<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cIt would have been a couple maybe not-so-great shots from the set or maybe something’s backwards, like those sort of things,\u201d Reiff said. \u201cAnd trying to work in, not errors, but a certain style that hearkens back to that and why Kenner stuff looked that way.\u201d<\/p>\n
As an example, Reiff said the Retro Collection Tusken Warrior uses the same underlying body structure as the original Kenner Tusken Raider figure<\/a>, but drops the stylized, very-\u201970s vinyl cape for an updated soft-goods version that \u201ccompletely changes the look of that figure.\u201d<\/p>\n The other Retro Collection figures follow the same formula. The Boba Fett (Dune Sea) figure<\/a> comes with a soft goods robe, along with his rifle and Gaffi stick, but the face still has sparse paint deco like the originals.<\/p>\n Reiff also said the Retro Collection Cad Bane\u2019s overhanging hat is molded in a similar way to the Kenner Death Squad Commander\u2019s helmet<\/a>, and the backpack that comes with the Retro Collection Grogu figure based on the TBOBF training scene is modified from the backpack included with the 1996 Power of the Force 2 version<\/a> based on Yoda\u2019s Empire Strikes Back training scene. <\/p>\n The Retro Collection Fennec Shand has a removable helmet like the Kenner Leia-as-Boussh<\/a>, and like the original, Fennec\u2019s face is intentionally a bit smaller and distorted to allow the helmet to come off. The TBOBF Luke has a soft-goods cape like the Kenner ROTJ figure<\/a>, just in a new color that better matches his updated look. And finally, the Retro Collection Krrsantan utilizes piece shapes similar to the Kenner Chewbacca<\/a>, just modified to be more like the Wookiee bounty hunter and with an added armor piece.<\/p>\n \u201cThe idea is that our new retro stuff fits right in and is a continuation of both the spirit and effective line of what Kenner was doing,\u201d Reiff added.<\/p>\n While there is no pre-order available for TBOBF Retro Collection figures yet, they will be $11.99 and are scheduled to release this year. [Editor’s Note: Their Spring 2023 signage may be a goof. Previous press releases say Fall 2023.]<\/em><\/p>\n We also learned more about Hasbro\u2019s character selection process when it comes to their action figure lines. Schneider said that with all of the new Star Wars media released today, plus everything that\u2019s come before, we\u2019re in a \u201cgolden age of Star Wars collecting,\u201d and that it\u2019s a collaborative effort among Hasbro, Lucasfilm and Disney, with fan convention and social media feedback added in.<\/p>\n \u201c[Lucasfilm and Disney] bring us their point of view, kind of what they think is going to be big in new media, what their other priorities are. We bring kind of the perspective from the toy community and we land on those selects,\u201d Schneider said. \u201cAnd I think we usually end up in a good place.\u201d <\/p>\n The Book of Boba Fett also inspired The sole SDCC-exclusive figure, which is a more deluxe version of the mainline TVC Black Krrsantan. Convention attendees had to use a unique QR code to purchase the figure on Hasbro Pulse for $39.99. But fear not: If you didn\u2019t travel to San Diego this time around, there will be limited quantities available on Pulse at a later date.<\/p>\n The original, mainline TVC Krrsantan, which is still on pre-order, comes with nine accessories for $27.99. But the SDCC-exclusive version comes with 14 accessories, adding two swords, a heavy blaster with an electric shock effect and a bowcaster to the original nine, along with a fold-out display box and a new angry Krrsantan head. <\/p>\n Hasbro also had their TVC Boba Fett\u2019s Throne Room set up at their booth, although this time around, rather than being based on its look during The Mandalorian and TBOBF, it was Return-of-the-Jedi-style.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/div><\/div>
