Description

Star Wars PBP Chewbacca AFA 80 ** POP 9, 3rd Highest Grade, Only 6 Higher ** Loose (PBP, 1983). Spanish production under PBP yielded some of the most recognizable international variants in the vintage Star Wars line, marked by distinctive paint applications and assembly traits that set them apart from their Kenner counterparts. Chewbacca, one of the original twelve characters and a cornerstone of the franchise, was among the figures produced during this era, circulating throughout Europe with subtle but telling differences from U.S. releases. These Spanish editions have since become a focal point for variant specialists eager to explore the global dimension of the toy line. This example has been graded AFA 80, placing it in Near Mint condition and confirming its strong preservation. It is one of just nine examples documented at this tier, with only six known to grade higher, making it the third-highest level in the AFA census. As Han Solo's loyal co-pilot and one of the saga's most enduring heroes, Chewbacca has always held a central place in Star Wars collecting. The Spanish-produced edition adds an international layer to that legacy, offering both scarcity and character significance in one package. For those intent on pursuing the Wookiee's many global guises, this AFA 80 PBP example represents a rare and rewarding opportunity.
