Hasbro’s Star Wars: the Vintage Collection strikes back with a new line of action figures, just in time for the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
The Vintage Collection honors the original Kenner line of Star Wars action figures first popularized with the release of Star Wars: A New Hope. With more than 150 minifigures from the Star Wars films and expanded universe, these retro collectibles maintain a classic look in packaging, a detailed design, and the same 3.75-inch size as their ’70s predecessors. The new Rise of Skywalker additions bring 10 more incredibly detailed and adjustable action figures to the collection.
Updated favorites include Rey with a new outfit and detachable satchel, X-Wing pilot variants of Poe Dameron and Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Chewbacca, R2-D2, and an Imperial Stormtrooper. They’re joined by new additions Zoril Bliss, an all-red Sith Jet Trooper, and a mysteriously masked Knight of Ren. These new characters will no doubt make an appearance in the upcoming film, so get to know them in person before seeing them in action.
Each figure includes a number of signature accessories, such as Rey’s staff and lightsaber and Luke’s X-Wing helmet, that fit easily in their tiny grasps. The figures feature beautiful paint jobs and textures that give them each a worthy place in any galactic crime boss’s collection.
The highly articulated figures are a blast to position in any number of poses, thanks to their bendable knees, rotational shoulders, and heads with 360-degree movement. Maintaining the figures’s balance can be difficult: Positioning a figure on both feet without tumbling over can be a bit of a frustrating experience. But once they find their footing, each figure’s bold design and action-ready stances makes it the perfect addition to any collection, play set, or perfectly nerdy desk arrangement.
These new figures are sure to jump to lightspeed right off the shelf, so don’t wait around.
