Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Stormtrooper Action Figure AFA 80 (Kenner, 1980)....

Description

Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back Stormtrooper Action Figure AFA 80 (Kenner, 1980). Released by Kenner in 1980, this Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back Stormtrooper represents one of the earliest reissues of the Imperial infantry figure following the success of the original 1978 Star Wars line. Issued on an Empire Strikes Back-era cardback, the Stormtrooper remained a core figure within Kenner's expanding original trilogy lineup, bridging the transition from the first film into the sequel era. The figure is encased and graded by AFA at 80 NM, with subgrades of C80 (Card), B85 (Bubble), and F80 (Figure). The figure is presented on a 41D Empire Strikes Back cardback, reflecting a later ESB packaging variation while retaining the classic Stormtrooper sculpt. The stronger Bubble subgrade contributes to a clean sealed presentation, with overall condition consistent with the assigned grade. Stormtroopers are among the most iconic designs in the Star Wars universe, and ESB-era carded examples illustrate Kenner's practice of continuing high-demand characters across multiple packaging waves. With its solid AFA grade, balanced subgrades, and ESB cardback configuration, this example offers a condition-driven Imperial figure suited to collectors focused on graded original trilogy material.
