Hasbro revealed new Star Wars figures in The Vintage Collection, Black Series, and The Retro Collection on Thursday. Target.com put up pre-orders for six individually carded figures, and we saw previews for three new multipacks to follow later. That's 13 figures so far. I have a few observations.

Luke Skywalker seems to have brown hair and a double-telescoping lightsaber, in addition to a new cardback with a new back-of-cardback. That's pretty interesting.

Princess Leia Organa has no obvious figure changes - let me know if I missed one.

Han Solo has the smaller head variant. Are any other changes in there? I don't know - there are hopes that the hands were retooled to better hold the blasters, but that will probably be unknown until fans get them in-hand.

Chewbacca has an Early Bird-style green bowcaster. Most of us don't have one of those.

Darth Vader has a double-telescoping lightsaber.

Obi-Wan Kenobi has a double-telescoping lightsaber and gray hair. The telescoping lightsaber was enough to get me to buy it.

And what of the multipacks?

The Early Bird Kit with R2-D2, C-3PO, and a Death Squad Commander does not seem immediately massively different. Let me know if I missed something other than maybe the shade of gold on C-3PO. The backdrop itself now has art for 13 figures and 13 pegs - as opposed to 12 for the 1977/1978 and 2005 releases. It's different enough, you're going to want one.

The Stormntrooper vs. Rebel Fleet Trooper seems identical. If the Stormtrooper's hand has been retooled, this will probably be a massive hit. And if it wasn't, I'll still buy a couple more.

The Jawa and Tusken Raider has a lot to offer variant fans. The vinyl cape on the Jawa has been out of reach for most fans in any official capacity, while the Tusken Raiders with hollow cheek tubes are much desired. You'll want this one, although I have to confess I prefer the cloth one for troop building. I'm very glad we're getting this now.

While Hasbro has not confirmed tallies yet as far as I can tell, this would seem to be 13/28 figures and 1/3 blobs. This seems to be a great fresh start for anyone who missed the previous releases of these figures, although it's worth noting you can get some pretty cheap Rebel Fleet Troopers and friends on eBay right now.
