Description

Star Wars Darth Vader 12-Back B AFA 80 (Kenner, 1978). Kenner's original 12-Back Darth Vader remains one of the most iconic figures ever produced, launching alongside the first wave of Star Wars toys in 1978. Featuring the telescoping lightsaber and cloaked in his unmistakable black vinyl cape, this release captured the raw mystique of the Dark Lord before sequels expanded his legend. This example is sealed on the classic 12-Back B card, a slight revision of the first-issue packaging that maintains the original layout, photography, and Kenner logo placement. Graded AFA 80 NM with subgrades of C80 B85 F85 - a well-preserved figure with strong visual presence. With solid subgrades across the board, it offers a display-worthy vintage Vader with undeniable shelf power. As one of the holy grails for original trilogy collectors, early Vader figures in clean condition continue to anchor serious collections-and this one delivers that presence at a highly collectible grade.
