You’ll never believe what a rocket-packing Boba Fett ‘Star Wars’ figure sold for
Star Wars action figures continue to rake in the cash at auctions. A four-inch plastic Boba Fett action figure from 1979 was sold at an auction in Texas last week. This specific action figure is believed to be one of only two that survived the production line. The buyer ended up paying $525,000 for the toy, and wishes to remain anonymous. There was actually a collection of Star Wars figures at this auction, with it all collectively selling for $1.66 million. Nearly 50 years after the first movie came out, all the nerds who obsessed over Star Wars now have the money to make their dreams come true. Good for them!
