Description

Star Wars Jawa 12-Back B AFA 85 ** Highest Grade ** (Kenner, 1978). Among the most enigmatic figures from Kenner's original 12-Back assortment, the Jawa debuted in 1978 as part of the very first wave of Star Wars toys ever released. This cloaked scavenger of Tatooine quickly became iconic, not only for its role in the film but also for its famous "cloth cape vs. vinyl cape" release controversy-one of the hobby's longest-discussed variations. Early Jawas remain a cornerstone for collectors chasing the line's debut characters. This example is sealed on a 12-Back B cardback and has been graded AFA 85 NM+ with subgrades of C85 B85 F80. It represents the highest grade known to date, making it a true pinnacle piece for condition-focused collectors. A 12-Back Jawa in top-tier grade unites character importance, line history, and absolute condition scarcity. For advanced Star Wars collectors, this isn't just another early Kenner release-it's the apex example of one of the saga's most mysterious desert dwellers. A definitive chance to secure the best of the best from the hobby's foundation.
