Boba Fett figures and toys - Buy NowThere are several basic categories of Star Wars action figures. The ones released between 1977 (when the first part of the saga appeared in the cinemas) and 1985 are usually referred to as the vintage line. They are particularly interesting for collectors and usually be purchased in online auctions or in comic book stores. If you like their style, but don't want to pay too much, you should look for Star Wars Legacy Collection - a modern line of figures inspired by the vintage collection, which should be available in most of the major online stores.

Other lines of Star Wars figures include the Star Wars: Clone Wars figures inspired by the animated TV series, Star Wars Legends of the Saga including characters from the film episodes, or Star Wars Galactic Heroes, a line of 2" cute figures, created for young children and collectors.
