The Star Wars franchise has remained one of the most popular film series of all time, and with good reason – iconic characters, memorable lines, and unforgettable intergalactic adventure ensure their continuing success. On 4 March, Prop Store is hosting their Toys, Comic Art & Collectables auction. Among memorabilia from pop culture darlings like Marvel, The Simpsons and Harry Potter, the focus of the sale is rare toys, promotional items, prototype models and reproductions from the sci-fi powerhouse Star Wars.
Originating from the popular 1983 set, this Luke Skywalker trading card is signed by Mark Hamill himself. The additional ‘Jedi graduate: Class of 1983’ written across the top makes it look almost like a yearbook photo, giving it a humorous and uniquely personal aspect.
Besides Darth Vader, the bounty hunter Boba Fett was the biggest villain in the galaxy. Known as the ‘Holy Grail’ of Star Wars collectables, this prototype Boba Fett action figure comes with a rocket launcher design that was never released to consumers.
Make your dreams of being a Jedi come true with this limited-edition lightsaber. Numbered 1/1000 and bearing Mark Hamill’s autograph, it is an exact replica of Luke’s own weapon and based off the original props in the Skywalker Ranch Archives.
At only 19 years old, Carrie Fisher played the part that would become one of the most beloved film heroines of all time, Princess Leia. This 1978 Leia action figure is still enclosed in the original packaging, and depicts the princess in her white royal robes, completed by her iconic hair buns.
If you find yourself needing a robotic sidekick, this life-size R2D2 is a perfect contender. Number 33 out of a limited edition of 50 pieces, the design was digitally scanned from the original Kenner action figure and is fully articulated.
With his sleek black costume, evil temperament and famously heavy breathing, Darth Vader became the villain that everyone loves to hate. This original 1978 action figure is a rare early design that features a two-part lightsaber, which was quickly replaced by a one-piece design in order to reduce the cost of production.
The Millenium Falcon, piloted by the loveable rogue Han Solo and his furry counterpart Chewbacca, is one of the most memorable starships in the entire series. This highly detailed reproduction is complete in the original shipping box, and is based on the original studio model found in the Lucasfilm Archives.
All lots are complete with a Certificate of Authenticity and an accompanying guarantee. The live auction will take place in Los Angeles, California on 4 March, beginning at 8:00 AM PST, and international shipping is available. Bidding has opened online, and you may also register for absentee and phone bidding. Finally, when it comes to winning your favourite lot – may the Force be with you!
