- Jordan Hembrough travels across the globe in search of rare vintage items to sell at the New York Comic Con, and here he comes across a super rare, unreleased prototype of the rocket-firing Boba Fett figure from Star Wars!
The best part of this staging is when he pulls the figure out you see the rocket fall out and then later asks the guy if he has the rocket and then proceeds to pull a bag out of the bag that has the rocket safely stored.
Jordan: Okay, I tell you what... you paid 10 bucks for it 25 years ago. I'll pay you 20 bucks today for that rare figure.
Guy: "Holy moly!!! That's double the price. Sounds good to me. Deal".
Hope ya'll know that the owner of the store and Jordan set this whole thing up. It wasn't even his figure. It's actually Ed's the Kenner guy. He brought his in for the show. Ed sold it to Jordan. The comic book store owner did NOT buy it for $10 worth of baseball cards. Just another reality show script to make it seem like Jordan found it. As a local resident, you get to know a lot of Kenner collectors and this just really rubbed me wrong. Oh well.
It figures. Just like the Picker show these guys dont just show up and did through random crap...and then POOF a super rare item in all the rust appears in perfect shape. Cmon. Reality my @$$.
Reminds me also on that "Road Show" estimators, people bring in stuff they KNOW is valuable so as to get a pro to state a price then they get exposure and thus a more firm value for their stuff...They act all surprised, but met a few who knew a couple people who appeared on the show and confirmed they did know it was valuable.
that's all the proof you have a lame ass story....gtfoh
I was wondering about that "Whole Baseball card thing" and how the toy even got out of kenner
good work dude.
Im keeping my Boba Fett another While.
Ironically, now Hasbro makes all sorts of stuff that shoots rockets, ships, figures with accessories, etc. I've never seen an actual rocket firing Boba Fett in person either. I know a lot of collectors, some of whom are far more serious about it than I am, and they've never seen one in person, only pictures and videos like this.
Yeah the Kenner guy says “yeah, I THINK so” lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
wow that guy is my comic shop guyy woah
Its a small world after all
I'm back in Cincinnati and I completely forget the name of that comic book store

If these are experts, then why didn't they realize that the "L" slot was even more rare than the "J"? Also, some have serial numbers on the leg. Those are even more rare.
Roughly 80 L-slots were thought to have been made, while perhaps 19 J-slots were made.
It’s an EBay replica!
Awesome find Great video
Jordan Hembrough, if you're reading this please bring back your show. I especially enjoyed the Kirk Hammett episode.
Pawn stars had a MOSC one still sealed worth over $125,000.
The words any dealer wants to hear "I have no idea how much it's worth. Tell me." lol It's cool the producers got a Kenner employee in there to make some specific observations. Would've been funny if he broke it 'oh yeah it's the original spring woops it was' lol MTFBWY
Why does that customer look like an old, white Eric Andre 😂😂😂
boba fett! cool as hell
The guy on pawnstars had the compete one in the case absolutely perfect much better verison
I was born and raised in Cincinnati. Open till I had seen this episode, I had completely forgotten him about the Rockefeller and Boba Fett.
I remember when I was roughly 5 years old, there was a kid that I played with that lives next-door to my grandmother. I remember when I was looking through his toys but I remember seeing an action figure that had this same spring like in the zone on his back. As soon as I seen this video clip that memory punched forward in my mind.
Me: Mom, I want to watch Pawn Stars
Mom: We have Pawn Stars at home sweetie
Pawn Stars at home:
wow beautiful piece
where can i find the full episode of this?
Low Baller offer. In Pawnstars there was one who brought same toy in the store and was offered $100,000.00
Miguel Ponce Umali in box completed prototype of finished product. Only one ever Made. ITS a totally different item.
@@bergrud Not really this one is rarer since they didnt paint the armor and what not.
... "No low-ball offers, I know what I got" 😂
This in a box sealed goes for $150k
How can it be sealed in a box when it never made it to the production line because it was never intended for store shelves?
Vaultboy101
One guy has it sealed in box on Pawn Star. But then again we don’t know since it’s a prototype.
I thought it was a 1 of 1 on pawn stars. Lol
the one from the pawn stars was produced this one was never release on the market
the one from pawn stars is carded/with the packaging.
SuperTanzeel926 exactly what i was thinking
How did this one go for 10k but the one in pawn starts which was no a rocket shooter went for 100k
Alejandro Alvarez the one they had did shoot, and it was the only one every released.
did he buy it? how much? I can't remember.
