A Boba Fett action figure sold for over $1.3 million, making it the most expensive Star Wars toy, and the most expensive toy in general, ever sold. Boba Fett is one of the best bounty hunters in Star Wars, and he's been an icon of the franchise ever since The Empire Strikes Back. He was a sensation as soon as he appeared in the Star Wars movies, and his popularity grew enough that he got a solo spinoff show, The Book of Boba Fett. There was even a now-canceled Boba Fett movie at one point, and one toy perfectly exemplifies how important he is as a character.

A Boba Fett action figure, specifically the 1979 Kenner Star Wars Rocket-Firing Boba Fett (Mailer) J-Slot (V2)/2 Missiles Action Figure, was recently sold by Goldin at auction for $1,342,000 including the premium fee. According to the collectibles marketplace company, that price makes it the most expensive toy ever sold.
