Boba Fett

At first, this figure was only available through a "mail-away" program, in which buyers of the second wave of figures sent four proof-of-purchase receipts to KENNER, and the toy company then mailed the figure to them.

The following year, the figure became available in stores, and years later, several reissues of this figure were released, so different versions with different packaging can be found.

Originally, the figure was supposed to have a rocket on its back with a mechanism that launched it, but for safety reasons, that "action feature" was ultimately removed from the figure, and the rocket could no longer be launched.

The "mail-away" figure sent by KENNER included a note explaining that this feature had been removed from the figure and that, if the customer wished, they could exchange it for any other figure.

Although none of those rocket-firing figures were ever sold or shipped, a few were actually produced and, one way or another, ended up in the hands of collectors. Today, we know that version of the Boba Fett figure as the "Rocket-Firing Boba Fett."

"Rocket-Firing Boba Fett" is by far the most expensive piece of all; it has broken records on eBay, selling for over $200,000.
