The first one was the Jawa figure which was unique, and in it's original packaging - in good condition of 80% with a vinyl cape.

The next figure, was second version of the Star Wars character - but it didn't come in it's packaging.

The last figure was the one that really stood out to Fiona, it came in French packaging and a condition rating of 85%.

It was revealed that the action toy had been discontinued because it was too big and Fiona felt this could increase it's price.

Stephen commented: "It's any of these values, £50, £3,500, and £20,000."

Fiona responded: “Wow, crickey. I have absolutely no idea I’ve got to be completely honest here.

Putting them in order, Fiona guessed the second figure was £500, the Jawa in the French case was £3,500 and the original figure was £20,000.

Stephen exclaimed: "That's correct!"

Stephen congratulated Fiona for getting the prices correct.

A stunned Fiona explained her reasons to the expert - revealing she couldn't quite believe the price tag for the original figure.

“But this (the original model) £20,000!," Fiona told Stephen in disbelief.

Antiques Roadshow is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
