Podcast Talks Vintage Fett
The guys over at the Star Wars Collector Archive released their latest podcast, diving deep into the history and back story of vintage Boba Fett action figure. When Kenner promised a free mail-in offer for the first Boba Fett action figure in the late 1970s, kids were stoked about the rocket firing action promised with the offering.
However, the rocket would be deemed a choking hazard and the rocket firing feature was removed from the figure – except for a limited amount of prototypes – that today, go for as high as $20,000 to collectors.
In their Vintage Pod 34: Disney and Fett (Classic), a roundtable consisting of collectors Gus Lopez, Chris Georgoulias, Ron Salvatore and Tommy Garvey, discuss their personal experiences obtaining this rare action figure for their vintage collections.
Was the rocket firing feature an urban legend? What’s the difference between the J-Slot and L-Slot prototypes? Why was Boba Fett so popular? They tackle all these questions and more.
The guys also discuss the future of the Star Wars franchise, the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney and how new films could affect the market value of vintage Star Wars action figures.
