No - Kenner did not make a Tarkin figure in the original batch of figures up to 1985. When they relaunched the Star Wars figures in the 90's, they did make a Tarkin, but never with the original vintage items.

Tarkin was planned for their proposed 1985 SW Epic Continues line but was never released. I don't think he got past a sketch.Last edited by Werewolf; Feb 16, '19, 6:40 PM.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

These are neat but I'm not sure about paying $9.99 each for these. I mean for a couple dollars more I can get a new Mego.Comment

Cardback isn't as pretty as I'd like.
But other than that I have no complaints. I'm going to collect the hell out of these.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

The Tarkn figure should have been available in 1978. Nice to see they are making new figures for this line. I wonder if they will do a Rebel Trooper at some point.Comment

Yes! Tarkin! At last!
Now give us Biggs, Wedge and the Rebel Fleet Trooper, Hasbro!
PUNY HUMANS!Comment

I don't remember where I saw it but the Tarkin figure is only going to be a available with a board game. Is that right?Comment

I understand the marketing reasons, but stamping it "RETRO!!!!" is a bit on the nose.Comment

My only nit with these is the sheer size of that RETRO blurb on the cards. I wish it were about half that size so it didn't cover so much of the photos.
I'm hoping maybe it's a sticker that can be removed.Comment

Ill definately get the missing links, but wish they had gone without a tray inside, and just had the figure rattling around. Yeah that retro label is a bit much covering up the whole picture....Comment
