Item Description
Blister card contains 3.75" tall Kenner action figure with initial "Double-Telescoping" lightsaber. Kenner only produced three figures with this feature - Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader - before the lightsabers were modified to remove the double-telescoping design due to cost and manufacturing issues. While not noted on AFA label, figure is packaged with SKU on footer. Card is unpunched. Slight ripple to right of blister bubble. Archival case. AFA subgrades are as follows - C70 B80 F85. An AFA 90 Double-Telescoping Luke Skywalker sold earlier this year at auction for $100,252. This Double-Telescoping Obi-Wan Kenobi is infinitely rarer as carded, and just the third such specimen we have offered at auction; our last example (AFA 70) selling for $64,900 in Nov. 2019. Since that time, vintage Star Wars figures have continued to climb in value, none more so than the rarest of the rare, which we present to you here.