I once found a few years ago a blue snaggletoth figure for $5 at a garage sale
I found 2 Amanaman figures at a garage sale last year for $.50 each. They were in perfect condition but no staff. Lady said they were her sons in the 80s and someone else had bought all the rest of the toys before i got there. AND THEY LEFT 2 AMANAMAN?!
Thats crazy who would leave any figures behind for $.50 each. Great finds
Jesse Delacruz Great score. I still can't pay what they are going for. My friend has one as well as a pop up lightsaber r2d2.
I got a darth vader case full of old figures complete with weapons..and one of the figures was a mint blue snaggletooth i paid $25 for it all ..this was in 2015..
This is 1 of 1 ever made. I just saw it on pawn stars.
This was a prototype rocket fire no paint... pawn stars had the reproduction rocket but it didn’t fire
came from pawn stars where it was "valued" at 125k someone got robbed. but it wasn't me!
The one on Pawn Stars was painted and carded ready for the retail market, but it was never released. This is the unpainted prototype, That's reason for the price difference.
The one on pawn star it's 1 of 1 in its existence. That one is considered priceless.
Maybe it's one of Marc Poon's replicas. 😂😂😂
My favourite episode
What episode?
Them: wow I am glad to see this
Me: sees it and takes it and runs away*
Bruh dude I go to his card shops all the time! I could even tell you this place is in Cincinnati, Ohio. I live 20 minutes from that place
I forgot the name
Can you please tell me?
Paul B I can not believe it’s been 2 years, anyways it’s call Queen City comics and card shop
Holy sh*t I have never see that is crazy
All I can say is that I’ve got $10,000 burning a hole in my pocket for that figure and I guarantee he’d never let it go for that. Not just a false episode, but an incredibly lowball value.
The figure was placed there just for the show. Would be boring if they just found Ronald McDonald toys lol so they added a boba fett
I think this was the same episode where he also just so happened to find a Wonderbread He-Man in the same general area, around the same span of time. Yeeeeah...
I think they Lowball them & Mainly all the experts On Other shows. Everywhere else Storage wars.Pawn Stars. They lowball them. One lady in storage wars found a GI Joe USS flagg with box & complete in a storage locker. SHe brought it& her expert said $750. When I saw it at other shows & Such for like $1500 loose complete with out box & paper work. I am like lady your getting ripped off. Yeah I know how all these guys work. If your going to sell best way is to do it your self.
"The all-blue, unpainted figure has had a handful of owners over the years. The current seller bought it in 2018 for about $140,000, Tann said."
$140.000
Queen city comics on the corner of ridge and montgomery!
Just saw one at auction that might sell for $100K!
One of these just sold for over 500k
Looks just like the 90's repro version that I have..
Could you please elaborate on that one... I have had a L-slot rocket fett in factory unpainted gray (no rocket included) for 27 years now...mostly assumed naturally that it was most likely not real until recent new information surfaced contradicting that...
This is my story; So a tween kid and dad brought it into my toy/comic book shop to trade it for practically nothing ( for a terrible lose toybiz wonder woman figure for his sister) which was completely odd because even if it had been a repro custom of the highest quality then it would have been worth way more than the trade anyways (and of course countless times more valuable if it proves real)and why the hell would they even have this as I had crazy things like Uzays and Proof Revenge boxes from Todd Chamberlain etc. but not a rocket fett ever...and even more odd when I interrogated them about it was that the kid was too young to be a fan of star wars and didn't want it... he said his uncle had sent it to him when he was too young to remember so I took.the bait and asked if there were other toys too that he ever sent to him and they said no and it was just only ever the Fett figure ...I asked why did he sent it and the dad said he just wanted his son to have it and not sure why and thought it was also strange ...i asked if they knew what the uncle sent the nephew and they said "its a star wars" guy ...so I asked if the uncle had worked in the toy industry and they both said they did not know(the uncle was on the Mothers side and she was not there for questioning and the dad did not apparently know him well)... i asked if the uncle had lived in Ohio.and they said they didn't know if he ever did but did say he lived on the East Coast and may have lived in Pennsylvania before... They were not lying and had no financial motive either and didn't even seem to know what they had or care for or any care if I wanted it or not...I asked WHY they brought it to me and they said they saw my toy store in the paper or on the news (dont remember which one but either was possible)... I was an experienced dealer even back then and yet completely baffled about it... the one bad thing about the boba at that time was that it DID have the COO stamped on it and