A Rare Darth Vader Action Figure in Original Packaging

An Early Darth Vader action figures were manufactured with a double-telescoping lightsaber – meaning the main part of Vader’s lightsaber slid out of his arm; a smaller piece further telescoped from the tip of the lightsaber. Kenner quickly simplified production and ditched the telescopic versions, making early examples extremely rare. One, in its original, sealed packaging and sold in stores for $1.89, recently fetched $55,000 at auction.
