Recently, an example of the rare Rocket Firing Boba Fett action figure sold for $16,000. This Star Wars collectible is considered by many collectors to be one of the more desirable items. The Rocket Firing Boba Fett is exceptionally rare with only a small number of examples known. The figure was scheduled for mass production, but was canceled at the last minute due to fears that children could potentially choke on the small red rocket that the action figure fired. The Rocket Firing Boba Fett is found in two variations. The first is a non-painted version which features a slot on his back that is referred to as the L-Slot Rocket Firing Boba Fett as the shape is a backwards letter L. The second version is fully painted and the slot on his back has a backwards letter J and is referred to as the J-Slot Rocket Firing Boba Fett action figure. The recent sale of the L-Slot Rocket Firing Boba Fett included providence that traced the action figure back to a Kenner employee.
