Star Wars Death Squad Commander 12-Back B AFA 80 ** 3rd-Highest Grade, Only 5 Higher ** (Kenner, 1978). As one of the twelve figures that launched Kenner's Star Wars line, the Death Squad Commander represents the disciplined Imperial presence aboard the Death Star in A New Hope. Clad in standard-issue grey uniform with black boots and helmet, the figure embodies the stark military aesthetic that defined the Empire's on-screen authority. The 12-Back B cardback marks the second variation of the original twelve-card sequence, produced during the first year of the line's historic rollout. This example is graded AFA 80 NM with subgrades of C80 B80 F80. It ranks as the third-highest grade on the population report, with only five examples graded higher. Original twelve figures on 12-Back cards remain the bedrock of vintage collections, and this sharply graded Death Squad Commander stands firmly within that foundational tier.
