Star Wars action figure sells for record $525,000 at auction - article at Guinness World Records
'A rare Boba Fett action figure has been sold for $525,000 (£411,000), becoming the world’s most valuable Star Wars action figure.
The hand-painted, missile-firing model is one of only two still in existence. They were produced in 1979 but never released due to being deemed a choking hazard.
Sold at Heritage Auctions’ Star Wars Signature Auction, it more than doubled the previous record of $236,000 (£185,000) paid for a different rocket-firing Boba Fett in 2022.
It also exceeded the price paid for the world’s most expensive Barbie doll, a one-of-a-kind model wearing a one-carat diamond which was sold in 2010 for $302,500 (then approximately £192,000).’

For that price I hope the rocket on the back-pack still fires!
