Retail:

2.99 MOC or Free with 5 Proof of Purchases
Weapons and Accessories:

  • Absolutely nothing

Force fact:
Originally offered in 1984 as the last of the mail away figures Anakin was free with 5 Proof of Purchases.

Quite likely the worst figure made by Kenner in that he did nothing, had no accessories and, for play value, was worthless. Add to that many kids got him as a mail away. So as a result the POTF MOC Anakin figure is one of the rarest figures from Star Wars. Very tough to find on card but the easiest of the POTF, or Last 17 as they are referred to as well, to find loose.  Although there are 15 POTF figures overseas collectors refer to the line as the Last 17 as the last two figures released here in the US, Paploo and Lumat, were part of the last wave released outside the US.

Retail:

Weapons and Accessories:

  • movable mouth

Force fact:
Despite what many collectors think EV-9D9 is actually a “female” character. Also of note is the fragile nature of the arms.  They break so very easily so move them only when necessary.

One of three figures actually released in 1984 rather than in 1985 despite the date stamp. Kenner originally included this figure in the second ROTJ release of the Jabba Dungeon. No coins came with these as they were packaged in bags for the set.

No joke, a Headhunter staff. Those are actually heads on his staff.  How does no one notice that? How cool is that?

Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2) With Pop Up Lightsaber


Date Stamp:
1977
Release Date:
1985
Carded Availability:
  • Power Of The Force
  • Tri-logo
Assortment No.:
93720
Retail:
2.99
Weapons and Accessories:

  • “Clicking Head”
  • Removable Lightsaber that extends from R2’s dome when turned

Force fact:
Kenner continued to use the same mold for this new R2-D2 hence the 1977 copyright date.

As with some many other toy lines the end of the run has some of the best toys made. Kenner’s Star Wars line is no different as the POTF line is fantastic. In addition all these figures included a Collector Coin in each package that corresponds to the figure.
