An exceptionally rare Star Wars action figure of Boba Fett has shattered records, selling for a staggering $525,000 at an auction, making it the most valuable toy in the world. The hand-painted, missile-firing figurine is one of only two known to still exist, originally created in the 1970s but never released to the public due to safety concerns, Sky News reported.
This elusive Boba Fett figure, sold by Heritage Auctions, comfortably surpassed the previous record held by a unique Barbie doll adorned with a one-carat diamond, which sold for $302,000 in 2010. The auction also broke the previous record for the most expensive Star Wars action figure, a rocket-firing Boba Fett that fetched $236,000 in 2022.
