An extremely rare Star Wars Boba Fett action figure measuring just 3.75 inches tall was auctioned for a record-breaking $525,000.

Heritage Auctions announced the action figure is now the world’s most valuable vintage toy. The action figure took the record from a Barbie bearing a 1-carat diamond that sold for $302,000 in 2010.

The figure, still sealed in its original packaging, was given a 95 grade by the Action Figure Authority.

“The rocket-firing Boba Fett action figure long ago became such a mythic icon that people worldwide know about it even if they don’t collect anything at all,” Heritage Auctions Executive Vice President Joe Maddalena said.
