Does anyone like the Retro Collection? I don't mean that in a rude way or anything. I personally love the Retro line, but I'm a bit behind on the Mando S1 and Kenobi waves and I still don't have any of the New Hope figures but I'm going to try and catch up soon. However, I was thinking a while back after Hasbro revealed the Return of the Jedi Retro figures, it would be really cool to get Retro figures from all the films. I especially would be very happy to buy Prequel and Sequel characters done in the classic Kenner style. I think it would be a really cool idea, would anyone else be interested?
actually Hasbro already done "retro" style for the prequel figures along with a few for original trilogy back in the Movie Heroes and Mission Series and little bit for Rebels Saga Legends Mission Series/Rebels Saga L egends Jango Fett looks pretty good in my opinion
Ya those waves plus the original Prequel lines are pretty retro to me. Some of the Saga-AOTC, ROTS waves could use a retro line but the Mission Series as stated above covered a few. "Does anyone like the Retro Collection?" Heck ya!!! Love them all! And yes we do need some characters done in retro. I'm happy with whatever they release however many fans of the OT, including me, have been salvating for a retro Mon Mothma, Rebel Fleet troopers, Sandtroopers, Oola, Jabbas goons, etc. Hello Hasbro let's go!!
We are finally getting a retro style Mon Mothma!!! And a Yak Face !! Which was never released in the US back in 1985. Plus the reveal of six TPM retro figures which look great. I feel like the original line in 1999 was pretty retro to the 80s figures already, but I'll still get them.
Did anyone else love the ROTJ 6 pack from Hasbro Pulse or Disney? Also I received (finally) the Book of Boba Fett wave! These are fantastic as well. I heard you can get these at Gamestop but I have yet to see them there. I tell ya, Ollie's took me back to the good days with their full stock of Retro figures this holiday season!! It looked amazing on an end cap. I ended up getting a couple extra even though I already had the Mandalorian wave. After you all update on the two sets above, let me know your thoughts on the new TPM set. It's exclusive to Target and supposedly going to be on the shelves. I'll be keeping an eye or two out.
@whostheBossk I'll admit, I'm not a fan of the Retro Collection, but that set from The Phantom Menace has me tempted...!!
In the famous words by the Chancellor Palpatine..."do it"!! They do look great. And wait to we see the cardbacks oh man. March 19th I think is the release day.
Looks like we are getting AOTC/ROTS in one wave too down the line. Anakin Skywalker (ROTS) Clone Trooper Phase 2 (ROTS) General Grievous Mace Windu (ROTS) Padmé Amidala (AOTC) Jango Fett
I look forward to these! The Prequel figures all have some that resemble a retro look already but there's something about the actual retro wave with the nostalgic cardback, weapons, accessories and figures that look and feel like the originals that give them their uniqueness. As for that TPM Targer exclusive wave ...I had an employee grab it from the back! It's an awesome set. Look forward to the others when they release. Maybe The Acolyte will get some next?
It was a nice suprise to hit three Meijers today. First one had both the Ahsoka and TBOBF waves!! I grabbed the Sandperson and a C1-10p. This is the first time finding the whole Ahsoka wave in stores. And the second time finding TBOBF wave. All great figures. The day also included a stop at Ollie's for more Retro goodness. They have boxes of Bo Katan, The Armorer and Ahsoka if you need any.
Finally got my Retro AOTC/ROTS 6-pack. What an assortment! General Grievous and Jango Fett are major highlights. Padme is a much better “action”-oriented figure than her TPM counterpart earlier this year. The Clone Trooper compliments the original 70s stormtrooper. And Mace Windu is a great addition with a purple saber. The Anakin face sculpt is a bit odd-looking but overall it’s a great figure. Overall, this was an awesome idea to release prequel characters like this. I hope they do another pack for Episodes II/III Obi-Wan, Dooku, Episode II Anakin, Droideka, Geonosian, Darth Sidious and Yoda someday
I agree, hope we see more of Ep II/IIi as combining them in just one pack is ridiculous. Great looking retros! And now we have news of a new six pack soon to be released (I'm assuming it's going to be sold as one pack)!!!! Rebel Fleet trooper! Ham Solo I'm Stormtrooper disguise! Sandrrooper!! Luke Yavin Ceremony!! Walrus Man!! Dr. Evazan!!!
