Star Wars Retro Kenner Collection
Star Wars The Vintage Collection
Thanks to a few postings around the web, we see that Hasbro has released some new photos. The official high resolution images showcase some new Star Wars items in and out of packaging. These include Star Wars: The Vintage Collection – 2019 Wave 1, as well as Star Wars: Black Series – General Grievous. The upcoming assortment of Vintage Collection figures are available now for pre-order, with a March 2019 release. According to Flyguy, General Grievous will go up for pre-order “next Wednesday”, and is set for a release sometime this Spring. According to Yakface, the figure will be a “Hasbro Fan Channel” Exclusive. That simply means the figure will be available via online retailers as opposed to being on store shelves.
UPDATE: General Grievous has begun to go up for pre-order!

Time for another round of Star Wars Black Series catch up galleries. This round is a look at two more OT characters – Lando Calrissian in Skiff Guard gear from Return of the Jedi and Princess Leia in her Hoth gear. These both use Hasbro’s new digital paint on the faces, and both came out great. Lando especially. The sculpt and paint on the rest of Lando is also top notch, it’s really one of the best SWBS6 figs in a bit. My copy of Leia – eyes are a little crossed. Otherwise a solid figure just like the Target Bespin version which uses parts of the mold. Dengar from yesterday and Bespin Han Solo were also in this wave, which was split with several new Solo movie characters. You can view Han here from the SDCC set. He’s the same in wave 19, minus the fancy box, mask and extra finger from the con set. Dengar can be seen here.
You can grab the whole wave below at Dorkside Toys. Read on to check out our full gallery for Lando and Leia after the break!

Gentle Giant has opened up pre-orders for their new Star Wars: Episode V- The Empire Strikes Back – Bespin Leia Jumbo Kenner Figure. This figure is an exact reproduction of the original Kenner 3.75″ scale Star Wars figure, 3D scanned and scaled up to stand 12″ tall. The figure comes in a resealable clamshell design inspired by the original card back. The figure includes a blaster pistol and a vinyl cape.
Fans of the Jumbo Kenner line can pre-order the figure by Clicking Here. The Bespin Princess Leia is priced at $80. It’s currently listed for a release in the second quarter of 2019. See photos and full details by reading on.
Time to take a look at another Star Wars Black Series store exclusive – Bespin Escape Princess Leia! This one has been in and out quick, I’ve personally yet to find her in the wild. However, our friends over at Dorkside Toys have been able to secure limited stock so if you want to skip the hunt, hit them up. This Leia is using the base body from the Hoth piece due out (officially) later this year sans jacket, with an alternate head to match her hair style in that part of the movie. She comes with an Imperial Blaster seen with the Stormtroopers. The face sculpt is on point, the new digital printing is on point. Even close up you are hard to find pixelation, and it really makes the eyes pop which is the key to bringing these figures to life on our shelves. Bottom line, it’s a core character in a core look at makes a great trip down nostalgia lane when you pair up with existing BS6 figures. Now all we need is Bespin Han without his jacket :) I had a blast shooting her so read on to check out over 30 HD pics of them all escaping from Bespin!
