And an unopened Kenner Star Wars vintage Boba Fett figure is set to go for even more at between £3,000 and £5,000.
Still on its original backing card, it is also ‘unpunched’ meaning the toy never found its way onto a toy shop shelf.

Hide AdNick Dykes, TV and film specialist at Vectis, said: “The interest we have seen in modern toys, in particular action figures is increasing.
"In particular those from the 1970, 80s and 90s in excellent order have recently recorded four-figure sums for a single piece.”
The toys all come from one anonymous owner who carefully curated the collection buying the best they could find.
Also included in the sale is a Kenner MASK Boulder Hill playset still sealed in its original box with an estimate of £500- £1,000.
