Latest Star Wars Retro Collection 6-Pack Packaging Reveal

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… Hasbro just gave us a fresh look at the next Star Wars Retro Collection 6-pack, and boy are we thrilled with what we’re seeing! Huge thanks to @actionfigureinsider for posting these images from the Hasbro livestream today. The big news here is the packaging, and this is a really cool update for anyone who collects the Retro Collection. Hasbro has removed the faux weathering from the card backs, giving them a much cleaner look that is so much closer to those classic Kenner cards we all grew up staring at on the pegs. I love how they also made the low-tack sticker smaller and more Kenner-like in proportion. Not only that, but the rear of the card backs now have those vintage style colorful cross sells of the other figures in the wave! And i believe these continue to use that thicker cardstock which gives the cards a much more premium look and feel! These are the kinds of details that matter to collectors, and it shows Hasbro is listening to the community feedback on this line. For those of us who have been collecting the Retro Collection since it launched, this feels like the line finally reaching its full potential in terms of presentation. The vintage card back styles is what drew so many of us to this line in the first place, and stripping away that artificial weathering just lets the classic aesthetic shine through. How amazing is that?! This set is NOW up for PREORDER and LIVE ON Target US and on fan channels everywhere else. Let’s take a look at the latest Star Wars Retro Collection 6-pack packaging reveal!

Star Wars Retro Collection 6 pack Official Images

Official Product Description: Ideal for new fans and long-time collectors alike, the STAR WARS RETRO COLLECTION features detailing and design calling back to the original 1970s and 1980s figures. Inspired by STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE, this RETRO COLLECTION 3.75-inch-scale multipack is ideal for play or display, complete with a nostalgic feel. The multipack includes Garindan, R4-M9, Captain Antilles, Princess Leia Organa (Yavin), Wedge Antilles, and CZ-3 figures. Features five points of articulation and comes with 7 accessories to add to each figure’s poseability. Each figure in this vintage toys assortment features a blister card with classic Kenner branding. Find other RETRO STAR WARS collectibles to reimagine iconic scenes — or create your own (each sold separately, subject to availability). 

The multipack’s front-of-box presentation nails that nostalgic Kenner feel, with the blue halftone gradient fading into the black display window where all six figures are lined up together in a clean row. A small graphic in the lower left corner shows the six mini cardback-style cards bundled with the set, adding a collectible bonus that fans of the vintage format will definitely appreciate.

The multipack box is shown at an angle that highlights both the front window and the black side panel, giving you a full sense of the box’s depth and shelf presence. I like how the blue halftone gradient wraps seamlessly around the corner into the solid black side, where the stacked white lettering and a small illustrated vignette of spacecraft in the lower corner keep the design from going completely minimal.

The packaging front goes all-in on the classic Kenner blue card design, with a halftone dot pattern filling the upper portion and the familiar white racing stripes cutting diagonally across the center. The lower window showcases the full six-figure lineup, with Garindan, R4-M9, Captain Antilles, Princess Leia Organa (Yavin), Wedge Antilles, and CZ-3 all lined up together, and a small callout in the corner confirms six individual cardback-style mini cards are included in the set.

The back of the multipack box uses a black field with a central display strip featuring six film stills from A New Hope, each one corresponding to a character in the set, flanking that classic silver Star Wars logo and vintage Ralph McQuarrie illustration. It’s cool to see how they pulled specific reference shots for each figure, from Wedge in his cockpit to Garindan lurking in Mos Eisley, giving the whole package a curated, film-archive quality that goes beyond a simple product shot grid.

Wedge Antilles gets his own carded look here, with the classic Kenner card back featuring a gorgeous film still of Denis Lawson in his X-wing cockpit, visor down, filling the right side of the blister area. His orange flight suit, white chest harness, and removable green-striped pilot helmet are all nestled into the yellowed blister tray alongside a teal blaster pistol, keeping the whole presentation perfectly in line with the vintage Kenner spirit.

