The Hasbro Star Wars Team held a press event at New York Toy Fair Day 1 and it included a full look at the new Star Wars Retro 6-pack from A New Hope which to now had only been a Pipeline reveal.



The set features Retro styled figures of Walrus Man (Pondo Baba), Dr. Evazan, Han in Stormtrooper disguise, Imperial Sandtrooper, Luke from the Yavin Ceremony, and a Rebel Fleet Trooper. Each figure is individually carded and then packed into an outer box.


The set will go up for general pre-orders at Target in the US and at Fan Channel retailers including Hasbro Pulse, as of the 5th of March 2025.



STAR WARS RETRO COLLECTION STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE FIGURE MULTIPACK 

(HASBRO | Ages 4 and Up | Approx. Retail Price: $59.99 | Pre-Order on March 5 at 1PM ET on Target.com; available Spring 2025) 


Ideal for new fans and long-time collectors alike, the STAR WARS Retro Collection features detailing and design calling back to the original 1970s and 1980s figures. Inspired by STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE, this Retro Collection 3.75-inch-scale multipack is ideal for play or display, bringing back the nostalgic feel of Kenner toys (additional products each sold separately, subject to availability). Includes the classic duo of Dr. Evazan and Walrus Man, plus Han Solo (Imperial Stormtrooper Outfit), Luke Skywalker (Yavin), Rebel Fleet Trooper, and Sandtrooper figures. Includes 10 accessories for poseability on your shelf, including Han Solo’s removable helmet and blaster accessories for each character. 



From the Star Wars Black Series, there was nothing immediately new on the table. But we do get another look at the incoming Amazon Gaming Greats 2-packs featuring Dagan Gera and Commando Droid, and the Commando Clone and Battle Droid.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
