Star Wars Luke Skywalker with Telescoping Lightsaber AFA 75 Loose (Kenner, 1977)....

Description

Star Wars Luke Skywalker with Telescoping Lightsaber AFA 75 Loose (Kenner, 1977). The original 1977 Luke Skywalker action figure is a cornerstone of Star Wars collecting - and the rare double-telescoping lightsaber variant sits at the top of that hierarchy. Intended only for early production, the double-telescoping mechanism allowed the saber to extend in two stages: a wider outer shaft and a thinner inner blade. It was quickly phased out due to cost and fragility, making surviving examples extremely scarce. This figure features blonde hair and the classic white tunic sculpt used across multiple cardbacks in Kenner's 12-Back era. The saber's inner filament remains present - a critical detail for authentication - and the overall preservation earns this example a loose grade of AFA 75 EX+/NM, a solid placement for such a delicate figure. Whether you're building a high-end loose run or anchoring a vintage display around the hobby's most famous figure, this early production Luke still lights the way - one telescoping saber at a time.