Wedge Antilles gets his full out-of-packaging look here, and that bright orange flight suit with its white chest harness and gray life support box really pops in person. His dark brown hair and clean face sculpt keep things simple and Kenner-faithful, while the removable green-and-white striped pilot helmet and teal blaster pistol round out his gear nicely.

Wedge Antilles’ orange flight suit and green-striped helmet are given a clean, standalone promotional presentation here against the classic halftone backer, and that gray chest box with its tiny blue and silver control details is one of those subtle sculpted touches that rewards a closer look. The teal blaster pistol sits low against his thigh, and the contrast between his black gloves and boots against all that warm orange keeps the color blocking sharp and faithful to the original Kenner proportions.

Wedge Antilles’ removable pilot helmet gets a nice showcase here off his head, and that white dome with its green and orange-gold striped panels has a chunky, toyetic charm that feels perfectly at home in the retro format. The teal blaster pistol’s simplified barrel and grip catch your eye as a color accent against all that orange, and his gray chest harness straps frame the silver and blue life support box in a way that keeps the torso from reading as a single block of color.

Captain Antilles gets his own carded presentation here, with a film still of the Tantive IV officer in his white fleet trooper helmet filling the right side of the card, set against that signature light blue Kenner backer. His tan Rebel uniform features small blue rank insignia on the chest and brown boots that break up the otherwise monochromatic outfit, and the teal blaster pistol tucked beside him in the blister matches the same accessory style seen across the rest of this multipack.

Captain Antilles is shown here outside his packaging, and that tan Rebel uniform with its darker brown shoulder yoke and matching brown boots reads cleanly in the retro Kenner format. The small blue rank insignia on his chest and the white padded helmet with its dark visor strip are the two details that really anchor this figure to his Tantive IV appearance, and the teal blaster pistol beside him rounds out a tight, no-frills accessory loadout.

Captain Antilles gets a full promotional spotlight here against that soft blue halftone Kenner-style backer, and his white padded helmet with the dark crown strip really reads well isolated like this. The golden-yellow shoulder yoke and vest panel over the tan uniform create a warmer color split than you might expect from a Rebel fleet officer, and those brown boots have a nice, slightly glossy finish that separates them from the matte tones of the uniform fabric.

Captain Antilles’ teal blaster pistol has that same simplified, blocky Kenner sculpt seen across the rest of the multipack, and his white helmet’s padded ear covers frame a clean, neutral face sculpt with minimal but effective painted eyebrows and a small, focused expression. I noticed that the brown diagonal strap crossing from his shoulder to his waist adds a subtle bit of visual interest to the tan uniform that you don’t fully appreciate until seeing the figure isolated like this against the blue halftone backer.

Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) gets her own carded spotlight, with a beautiful film still of Carrie Fisher in her ceremonial gown and silver necklace filling the right half of the card against a soft green Kenner-style backer. Her white flowing gown and signature braided updo are captured in that simplified retro sculpt, and the green tinted blister tray pairs nicely with the card’s verdant color palette.

Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) is shown here outside her packaging, and that soft white cape drapes over her shoulders with a fabric-like mesh texture that adds a surprising amount of visual interest to the retro format. Her included medal accessory sits beside her in a tan plastic with a simple triangular loop design, a small but essential piece that ties this figure directly to the Yavin ceremony scene.

Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) gets a full standalone look here, and that mesh-textured white cape really does add a lot of dimension to what is otherwise a very clean, minimalist sculpt. The silver necklace detail at her collar and the matching silver belt buckle and boot accents provide just enough metallic contrast against all that white, and her dark brown updo has a nice, compact shape that stays true to the Kenner proportions.

Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) carries her tan medal accessory here, and you can see how the simple looped cord design evokes the ceremony moment without overcomplicating the retro sculpt. Her silver boot tips peek out from beneath the flowing white gown, and the cape’s mesh weave sits naturally across her shoulders with a slightly translucent quality that lets the white bodysuit read through underneath.

