I did a small squidoo lense on some rare star wars action figures that i knew of. I mentioned 4 figures that includes vinyl cape jawa, blue snaggletooth, Darth Vader with Telescoping Lightsaber, and Rocket Firing BobaFett. Just wanted to share with you guys and hear your opinion on this. If you think there are other rare figures like these as well then let me know please.

The rocket fireing boba fett never made it out to production sadly. A few does exist but they are prototypes and I believe only one known painted. The ones you see go on ebay are customs. There was a kit made years back.

I believe a former employee showed the rocket firing Boba Fett on Toy Hunters when it was on in January and sold it to the host.

Like i mentioned in the article, some says it exists while some says it does not and that is what makes this figure more interesting and mysterious. Would like to see one with my own eyes if possible.

Not sure why it got pulled back, I've heard child danger, easy to loose rocket etc but it was advertised as rocket fire before it came out, but when it did come it could not shoot the rocket. If it was released even in such small numbers like Vlix, which is very rare, we would see some real ones move around. Double Telescope Darth and Ben I believe are the hardest once to get if collecting the normal line.

yeah. It seems true now that kenner pulled back boba fett for some child danger reason which sounds lame to me but who knows. But it is first time i hear that it couldnt shoot the rocket. Well Double telescope darth is really hard one to find.

the story i always heard was that a child choked on the missile from one of mattels galactica vipers causing them to be sonic welded in and all future firing toys were scrapped for a while but i dont know how true it is
