It’s one of the most talked-about action figures in Star Wars history — the mysterious, mythical rocket-firing Boba Fett.

In the first episode of our three-part deep dive into vintage Boba Fett action figures, Jez has 2 separate interviews with 2 ‘Top Men’ regarding Rocket Firing Fetts, Chris Georgoulias from the Star Wars Collectors Archive and Brian Rachfal, ‘an obtainer of rare antiquities’, and one of the most respected experts in the Rocket Firing Fett world. 

Chris brilliantly explains the timeline of the figure from its initial concept through development and testing to its eventual demise.  Chris clearly knows his stuff and puts the myths to bed.

After this Jez speaks with Brian, who very kindly explains all about hunting, owing, selling and assisting buyers/sellers in this fascinating world of Star Wars prototypes. It truly is a brilliant interview. 

Join us and explore the origins, the myths, and the magic behind Kenner’s infamous rocket-firing prototype — the figure that never made it to store shelves but went on to become the true holy grail of vintage Star Wars collecting.

From early Kenner kit bashed concepts and prototypes  to the truth behind the reasons for removing rocket firing feature, this episode uncovers the evolution of the rocket-firing Fett — and why it continues to captivate fans and collectors over four decades later.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just love Star Wars history, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
