That which plagues your dreams and makes you cry out in the night may be in stock! The Star Wars Retro Collection Star Wars: A New Hope Figure Multipack has been going in and out of stock (for shipping) all week long, usually around midnight Pacific.

It's also been going in and out for local in-store pick-up, so make it a point to obsessively reload this link and click "check other stores" to see if you should bother putting on pants and leaving the house today. Normally I'd say "no," but for Kenner figures, I'll find some pants.

If you're over 40 I would recommend picking up one or two of this set. Or three. In 2025, Hasbro is making the figures I was dreaming we would get for the 1995 relaunch. They may not be the exact perfect things we wanted, but they're pretty close and the price (while not cheap) seems fair.

I got the set, and I've opened five of the six figures so far. I don't know when the next set is coming out so I don't want to blow through them. I'm working on Figure of the Day reviews, too. So what do I think? Well, I'll tell you what I think.

Dr. Evazan is great. Purple pants, two blasters (one for your old gunless Kenner Walrus Man), good sculpt, good detail, good paint. The biggest knock I have against the figure is its competency - it's better than all the Evazans we got before The Vintage Collection, so the face is too superb compared to other Kenner humans. So it's good.

Walrus Man is a good remake (with soft details). The colors aren't quite as vibrant as my trio of 1979-ish originals, but he can hold his blaster and the eye paint and front butt paint are cleaner than I've ever seen on the genuine article. If you want remakes of old figures, this is good.

Han Solo (Imperial Stormtrooper Outfit) makes me happier than when I got Stormtrooper Luke back in 1990, and that was a pretty dang good day. One bent arm adds some Han-ness, the rubbery helmet has the same (lacking) details to match Luke, and he can hold blasters in both hands. He also has a bonus rifle for Chewie or a sandtrooper. The neck turns. The head sculpt looks silly and off-model - like your other Kenner Han figures. They did a good job here, but it' worth noting the details are a little soft. You will want one.

Luke Skywalker (Yavin) is still carded. Stay tuned.

Rebel Fleet Trooper continues the curse of many of his figures being odd, like the too-tall, too-buff tan-pantsed 1997 release. The face is excellent. The colors are perfect. The helmet is lacking a lot of detail (like the 1978 Death Squad Commander), the pose is odd, and a number of elements seem unpolished. He has the weirdest and least detailed butt of any retro figure. The hands are a little too small for the blaster grip - but he can hold it. The vest's lack of detail makes me think an earlier digital sculpt got submitted for approval. I don't hate it, it's weird, but not weird in a Kenner of the 1970s kind of way. If you despise it, go get a Mini-Rig or Imperial Troop Transport and put him in the driver's seat. It may make you smile.

Sandtrooper is also very good, with a bent elbow and two gripping hands. The head on mine doesn't really turn - it barely budges - and he has a unique and obscure blaster. If you don't like it, steal one of Hantrooper's blasters. If you could you would buy extras of this one.
