At last weekend’s Star Wars Celebration, Hasbro showed a video at their panel announcing the return of the Vintage Figure Collection in Spring 2018. Set to the music used in the Force Awakens trailer, the video shows clips from the original trilogy mixed in with clips from the classic Kenner commercials. At the end, a Force Awakens clip and a photo of a new Rey action figure in the Vintage Collection packaging is shown. The video has not been released officially, but someone who attended the panel recorded it and put it online.
The Vintage Collection was a favorite among collectors, with super articulated figures in retro-styled packaging identical to the classic Kenner figure line.
The Vintage Collection line was discontinued prior to the release of The Force Awakens, and nostalgic fans have been clamoring for its return.
Here’s the video.
We’ll post more news on the return of the Vintage Collection as we get it.