Garindan’s individual card presentation pairs his cloaked, snout-heavy silhouette against a rich red Kenner-style backer, with a moody film reference photo on the right showing the informant lurking in his heavy robes on the streets of Mos Eisley. The blister tray carries that same warm red tone, and you can see the white blaster rifle and a small cylindrical accessory tucked alongside him, keeping the pack-in count modest but period-appropriate for the retro format.

Garindan is wrapped in a heavy dark olive cloak with a coarse, woven texture that drapes over his entire frame, nearly swallowing the gray tunic and black gloves underneath. His elongated snout and those small, glossy pinkish-purple goggles are dead-on for the Kenner vintage aesthetic, and the white blaster rifle he’s carrying has that classic simplified sculpt that feels right at home with the retro format.

Garindan’s cloaked figure is presented here against the red backer card alongside his two accessories, the white blaster rifle and a smaller cylindrical comlink, both flanking him in the packaging window. The woven texture of that olive cloak really pops against the clean red field, and his pinkish-purple goggle lenses and tan snout sculpt carry all the personality of the original Kenner figure in a tight, streamlined package.

Garindan’s coarse olive cloak takes on a heavier, more textured look from this straight-on angle, with the fabric draping past his knees and nearly engulfing his black-gloved hands and dark boots beneath the hem. The white blaster rifle tucked at his side has that characteristic chunky, pared-down Kenner sculpt, and the way his tan snout juts forward from the shadowed hood gives the whole figure a wonderfully sinister profile.

R4-M9’s individual card presentation pairs the little droid’s white and olive-green deco against a Kenner-style backer, with a reference photo on the right showing the astromech’s distinctive cone-shaped dome and dark green paneling in all its film-accurate glory. I like how the warm yellow tint of the blister tray gives the white plastic body an almost aged, vintage toy store feel that complements the throwback card design perfectly.

R5-D4’s white and gold-olive deco gives him a distinctly different feel from the more familiar R2-D2 color scheme, with those fine-lined panel details printed across the barrel body in a way that nails the simplified Kenner approach. The black photoreceptor dot on the dome and the olive-gold stripes running down the head into the body tie the whole design together, and I like that they kept the chunky, squared-off leg sculpt faithful to the original vintage mold.

Here’s a closer look at R5-D4 from the back, where you can see how the olive-gold shoulder stripe continues around the dome and down the rear panel in a clean vertical band. The third leg tucked between those chunky feet keeps the vintage silhouette intact, and the small rectangular vent detail sculpted into the lower back of the barrel adds a nice little break to an otherwise smooth surface.

R5-D4’s promotional packaging shot gives him his own golden yellow Kenner-style backer card, with the halftone dot pattern filling the upper half and a silver chrome border framing the entire presentation. His white sensorscope accessory sits beside him in the blister, and the warm gold tones of the card really complement the olive-gold deco on his dome and body panels.

CZ-3’s individual card features a warm orange Kenner-style backer with a film reference photo showing the droid’s heavily segmented metallic plating and insectoid face in full detail against a Tatooine backdrop. The figure itself is cast in a creamy off-white plastic that keeps the simplified five-points-of-articulation sculpt clean and faithful, with subtle strap-like lines crossing the torso and those distinct almond-shaped eye sockets giving the head a slightly eerie, alien quality.

CZ-3’s all-white prototype sculpt reveals every segmented body panel and ribbed joint detail without any color to distract, and those almond-shaped eye sockets look even more pronounced in this monochrome treatment. The sculpt on the torso shows crisscrossing strap details and a slightly tapered waist that gives the droid a surprisingly lanky, insectoid proportionality you don’t always associate with Star Wars droids.

