Description
Three original 1995 Star Wars: The Power of the Force II action figures manufactured by Kenner. This lot features three iconic characters: Yoda, complete with his Jedi trainer backpack and gimer stick (Asst. No. 60605, No. 69672); a TIE Fighter Pilot equipped with an imperial blaster pistol and rifle (Asst. No. 69570, No. 69584); and R2-D2 featuring a light-pipe eye port and retractable third leg (Asst. No. 69570, No. 69574). Each figure is constructed of molded vinyl and plastic, factory-sealed under a clear blister bubble on a color-printed "Red Card" backing featuring the signature Darth Vader helmet graphic. The reverse of each card includes character biographical data, a point-of-purchase UPC, and cross-sell imagery for the contemporary toy line. All three items were professionally authenticated and graded by Collector Archive Services (CAS) in February 2023 and are permanently housed in archival-grade clear acrylic display cases. The lot is accompanied by three individual "Statement of Archival" certificates providing detailed sub-grades for the card, bubble, and figure condition. Each archival case measures approximately 10 x 7 x 1.5 inches.
Condition: All three figures are in factory-sealed, unopened condition. Yoda is graded CAS 80+ (Real Grade 84.1) with sub-grades of Card 80, Bubble 85, and Figure 90. The TIE Fighter Pilot is graded CAS 80+ (Real Grade 84.2) with sub-grades of Card 80, Bubble 85, and Figure 90.

All original accessories are present and secured within the internal blister packaging.
