Prototype Star Wars Bib Fortuna: $47,000 (£36k)

This prototype resin figure used in the manufacture of production Star Wars figures was sent by Kenner to Roger Morrison, a tooling manager of the toys in the early 1980s. While it is a relatively unknown character, the fact it was a prototype model, meant its UK auction price soared from an expected $15.000 (£12,000) to a healthy $47,000 (£36k) from an unknown bidder in the US.
