Description

Star Wars PBP Chewbacca UKG 80% Loose (PBP, 1980s). Among the most fascinating areas of vintage Star Wars collecting are the figures produced outside the U.S., where local licensees created subtle yet distinctive variations. This Spanish-produced Chewbacca hails from PBP, the Hostalric-based company (later Madrid) that began producing Kenner figures domestically in 1981. While the figure bears the familiar 1977 date stamp molded into its leg, that reflects only the original sculpt, not the year of manufacture. In reality, PBP's independent production did not mold their own figures until several years later, making this circle-foot variant a product of the mid-1980s and a clear representative of PBP's unique place in Star Wars toy history. Graded by UKG at 80%, this example earned 80% for the figure and 85% for paint. A true Wookiee warrior with a Spanish twist, this PBP Chewbacca adds an international layer to the collecting journey. For completists tracking every mold, mark, and market variation, he's a must-have, standing tall as proof that even the galaxy's mightiest co-pilot could not escape the tractor beam of European licensing. Bring him home and let the roar of PBP's legacy echo through your collection.
