Description

Star Wars Epic Hero Series Grogu First Shot AFA 70 ** Only Graded Example ** (Hasbro, 2024). This unpainted First Shot represents an early pre-production stage of Hasbro's 2024 Epic Hero Series Grogu figure, offering a direct glimpse into the manufacturing process prior to final paint application and retail release. First shots are typically produced to evaluate tooling integrity, plastic flow, and assembly fit before full production begins, and they frequently exhibit raw plastic coloration and unfinished detailing. This example features an off-white body with contrasting pink head and arms, clearly demonstrating its unpainted, test-phase status. The absence of final deco allows the sculpted details, including Grogu's robe folds and expressive facial contours, to be viewed in their pure tooling form. As a contemporary pre-production piece tied to one of the franchise's most culturally significant modern characters, it bridges current-era collecting with the long-standing hobby tradition of prototype preservation. Graded AFA 70 EX+, it is noted as the only graded example on the population report. A tangible artifact from the earliest stage of a modern Star Wars release, capturing Grogu before the finishing touches transformed him into one of the galaxy's most unlikely Force-sensitive icons.
