Description

Star Wars Han Solo (Small Head) 12-Back A AFA Y80+ (Kenner, 1978). Han Solo's original 1978 Kenner release stands among the foundational figures of the Star Wars line, and the 12-Back A card represents the earliest retail cardback configuration issued during the brand's inaugural years. As one of the original twelve figures offered to the public, Han embodies the roguish counterpoint to the saga's mythic heroes, and his presence anchors any serious 12-Back run. The "Small Head" sculpt variation is the earliest production portrait for the character, distinguished by its slimmer facial proportions and more compact head sculpt, a detail closely studied and highly regarded among collectors. Graded AFA 80+ Y-NM with subgrades of C80 B80 F85. For those assembling the earliest chapter of Kenner's 1978 lineup, a 12-Back A Han Solo with the Small Head sculpt remains a cornerstone piece, capturing the moment the galaxy's most famous smuggler first hit toy shelves.
