Description:
Like the Luke, Leia and Han large size figures, Kenner's 12" tall representation of the Jedi mentor had a Barbiesque rubber-and-plastic body and an excellently sculpted head. It also came with a nice brown robe, a white and black undergarment, boots and a yellow lightsaber, which was made from the same mold as the blue saber that came packaged with the large size Luke. It also had painted-on blue underpants-- I kid you not.
Since Ben was an old man and likely to be among the less popular large size figures, it's understandable that he's relatively tough to locate loose and in nice condition. Kenner probably made less of their Ben figure than they did of Luke or Darth Vader.
