Item Description
AFA graded and encapsulated case contains original white mailer box (w/o mailing address label), vacuform plastic tray w/sealed baggie set of four 2.25" to 4.25" tall Kenner action figures including R2-D2, Chewbacca, Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker (Double-Telescoping Saber), baggie w/additional plastic pegs for posing figures, mini-catalog advertising the Star Wars Action Figure line and vehicles and mail-away offer for the Early Bird Premium Collector Stand. Kenner used this mail-away promotional offer in order to get Star Wars action figures to consumers before they hit store shelves as they were not able to get their figures to market in time for the 1977 holiday season. Offered in a special "Star Wars Early Bird Certificate Package" (see previous lot), consumers could send away for the kit offered here. The plastic pegs were used for attaching figures to the plain cardboard stand included in the Early Bird Certificate Package. Archival case. AFA subgrades are as follows - B90 W90 F90. At time of cataloging, only two examples in an AFA 90 grade according to current AFA Population Report w/none higher. This is the highest graded example we have ever offered.
