Description

Star Wars ESB Zuckuss 48 Back-C with Free Ackbar Figure Promotion AFA 80+ (Kenner, 1982). Cloaked in mystery and armed for the hunt, this Zuckuss figure made its debut in 1982 as part of Kenner's expanding bounty hunter lineup, arriving a full year before Return of the Jedi stormed theaters. As one of the more elusive trackers from The Empire Strikes Back, Zuckuss added a distinct presence to the Star Wars action figure universe, giving fans a taste of the galaxy's darker corners just as excitement for the trilogy's epic conclusion began to rise. Zuckuss remains sealed on a ROTJ 48 Back-C card with the "Free Ackbar" figure Revenge of the Jedi promotion. The bounty hunter is encased in acrylic and graded AFA 80+ NM with subgrades C80 B85 F85. Though Zuckuss had a minor role in the film, the figure became a fan favorite thanks to its distinctive design and ties to the iconic bounty hunter group, including Boba Fett, IG-88, Bossk, and Dengar. The misnaming of the character as Zuckuss, instead of 4-LOM, further boosted its collectibility and historical significance within the Star Wars action figure line.
