Star Wars Boba Fett 21-Back B AFA 75+ (Kenner, 1979)....

Description

Star Wars Boba Fett 21-Back B AFA 75+ (Kenner, 1979). Boba Fett's mystique began before his first film appearance, with Kenner promoting him as a mail-away figure that instantly captured children's imaginations. By 1979 he was on store pegs, and the 21-Back B release marked one of his earliest carded appearances. The figure became a cornerstone of vintage collecting, tied forever to the legend of the canceled rocket-firing prototype and the character's explosive rise in popularity. Fett's armor, silence, and reputation turned him into a pop-culture icon whose influence far outlasted his brief original screen time. Graded AFA 75+ EX+/NM with subgrades of C75 B80 F80, this example maintains solid overall appeal for the assigned grade. For collectors, the 21-Back Boba Fett is more than just a figure. It represents the moment when a mysterious promotion became a legend in plastic. High-grade or not, Fett's earliest carded release remains one of the most coveted Star Wars collectibles. Miss out on him now, and you may feel the sting worse than a Sarlacc pit tumble.
