A man’s private “Star Wars” collection has fetched $3.55m at auction as more figures are set to go under the hammer.

Jeff Jacob, a custom home builder, spent 33 years collecting more than 800 figures from the much-loved franchise that is now going under the hammer.

Part four of Jeff’s collection will be auctioned at Hake’s Auctions in York, Pennsylvania, on February 4, 2026.

The most coveted of all the figures up for grabs is a 1978 “Star Wars” double-telescoping Luke Skywalker 12 back0c action figure, which is expected to fetch between $50k to $75k.

Another top item up for grabs is a complete set of 92 “Star Wars” uncirculated AFA-graded action figures that Kenner released for their Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi, and The Power Of The Force toy lines.

This is the first time a complete set of its type has ever appeared at auction. The 92 figures are estimated to fetch between $25k to $35k under the hammer.

Also included in the auction are more than 100 Habro GI Joe figures, from the 1984 GI Joe release, which is set to sell for between $2k to $5k.

In 2025, Hake’s auctioned three parts of Jacob’s prized action figure holdings, which had raked in $3.55m.

Three of Jeff’s Boba Fett figures, still in their original box, swept the field and broke three world records after selling for $112,4k.

Claiming the top spot of the auction was a Spanish-language action figure of Boba Fett from Return of the Jedi, which fetched $77,885 – a world record price for any production Boba Fett action figure.

A 12-inch Boba Fett figure, from The Empire Strikes Back, sold for a world-record price of $17,700.

Making it a Boba Fett trifecta within the top 10, a Return of the Jedi, Boba Fett Tri-Logo, in a French Meccano-style blister, sold for $16,875.

Online bidding is now open on all items from the Jeff Jacob Collection Part IV. The auction will close on February 4, 2026.
