AFA 70 Star Wars Ben Obi Wan Kenobi

This is a beautiful carded figure, and something I could never expect to own.

Star Wars Kenner 1978 Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi DT DOUBLE TELESCOPING SABER Carded MOC! This is one of 8 or 9 DT Obi-Wan’s still known to exist carded!

The saber is what makes this figure so valuable. Evidence suggests that only a very few of these were issued, as Kenner moved to a simple one-piece saber before the line even hit store shelves.

To notice the difference, you can see that there is no curve between the thick and thin portions of the saber; the thin stem appears to go straight into the thicker shell. The apparently short length of the thin portion is also a telltale sign of the DT saber. The “wick” portion would appear to be much longer on the standard accessory.
