Star Wars Vintage Action Figures: The Coolest Collectibles on the Market!
Thursday, November 13, 2008 4:42| Recommended Products: |
Opinions vary on the "coolest" vintage toy markets, but most fingers point to vintage Transformers, vintage Pez, vintage Star Wars, and vintage Hot Wheels. Out of these, Star Wars vintage toys are considered among the most valuable individually, though with the huge amount of Pez variations and prototypes available, Pez are likely more valuable in sum.
In the late 70's, Kenner produced an original line of twelve Star Wars figures, and this entire line is highly desirable to Star Wars enthusiasts, each valued at over two thousand dollars in great condition and in their original packaging. The most valuable vintage toy is argued to be Vlix, a short-lived character who was featured in a Braziliam cartoon. Vlix runs well over six thousand dollars if in great condition.
Adding to the valuation of these figures is the exclusivity of the license. As an example, Kenner Canada, located in Toronto, Ontario, had rights to Star Wars toys in Canada for a decade beginning in the late 70's, but only distributed about ten percent of the market at this time. That, in addition to the fact that the Canadian releases were packaged with bilingual packaging, adds a unique twist to those interested in the collectible value of these figures.
Another interesting collectible item available, but extremely hard to uncover, are toy prototypes. Prototypes and unfinished products are relatively common in other markets, e.g. the collectible Pez market, but much more rare in the Star Wars market.
