Last year NIGO and Sotheby’s partnered up for “NIGO Only Lives Twice” to auction off some collectibles from his extensive collection. Now the visionary Japanese designer and auction house are back at it, this time to launch the first-ever auction of Star Wars collectibles at Sotheby’s. Aptly dubbed “Return of the NIGO,” the endeavor includes more than 600 original action figures along with everything from a replica of Darth Vader’s helmet and autographed lightsabers to a Jabba the Hutt cookie jar, vintage film posters and more. Individual pieces are estimated to start at $100 USD and go for as much as $35,000 USD when the online auction kicks off December 11.

For a full look at the offerings, head on over to Sotheby’s to peruse the listing.
