Description

An assortment of Star Wars collectible toys and graphic material. The collection comprises twelve vintage action figures constructed from moulded plastic, including characters such as Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, Lando Calrissian, Bib Fortuna, and Ree-Yees. These figures feature articulated limbs and represent production from 1977 to 1985. Also included is a group of twenty-two miniature plastic figurines mounted on black and white display bases, depicting characters from the Episode I era including R2-D2, Battle Droids, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul, and Queen Amidala. The miniatures are consistent with the Star Wars Episode I 3D chess set components. The lot is completed by a Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace graphic print housed in a protective plastic sleeve, featuring the film’s promotional artwork.

Height: 9.5 cm
Width: 50 cm.


Condition report:

The vintage action figures are in played-with condition with visible paint loss and rubbing, most notably to the face of the Chewbacca figure (photo 4) and the feet of various characters. Significant yellowing to the white plastic is evident on the limbs of the Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker figures (photo 4). All original accessories are missing; the Darth Vader figure retains a black vinyl cape which shows heavy creasing and wear (photo 2). Several vintage figures exhibit loose limb articulation. The miniature chess figurines appear largely intact on their bases. The poster remains in its plastic sleeve with some surface rippling to the packaging (photo 5).
