A freak trip to a motorcycle parts store in OH led to the discovery of 7 unfolded examples of this shipping box, sometime in the early 1990s. The lucky collector was told that the shop was sending out parts through the mail to their customers, in the sturdy boxes that they'd bought from Kenner when the company moved form their location at the Kroger building.
A deal was struck. Some 20 years later examples were sold to quick thinking collectors who were lucky enough to be at the Cincinnati toy show in 2017.
This example is near mint, unfolded, and framed behind UV protective acrylic. Aside from the small grouping of flats that this shipper originated from, no other unfolded Kenner action figure shippers are known to exist, making this item an incredibly rare vintage Kenner Star Wars collectible.
