INTRODUCTION
There are no Star Wars action figure prototypes to date known more than the rocket firing Boba Fett figure. Contrary to popular myth, this figure never shipped to kids via the popular mail-in offer, despite how relatively common it is to meet collectors who swear they received one from Kenner. It is simply not true, no one ever received this rocket firing action figure in the mail.

Something to remember about the Vintage Boba Fett figure is that there are only prototypes meaning only some employees at Kenner ever had access to them and none were ever available to the public. If you have one and swear it is the real deal, 99.9% is that it is a fake as seen here in our guide. There are many fake reproductions of the Rocket Firing Boba Fett figure.

So for the first time even in his vintage styling glory is Boba Fett with a rocket firing backpack made just for the 30th anniversary of "The Empire Strikes Back" in 2010. 

To get this wonderful action figure all you have to do is: Mail in any 5 UPC codes from any basic Star Wars action figure (from TLC/LC, TCW, SL, or TVC), plus $6.99 check or money order to the address on the redemption card. Offer expires April 30, 2011.
