Star Wars 20-Inch Darth Vader Giant Figure

Listen, I haven't been a kid in a while and I can barely take care of myself so having a child is way outside the realm of possibility right now, so answer something for me: are lunchboxes still a thing? Because, man, they used to really be a thing. 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.)

Source: Martin Thurn 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. 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.

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: Can you imagine thinking a Star Wars movie was going to bomb? I mean without the internet telling you it will. Thurn says there are a few companies that specialize in grading toys (and Star Wars toys represent the vast majority of what they process). He says the condition scale runs from zero to 100, but “there are no standards for what any particular number means, except that 100 would mean the toy was never touched by human hands, which is impossible due to the Heisenberg Principle.” Here's the first entry on our list of the original Kenner line of figures from 1978, all of which fetch ridiculously high prices on the market. The "cheapest" is Princess Leia (Thanks, The Patriarchy) featured here with a weird mishmash of outfits: she's in her suit from the Death Star escape, although limitations of the time have cut her dress into some extremely disco flared pants.

This huge 2016 revamping of the similarly-large 2008 model actually underwhelmed fans of the Lego Star Wars series of builds, as it's basically just a somewhat improved version of its predecessor - featuring a slightly larger play experience and three new Minifigures. 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.

Real world’ alternatives include local toy shows, flea markets, and comic book stores,” says Fox. “And be sure to look up a Star Wars collecting club in your city or state!” This extremely sizeable 2008 set features twenty-four Minifigures and droids set against a hugely interactive Lego version of the planet-destroying Death Star, split into a series of miniature replicas of scenes from A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. Notable events you might consider attending include Star Wars Celebration, Toy Fair, and any Comic Con.

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. 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?
