Hasbro unveiled four Vintage Collection offerings at this year’s NYCC and they were pretty good from a newness factor. Click on through to check them out.

VC57 Doctor Evazan


He doesn’t like you. The good Dr. Cornelius Evazan makes his way back to the Vintage Collection for 2025 – perfect for populating your cantina should you have missed him earlier in the TVC line. He comes with a blaster, a messed up face and a new cardback. But you just watch yourself, he’s up for preorder this Wednesday. 

VC349 Imperial Snowtrooper

Feeling Hoth Hoth Hoth! It’s been a long time coming but the Vintage Collection has finally gotten an all-new Snowtrooper for 2025. It includes the standard E-11 blaster and soft goods for maximum effective poseability. Imperial troops will enter your collections starting this Wednesday at 1pm ET.

VC310 Jod Na Nawood (Skeleton Crew)

Jod Na Na Na, Jod Na Na Na, hey hey good buy? Mystery surrounds this new character Jod Na Nawood from the upcoming Skeleton Crew series but at least we are getting a new figure from a new show for the Vintage Collection, right? Right?

Howler and VC352 Sabine Wren (Peridea)

Hasbro has been hitting out of the park with beasts lately and the latest example is the Howler with Sabine Wren (Peridea) for the Vintage Collection. The Howler is an all-new animal featuring multiple points of articulation and swappable legs for sitting like a good boy. Sabine gets revised with swappable helmet/head option to address the helmet sizing issue from the previous release, plus an entertainment-inspired* soft goods poncho all on an oversized cardback. Preorders open this Wednesday through various retailers for $39.99 

*yeah, I said it.
