Vintage Star Wars Kenner Action Figure Collector's Case with Figures

This item is a vintage Star Wars action figure carrying case, commonly known as a 'Collector's Case', filled with numerous original Kenner action figures from the late 1970s to early 1980s era. The case itself is black, appears to be made of a textured vinyl or mock-leather material, with a zipper closure and a handle (though the handle is not fully visible). Inside, it features a molded blue plastic tray with individual compartments designed to neatly store and display approximately 12-15 action figures. The figures present include iconic characters such as Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, Stormtrooper, Han Solo, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, and what appears to be a Power Droid. Other characters, possibly Greedo, Walrus Man, Snaggletooth, and a red-suited figure (perhaps 4-LOM or a red Snaggletooth variation) are also visible. The figures vary in scale but are uniform for the Kenner line, typically around 3.75 inches tall, made of molded plastic, and feature movable limbs. Visible condition issues include potential dust accumulation and some signs of play wear on the figures, such as paint chipping on edges and raised details, which is common for toys of this age. The blue plastic tray shows general aging but no obvious cracks. There are no clear manufacturer's marks visible on the case or figures in this image, but their design and characteristic features strongly indicate they are from the original Kenner production run. The overall presentation suggests a well-preserved collection from a serious enthusiast or collector, with the case serving its intended purpose of organization and protection. Quality indicators suggest these are mass-produced toys, but their enduring popularity and historical significance elevate their collectible value.
