Collecting Vintage Star Wars Figurines

The story of the Star Wars figurines began in 1978, with the first collection of 3.75" figures released by a small toy company from Cincinnati, Ohio, called Kenner. The range of characters included Princess Leia Organa, Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, and R2-D2 droid. Apart from the figures Kenner also released a choice of corresponding vehicles, spaceships and playsets in the same scale as the figurines. There were also larger scale items released, but the term "Star Wars vintage action figures" normally relates to the 3 3/4" toys and figures released between 1978 and 1985.

With the constantly increasing Star Wars worldwide fan base, the Star Wars vintage figures and toys have become an extremely popular collectible commodity over the years. If you review some of the official StarWars collectibles price guides, or simply look up current online auctions related to vintage StarWars figurines and toys, you find out that the most popular items are often sold for hundreds of dollars. One of the most important aspects which influence the value appears to be the figure's condition. Other important factor is the country of origin, the popularity of that particular character among collectors and fans, original package etc.

If you plan to sell some of your vintage toys, figures or dolls, you should consider the mentioned factors and do some research on the most popular auction servers and collectibles forums before opening your auction. Experienced collectors will usually recommend you to sell your figures and toys in bigger lots and include accessories and weapons which can significantly increase their market value. Even if your vintage Star Wars figurines incomplete or damaged, you can still find potential buyers interested in buying them. There are many collectors out there, looking for specific parts to complete their damaged figures, or to build their own custom projects. As an alternative to online auctions, you can also consider offering your collection for sale at your local comic book store.
