For the past 40 years, Star Wars fans have been immersed in George Lucas' universe. Given the longevity of the Star Wars series There's no shortage of merchandise available for fans to indulge in their obsessions. From to a Millennium Falcon bed to a R2-D2 sock robot There are lots of options to satisfy the Star Wars fan in your life. Certain toys are more rare than others, for instance those from the first era of toys that were in high demand in the days of Star Wars. Vintage toys are more valuable than the reissued ones since they were designed with the same care and quality collectors value today.



Toymakers were mindful of the importance of playing with immersive toys when they designed the action figures that would eventually become a cultural phenomenon. For example, many of the first line's characters were equipped with double-telescoping lightsabers. These disappeared into a channel carved into Luke, Darth, and Obi-Wan's arms when not in use. When Star Wars Fridge Magnet -telescoping light-saber harmed an infant, Kenner changed its design to make it less expensive and easier. It resulted in a tiny number of figures that had double-telescoping capabilities, which are highly valued because they are rare.



The documentary also focuses on rare toys that were prototypes, like a Bib Fortuna action figurine that was graded by professionals and was auctioned off at a price of more than $31,000. This is one of the two instances of the figure that are known to exist- the other was auctioned off in 2017.



The documentary also examines reproductions of classic Star Wars toys made for children during the 1980s and 1990s. For instance, a Mace Windu toy from the Power of the Force 2 series and the Weequay Sciff Guard Freeze Frame from The Phantom Menace. Not only are the toys popular, but so are the packaging and other accessories that go with them. For https://rentry.co/uitqr , some European packaging of figures featured French, English, and Spanish printed on it (we're still not sure the meaning of that).






In the final chapter of the document as the doc closes, we can see some very rare Star Wars toys from Brazil, which were sold in 1985 and have since become worth a lot of money. Vlix is a rare 2.25" action figure from the brief-lived Droids TV show. Even casual Star Wars fans might not know about his existence. The figure was initially produced wearing the cape made of vinyl, but was later revamped to be more affordable and durable with a woven robe. This model has become an avid collector's "holy high-end" and includes an unopened figure and sealed, which is expected to fetch over $185K in 2020.



It's a fascinating review of the way in which the Star Wars line has evolved and how even small changes can create the appearance of a collectible. Although it is clear that newer toys, especially the ones from the sequel trilogy do not have the glitz of their predecessors they still possess their own charm. If you want to pick up a set of legacy lightsabers that you can discover in Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, make sure you act quickly as they're a limited editions.
