“From the Sands of Tatooine”
This original 1977 Kenner Jawa is a true vintage Star Wars treasure! As one of the first twelve figures ever released for the Star Wars line, the Jawa has a special place in collecting history. What makes this figure particularly special is the original cloth robe – Kenner later switched to a vinyl cape version which is much less desirable among collectors. The fabric hood and cape on this figure are made from actual cloth material, giving it a more screen-accurate look that the later vinyl versions simply couldn’t match.
The figure features the classic Jawa design with its distinctive glowing yellow eyes peeking out from beneath the hood. With “Hong Kong” country of origin marking, this places it in the earliest production runs from 1977. While the original blaster is missing, the all-important cloth robe remains intact and removable, allowing you to display the figure either with or without it. The actual Jawa body underneath is in great shape too, with minimal wear to the paint applications. For collectors of early Star Wars memorabilia, the original cloth cape Jawa represents one of the most historically significant figures from the dawn of Star Wars collecting!

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: “How can I tell this is a genuine vintage Jawa and not a reproduction?”
A: The figure has the original “Hong Kong” marking, correct proportions, and the authentic cloth texture that modern reproductions can’t match. - Q: “Is the cloth robe original or a replacement?”
A: This is the genuine original cloth robe that came with the figure in 1977, showing the correct weave pattern and attachment points. - Q: “Does the figure have any damage or repairs?”
A: No repairs or significant damage – just normal light play wear consistent with a 45+ year old figure. The cloth shows expected age but no tears or major staining. - Q: “Why are the cloth cape Jawas so much more valuable than the vinyl cape ones?”
A: Kenner initially released Jawas with cloth robes, then quickly switched to cheaper vinyl capes to cut costs. The cloth versions were produced in much smaller numbers, making them far rarer.