I was aware of at that time that Tomarts wrote the arcticle debunking rocket fetts and that any boba with a COO could never be legit... but I am skeptical about "experts" definitive knowledge on things that is second hand from sources and still being newly evolved and revealed and was hoping that just maybe they were not 100% correct in their info that no unpainted boba protype can have a COO.stamp...other than that the one I picked up then is identical to everthing else I had seen and compared with of a legit one.. I did also remember a little before that time an ad in the ToY Shop resale newsprint magazine for boba fett rocket fett conversions but I have seen one of those to compare and have only read about them.being more obvious (and painted) ...so I stuck mine away for a few decades assuming it 99.9% not a prototype but not 100%...and NOW recently I finally see a new discovery revelation that Brian Rachfal had put up for auction and STAMPED COO grey unpainted L slot rocket fett identical to mine now debunking Tomarts old facts
. ..now what do I do?!!?... I really want to know more about and see what those 1990s fake customs were that you mention to eliminate that possibility too of course... Ive only had a few.local other toy veterans look it over here and they believed it real and I had an expert plastics mold injector maker also inspect it and explain to me he believed its construction legitimate with sonic welding etc... but I both doubt its real because of probabilith and yet believe it could be at the same time ...and in over 30 years of collecting and traveling other countries for toys and having had my store for 28 years I have come across some complete (almost) unique and amazing items even more rare than a rocket fett... and never again so much any more now a days. .but 30 years ago it was very different and there were many amazing treasure to be snagged if you could recognize them and some I still have to.this day... and others I regretfully sold off to keep the dwindling store alive and running...
So could you point me to where I can see pictures and info on that 1990s fett repro please? Thank you.

How can one finish the video?
How did you get this Rick has it unless they sold it again or the guy lied and there where a couple made
Omg cool my dad has one like that but doesn’t know where is the box of his Star Wars toys he is kinda upset
He just jizzed his shorts
These were made and sold to the public I played with it and I live in England.
That thing is worth over 100000 dollars
Jordan drives me nuts
Makes me wonder if they only glued the rocket down can the glue be broken?
No it was molded and stripped of the spring tension system within the jet pack.
I've got 2 of those.
Prove it. Give them to me
So the production version had the rocket glued to the back but it still had the spring mechanism?
Some of them did. others just had a jetpack mold with a hole fore the rocket with it glued in. I have one myself but it is really a display item now xd. They had no j or l latch spring for it to shoot.
For not fore lol. Auto check ruined it
@@specialunit0428why would there even be a spring if it didnt launch?
I have almost full collection of the Vintage POTF line carded. After all these years. Carded Anakin Skywalker, Yak Face loose but have the coin...crazy to think how much I could get for them now
Cameron Brown v little I'm afraid, they aren't special or limited like this, in fact they r massed produced, everyone has POTF line and because they r so massively easy to get/mass produced, they aren't worth the big buck. But a full set is cool and is worth something, just not this kinda big g...mayb in another 30 years when Anakin is as 'relevant' as bobba fett.
I bought a tri-logo Anakin and Yak Face (2 actually, one set for me and one set for my buddy who was also a big Star Wars fan) in the airport in Paris on a family trip when I was 13 years old. Sold them in the mid 90's for a hundred bucks or so. I kick myself every day for that dunderheaded decision!
@@petermcnallt12pm potf Anakin is very hard fine. Not like this but still a rare find
At this time is was valued at $40 G.
The one that went to pawn stars was more valuable. The one in the packaging that was displayed at the toy fair
A lot are fake.
if i remember right, kenner had already made the decision to not make them fire the missiles, but they only had the working figures so that's what they put on a card (with no back) just for the toy fair.
They could’ve added a string attached to jet pack and missle for safety standards so that way they can yank it out of the child’s throat
I wouldn’t let my little second cousin play with this toy even if he met the age requirement
is toy hunters show back on?
JULIAN V Sadly No. I talk to Jordan every once In a while and they are considering bringing the show back!
$10k 😂😂😂 it just sold for $500k
I have a bag of a shit ton of characters from star wars, they are all on their own stand. They can also shoot. I have boba fet too, along with luke, and he has ammo too, he shoots the force. I can't figure out where they came from, I got it from my sister's ex who's dad had them when he was a kid. They are definitely old.
