This Tauntaun toy was added on April 2021 and originally released in 1980 with a retail price of $7.99. This action figure is part of the Star Wars genre within the Kenner Vintage Collection series. With an average selling price of $276.65, this toy is highly collectible as it's selling for 34x over its retail price. Hundreds of collectors have this toy (177) in their user collections, so it does seem to be very popular. AFA auctions are considered in determining the value of this item, potentially leading to a greater variance in the price range. Also, there are several variations of this figure. Often variations can be worth more so carefully inspect your toy to see which version you have.

The Fragile Horns: This is the number one issue you'll face in try collect a minty version. The horns are made of a very thin, hard plastic and are incredibly brittle. They were easy to snap off, and it's rare to find a Tauntaun with both original horns completely intact and unglued. Many collectors buy a loose figure only to find that the horns have been re-attached with glue, which significantly lowers the value.

The Saddle and Reins: The saddle is a separate piece that fits over the Tauntaun's back. While the saddle itself is fairly durable, it’s a small component that was easily lost. Without it, the figure looks incomplete. The even more common issue is the reins. This thin, flexible piece of plastic attaches to the saddle and the Tauntaun's head. It is extremely prone to snapping or simply going missing.

The "Belly" Action Feature: A defining feature of the Tauntaun is its spring-loaded belly, which allows you to place a figure inside as if it's been gutted. This action feature is a major point of failure. Over time, the spring can lose its tension, or the plastic tabs that hold the belly shut can weaken and break. When inspecting a figure, always check that the belly opens and closes smoothly and securely.

Collector's Tip: The most important thing to check when buying a Tauntaun is the condition of the horns and the belly feature. Ask for a clear photo showing the horns from all angles and a photo with the belly open.
