An incredibly rare Star Wars action toy is tipped to sell for a world record price of £300,000. The plastic figure of a rocket-firing bounty hunter Boba Fett was produced as a prototype by manufacturer Kenner in 1979.
The 3.75ins figure was one of about 100 made for safety testing before they could be sold to the public. The tests revolved around the firing mechanism of a red plastic missile from the backpack of Boba Fett.
As a result of the testing, it was decided that only 'non-firing' figures with sealed missiles should be mass-produced for the public as the original design was found to be a potential choking hazard for children. Only around 25 prototypes exist today.
