We have 185 photos of the Hasbro San Diego Comic-Con 2019 Preview Night Star Wars display. Like their Marvel display, there isn’t much new here just yet. But, there’s a bunch of Black Series, 3.75″ Vintage collection, the Retro Collection and more. Look for additions throughout the event, especially after their Star Wars panel. Check out the photos after the jump.
We have received a press release from Blue Milk LLC, a new media company formed from former toy industry professionals Derryl DePriest, Rich Alot, and D. Martin Myatt. Their first project will be a comprehensive visual guide book for Hasbro’s Star Wars: The Vintage Collection. They have launched a Kickstarter to fund the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Archive Edition Book, with a funding goal of $50,000. They are well on their way already, with over $10,000 pledged by backers. Check out the press release below, and a few images after the jump.
Former Toy Industry Professionals Form Media Company; Announce Premium Star Wars Action Figure Guide
ROVIDENCE, R.I. – June 7, 2019 – Today, Blue Milk LLC launches Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Archive Edition book on crowd-funding site Kickstarter. Starting from $50 for early bird backers, the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Archive Edition is a comprehensive historical manuscript and detailed visual archive of one of Hasbro’s most popular lines of 3.75-inch Star Wars action figures, The Vintage Collection (TVC).
Written by Derryl DePriest, former Vice President of Global Brand Management and Star Wars brand team leader at Hasbro, the book comprises approximately 300 pages detailing TVC action figures, creatures, vehicles and playsets. Each item in the collection will feature a write-up informed by inside knowledge from the design and marketing team, and will be accompanied by crisp, high-resolution photos. The volume will be printed on premium-quality paper, bound in a deluxe hardcover.
“The Vintage Collection is one of the greatest toy lines of all time, offering an incredible balance between source material accuracy, detail and playability,” according to DePriest. “Our goal with The Vintage Collection Archive Edition is to pay tribute to this amazing series and the team that created it, offering spectacular photography and new insights for the long-time fan while acting as a primer covering the entire series for the newer collector.”
Joining DePriest are co-authors D. Martin Myatt and Rich Alot. The trio will self-publish the book under their newly formed company Blue Milk LLC. Steve Sansweet, Star Wars super-collector and President and CEO of Rancho Obi-Wan, will write the foreword.
“Introduced in 2010 with roots in the legendary 1978 Kenner Star Wars toy line, The Vintage Collection has grown to include hundreds of figures, vehicles, and special sets. Keeping track of everything available is challenging, and The Vintage Collection Archive Edition will be an invaluable resource to fans and collectors alike,” Sansweet says.
The book’s Kickstarter campaign offers a variety of backer rewards for those supporting the project, including a TVC compendium poster by Kim Simmons, Kenner’s principal Star Wars photographer between 1981-2000. In another tie to the original toy line, the poster uses the actual yellow background seen on Star Wars action figure packaging in the ’80s. In addition to the backer rewards, the campaign has stretch goals to unlock more content and chapters.
Book Specs:
- Deluxe hardcover in an 9.25 x 11.5 inch (23.5 x 29.5 cm) format
- Professionally designed layout with easy to use reference guide featuring high-resolution photos and detailed write ups printed on premium quality paper
- Comprehensively covers every The Vintage Collection (TVC) 3.75-inch action figure, creature, vehicle and playset.
- Chapter breaks with full-page width photos inspired by classic Kenner-era packaging
- Additional content unlocked with stretch goals
- Approximately 300 pages
- December 2019 delivery

Hasbro released pre-orders for a few new items during Toy Fair 2019. They are popping up across multiple sites, so I’ll try to share as many link as possible, along with the pics that accompanied them. There were also some new official pics released, so you can find those here as well. Check them out after the jump.
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!