Sure. Lol
@@vicrules6666 Bull shite, mate!
Wow!
So whats the deal???
Holy heck!
In pwanstar he offer 100,000 to this but the owner rejected it
satkar lamsal the one on pawn stars was a 1/1 carded figure.
That is worth about 150 thousand in box lol
I thought there is only 1 of these I seen it on pawn stars and it dont look like that
Cool 😎
I know people that would come down here right now, and give you upward of five dollars for this.
Jokes on you Rick Harrison found one carded.
Stop your making me laugh. Please your too Funny,Edwaed
I’ve always like the Boba Fett cloud city LEGO Minifigure better Anyone with me on that?
LEGO makes some cool minifigs for sure and I sure like their Boba Fett too. Frankly, I like them better than the bricks that they come with. I've always had trouble building anything out of LEGOs.
A rare, unpainted prototype of a rocket-firing Boba Fett action figure is for sale for an asking price of $225,000 on ebay
dam. 100k now
funny how pawn stars was offering $100k
that one was a fully done and packaged piece . the one is this clip was never packaged or finishd
That was the one and only prototype ,
it had the packing this one doesnt
Paul Leather Both owned like the news companies by the chosen race. Born to lie and steal from the non believers
So both shows said it was one of a kind lop but both are completely different and one is worth 100,000$ more than the other. So how many of them really are out there? Are there a few more like the one found in this video and the one found on lawn stars truly is a one of a kind because it is fully dressed and painted with sealed packaging?
And.only.one known to exist
He said he "thinks so", not it is real
Holy Grail of Star Wars right there! Up to 150,000$ plus!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10k is a joke. Its worth 15x that easy
10k?....on pawn stars their expert said it was worth 125k.......so much bs
I think you're forgetting that the one from Pawn Stars was still in the box.
lol. a mint in box went for 150,000
Roy Lee Garrett the MOC one you're referring to was a toy fair prototype so it is the only one ever put on a card hence the high price
Here because of The Mandalorian Season 2...
He got ripped off
10.000 dollars? this thing got sold for 200.000$
He sold it to some guy for like 20 gs at a comic con set up shop
I thought this toy was worth over 100 grand??? If this is real then the guy got skanked?!
$10,000 lolololid happily buy it for that price
Pawn stars says 150 g
2021 Boba fett is worth 120k
That's my figure. I sold it to the shop owner for some baseball cards.
It belonged to the Kenner guy before this so please don't bullshit
r/thathappened
LOL
$10,000 ? This figure is worth $100,000
Sold for 204k
Hi 6 years enjoy 2016
Nobody will believe me and people don't believe me but they did make it and I had one I cut the coupon mailed it in and they sent it to me in this small white cardboard mailer I can even remember firing the rockets out behind my trailer and writing Kenner a letter to send me more....Believe it or not
Bullshit the exact same thing just sold for like 112k at auction. 10k my ass
I used to love this show, I guess I was the only one watching.
If anyone thinks this is real I've some gold bars I'd like to sell them.....
It is NOT the figure..it's a prototype
da fuck?!
Shame it’s a repro 😂😅
It could bad a fake.
When I saw this on LV Pawn stars it was the only one and that guy said he had the only one ever made
Hmmmmm I smell bull shit in the air
under price
That's not true, my friend sent in for one and they actually sent him one with the spring loaded firing rocket, he said it wasn't in blister pack, it was like in a toothpaste box.
Sure. Just like everyone else in a RUclips comments section whose "dad" or "friend" has an incredibly rare item but oh, don't ask to see it or anything.
Fake ?
Was this filmed with a sock? Or a potato?
One like that sold for 60k not long ago. That guy got raped
So GrandmasDay32 I could say more but the simplest terms, yes it was a plant. Jordan plants all his "scores" he is a tool and wouldn't know a rare toy if it was in front of him, hence why ne needs helpers.
Lol, how do you know? Are you friends with the guy?
@@FSU2001 nope but I know the figure and where it came from. I also know where it went.....
@@megamus9744
Did you know that Boba Fett is short for Boba Fettuccine?
Ha 10000 how bought 100000 grand
Only an idiot would pay 10k for a stupid toy. I remember them and they had them with the rocket fire and painted back in the days, Their memory is fucked up. No kids choked on the piece because kids were not stupid like today.
