Description

DC Super Powers Orion "First Shot" Action Figure AFA 80+ with COA ** Only Graded Example ** (Kenner, 1986). This example features the Orion action figure from Kenner's Super Powers Collection, identified as a "First Shot" production piece and dated 1986, consistent with the AFA label. Orion was part of the later expansion of the Super Powers line, drawing from DC Comics' New Gods mythology and reflecting Kenner's continued interest in incorporating deeper comic lore beyond the core Justice League characters. The figure is encased and graded by AFA at 80+ NM and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity confirming its First Shot status. According to AFA population data, this figure is recorded as POP 1, with no other graded examples documented, making it the only encapsulated First Shot Orion currently on record. The overall presentation aligns with the assigned grade and highlights the figure's early production designation within the Super Powers program. Kenner's Super Powers Collection remains a landmark of 1980s action figure design, known for its bold card art, integrated action features, and influential role in shaping later superhero toy lines. First Shot figures offer collectors a rare glimpse into Kenner's production process, representing early-stage examples created ahead of or alongside retail manufacturing. With its sole graded status, First Shot designation, and connection to the latter phase of the Super Powers line, this Orion figure presents a compelling opportunity for advanced DC and Kenner collectors.
