Description

Star Wars ESB Bossk 47-Back AFA 80+ ** POP 4, 2nd Highest Grade, Only 6 Higher ** (Kenner, 1982). Debuting in The Empire Strikes Back and immortalized by Kenner in 1980, Bossk quickly became one of the most recognizable bounty hunters in the Star Wars universe. His reptilian design, bright yellow flight suit, and cold, predatory stare set him apart from the rest of Darth Vader's hired guns. The 47-Back Empire Strikes Back card release from 1982 marked one of the final runs of this fan-favorite figure before the transition to Return of the Jedi packaging, cementing its place among the most visually striking figures of the vintage line. Graded AFA NM 80+, with subgrades of C80 B85 F80, this example ranks as the second-highest grade known, with only six graded higher in the population report. A quintessential piece of Kenner's Empire era, Bossk embodies the perfect mix of menace and collectibility - a bounty hunter whose sculpt and color palette still command attention more than four decades later. For collectors of vintage villains and galactic scoundrels, this Trandoshan tracker remains a trophy worth hunting.
