on the Death Star is represented here, in exaggerated action-figure size. Luke & Leia could probably have just stepped over the chasm if this was to scale, not to mention how easy it would be for the Imperials to find them.

So here's where our ol' pal Blue Snaggletooth came from, a box set of characters from the famous cantina in Mos Eisley Spaceport. While the famous BluSnag was an exclusive addition to this set, he's definitely the least recognisable of the four characters included here, though two of them were given hilariously descriptive names instead of being identified by their species or character names. There's the Aqualash who threatens Luke before Obi-Wan intervenes, here given the moniker "Walrusman" which I just love that they made into one word. Who can forget "Hammerhead", aka the Ithorian seen nodding along to his friend for 100 frames in a very popular, deeply silly movie from the 70s? This Ultimate Collector's Edition Star Destroyer was released in 2002, by far the largest Star Wars set ever released at that time. It's pretty standard, depicting the intimidating warship produced in mass quantities during the reign of Galactic Emperor Palpatine, but to its credit, it also includes a cool mini-model of the Alderaan cruiser Tantive IV. What makes Star Wars action figures valuable? Several factors combine to dictate a given Star Wars action figure’s value, including: Notable events you might consider attending include Star Wars Celebration, Toy Fair, and any Comic Con. Speaking of action figures that look nothing like the actors they're modeled after, Kenner was apparently unhappy with their original sculpt of Han Solo and wanted to make a new one that more closely resembled Harrison Ford. They succeeded completely because, as we all know, Harrison Ford has an absolutely enormous head that is totally out of proportion to the rest of his body.

It features nine Minifigures and a bevy of mind-numbingly cool features, making it the perfect build for a group of Star Wars fans ready to embark on a journey of wonder and imagination. These values only apply to vintage Star Wars action figures – the average figure produced from the early 1990’s to the present is worth only a couple of dollars. Potential for disputes if you misrepresent or miscommunicate what you have to sell (even if it’s an honest mistake) Were you thinking that every single entry on this list was going to be from the 70s? That's fair! Most of them have! This is one of the more recent entries on the list, so its scarcity comes by design and not because everyone thought Star Wars was going to totally bomb. Any given Star Wars action figure is worth whatever someone will pay for it, but experts agree on several notable examples that carry high value.I mean, sure. I guess someone out there wants a minifig of George Lucas, with his cute little seventies haircut and his little director's clapboard and his nerd-wear plaid shirt that he probably has a million of and cost thousands of dollars because who cares? I cringe everytime Luke says "Sand People" in the original film. Even the more appropriate "Tusken Raider" is a pretty big judgement call. Like, are they really called Tusken? Is that their name for themselves? And are they all Raiders? Surely there are some Tusken Artisans or Tusken Teachers or something. Action Figure Authority, which provides action figure grading services, lists two commonly-used grading scales for Star Wars action figures: modern and standard.
