Toy Fair 2019 - Hasbro Star Wars: The Retro Collection

By Adam Pawlus — Saturday, February 16, 2019

Star Wars goes Kenner! Six reissues and one new vintage-style "ReAction"-esque figure are seemingly exclusive to Target, and of course sold out preorders in seconds. Hopefully Target and Hasbro don't pull a Spinosaurus and keep them coming all year long!

Single-carded figures have fake card wear printed on the packaging. The Stormtrooper, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia are the only six they claim to be reissuing. Supposedly they're perfect - 1995's Classic 4-Pack was more than a little off, but I assume and indeed hope these 6 new ones have some superficial differences to tell them apart. Like not being discolored by age, for example.

An all-new Grand Moff Tarkin is packaged with a remake of the Escape the Death Star Board Game, because they knew how hot that might be. As such, expect fans to buy 2-3 of the board game so they can have an open figure, a carded figure and a playable game, and a sealed sample. If memory serves, these are all due in May.
