A touch of nostalgia for the origins of the greatest science-fiction saga finds its way into collectors’ collections with this superb 6-pack of figures from Hasbro’s Retro Collection range. Designed as a true tribute to the toys that have left their mark on generations of fans, this premium 10 cm scale set brings together six essential target figures and droids from Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope in an irresistible vintage format.
Each figure stands out for its deliberately retro design, faithfully reproducing the minimalist sculpting, classic 5-point articulation and paint finishes of the original models released by Kenner in the 1970s and 1980s. To complete the collecting experience, the figures are individually presented in cardboard blister packs with a deliberately aged and weathered look, all grouped together in a sealed original box. Complete with its vintage weapons and accessories, this multipack is an essential centrepiece to complete any collector’s galaxy.

Character background and lore
In the timeless cinematic universe created by George Lucas, Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (released in 1977) lays the foundations for a legendary galactic conflict in which every individual’s destiny weighs on the fate of the Rebel Alliance. This multipack celebrates the legacy of this legendary first instalment through six key supporting characters central to the unfolding of the story:
- Princess Leia Organa (Yavin): Immortalised in her stunning white ceremonial gown during the medal ceremony following the destruction of the Death Star.
- Wedge Antilles: The accomplished pilot of the legendary Red Squadron, one of the few survivors of the terrible Battle of Yavin aboard his X-wing fighter.
- Captain Antilles: The courageous commander of the consular vessel Tantive IV, whose unwavering loyalty to the Rebellion will be tested to the very end in the face of Darth Vader.
- Garindan: The Kubaz spy with a long black nose and dark glasses who betrays Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s position to the Stormtroopers in the backstreets of Mos Eisley.
- R4-M9 & CZ-3: Two iconic droids of the galactic landscape, the former being an Imperial astromech droid tasked with data processing, and the latter a humanoid communication droid encountered in the slums of Tatooine.
