In reply to SID. That would be a very tight fit to put these 6-inch figures on the standard 5poa packaging.

In reply to CT-7567. I was asking myself the same question. It looks like it only holds 4 figures. Yesterday I was thinking how much of a letdown that was. However, today I have seen images from the show that have all 12 displayed on it, so they do fit.

I’m excited to get an R2-D2 6 inch figure and not have to shell out 100 bucks!

In reply to Jayson Krebsbach. Is that stand supposed to hold all twelve figures? It looks too small. I must admit Vader looks great as do the other new figures. I wonder if they gave the Stormtrooper the little black collar that 6" Stormtrooper Han got to cover the neck post? Any idea about that? It's a great figure but that post makes it look like a mini set of stormtrooper armor on a mannequin.

so much for the oft-teased return of the Vintage Collection.

While neat to finally get that new Vader sculpt (right From last year’s toy fair?) and jawa, death star commander (I see him as very popular when he comes out) with a re-release of the small scaled r2… That I even passed new in box at a good will months after at a goodwill for like $7-8-9 bucks (regret that for resale… But the figure is still under
-scale for my tastes)…
but over all this feels like a giant pass of gas in my mouth. Why are they on cards? Why are these not just 5poa standard packaging? Sooo many fails. Its too many words

In reply to Bombadgungan. I'm in the same boat. I passed on many of the first 6" TBS figures due to having so many of each figure in 3.75" scale, but the Vintage treatment these is undeniable and I'll need them all. FML

Originally I said I would pass on all of these except the first time releases (Jawa, Sand People, Death Squad Commander) and the ones I have missed (Vader) or not yet found (Leia, Obi-Wan), but now that I see these in their packaging I can’t help but be drawn to “collect them all”. That Luke looks great on the vintage card, not to mention all the others!

For living on a budget and cherry picking the 6″ series, I am super happy to see waiting for most of these has paid off. Neater vintage style packaging will look great on display. Sure it’s not what they offered for the 30th anniversary, and I do prefer 3 3/4″, but this is still really really cool. Lots and lots of releases, the majority of which I missed out on or waited for, so I’m excited. Will be a good and probably expensive year!

What a pathetic 40th anniversary commemoration. Nothing against the 6 inch Black series, they look great, but what about the 3 3/4 inch figures and vehicles? What a way to celebrate the 40th anniversary Hasbro. Since there were plenty of figures from the Empire Strikes Back released in the 6 inch scale, we already know what will be offered for that movies 40th anniversary.
