    I really hope we get expanded characters like Tarkin and such. I get why they're repop the original 12 but let's expand the first movie.

      I don't know how far they will go with this but I would consider anything past the original 12 an added bonus. I'd also be super happy for variants like small head Han and vinyl cape Jawa.
      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

        They look pretty good. I was hoping they would maybe change them a little, Like maybe make a New Hope Han that looks more like the Bespin figure, which is my favorite Han figure.

        Small headed Han was my childhood Han and the big headed one just looks weird to me! Haha!

        It would be great to see a Tarkin!

            Same here... Small head Han is the one I've had since I was a kid!

            I'll also echo the sentiments of people hoping for figures such as Grand Moff Tarkin... and also others like the Rebel Fleet Trooper, Uncle Owen, Aunt Beru, etc.

              I think uncle Owen and Aunt Beru would be slow sellers. But stuff like Tarkin, Rebel Fleet Trooper and Han Stormtrooper would be super popular.

                Yep. Fill out the cantina. Some of Leia's guards. The Death Star guys with the two layered helmets.

                  If this goes on long enough it would be awesome if we could get reissues of the figures from the Droids and Ewoks cartoons. Lots of prototyped unreleased figures in that.

                            glad to see the vintage style Tarkin, but not so thrilled with the beat up vintage cards. I didn't really like that look when Mattel did it for retro action, and I am still not interested in having my jeans stone washed and prefaded.

                              Picture of the Escape from Deathstar board game with Tarkin. Nice!



                              Lots of nice clear pics of the retro collection.

                              Classic Kenner Star Wars figures are getting a special re-release from Hasbro! They will be called the Retro Collection. The first figures debuted at Toy Fair 2019. Also on display was a Jabba's Palace play set and Jabba's Tattoine Skiff in the Vintage Collection. You can see all of the 3.75" scale figures after the...

                                Excuse my ignorance--was there a vintage Tarkin? I seem to recall missing one when I was a tween.

                                I can't believe I just used "tween."