R5-D4 gets a full promotional showcase here in that clean all-white prototype form, with the sculpted panel lines, dome vents, and segmented leg details all reading clearly without any deco to compete with. You can see how the harness-like strap detailing across the barrel and the recessed circular port on the chest carry over from the vintage Kenner tooling, and the silver-gray accent lines tracing the chest harness add just enough contrast to keep the monochrome look from feeling flat.

May 29, 2026 Update: Retro Raw for the Stickerless Generation

Mr.Stevie18 delights us with a look at the new Retro 6 pack with their low tack “retro’ stickers removed for a look at the card backs in their full minty glory! This gives us a nostalgic look at what Kenner Cardbacks used to be like! This really excites me for the future of the line! Here’s a closer look at all six cards from the front, and each one nails that vintage Kenner presentation. The card art behind each bubble uses film stills and reference photography that pair perfectly with the figures, from Wedge’s cockpit shot to CZ-3’s Mos Eisley street scene to the great candid image of Carrie Fisher smiling behind Leia’s bubble.

The Wedge Antilles card uses a fantastic cockpit close-up of Denis Lawson as the backing image, his visor down and helmet framing his face in shadow. His pilot helmet sits beside him in the bubble, its green and white striping a nice contrast against the orange flight suit.

The Captain Antilles card features a great still of the character mid-communication, his white helmet and tan Rebel officer jacket filling the right side of the card. A small black blaster is tucked beside the figure in the bubble, and the blue-white insignia patches on the chest are a nice touch at this scale.

The CZ-3 card really leans into that Mos Eisley atmosphere, with the full droid reference photo showing all those layered chest panels and segmented limbs in gorgeous detail. The figure itself is cast in an unpainted white, and you can see how the sculpted harness straps and recessed eye sockets carry a surprising amount of character for a completely raw piece.

The Garindan card pairs the figure with a moody film still of the hooded informant, his long snout and dark goggles almost disappearing into the folds of that heavy black cloak. I like how the silver comlink accessory tucked beside him in the bubble catches your attention against the red insert, a fun little callback to one of Mos Eisley’s most memorable snitches.

The R4-M9 card backs the figure with a large reference photo showing the droid’s olive and gray paneling in gorgeous detail, all those vents and recessed ports giving the conical dome real depth. I think it’s cool that even without stickers, the figure’s molded body captures the segmented barrel shape and third leg tucked into the bubble, keeping that classic Kenner astromech charm intact.

Princess Leia Organa’s Yavin card really shines on its own here, with that warm candid photo of Carrie Fisher filling the right half, her braided updo and silver ceremonial necklace complementing the figure’s sculpted gown beautifully. Something I appreciate here is the way the figure’s flowing white cape drapes over both shoulders, and you can just make out the medal accessory tucked above her in the bubble, a perfect little nod to that Yavin ceremony moment.

The card back features six cross-sell portraits, each framed in a bold color block: Captain Antilles against orange, Princess Leia Organa (Yavin) against green, R4-M9 against purple, CZ-3 against yellow, Garindan against blue, and Wedge Antilles against red. It’s a great throwback to the classic Kenner packaging style, with that familiar grid layout and the colorful photographic squares giving each figure its own little spotlight.

May 1, 2026:

Here’s a look at the full lineup for this upcoming six-pack, and what a spread it is. You’ve got R4-M9, Wedge Antilles, C-Z3, Captain Antilles, Garindan and Princess Leia Organa in her flowing white ceremonial gown with a matching cape.

The box itself leans into that classic Kenner aesthetic with a black border framing the front window, and the figures are lined up against a soft purple backdrop that feels pulled straight from a late-’70s toy aisle. I like how the top of the box features dark, moody scene imagery that wraps across the lid, giving the whole package a vintage multi-pack vibe that collectors who grew up with the originals will immediately recognize.

Here’s a closer look at the individual carded packaging for Wedge Antilles, Captain Antilles, C-Z3, and Princess Leia Organa, and the first thing I noticed right away is how clean these cardbacks look now that the faux weathering has been removed. The cards have a crisp, sharp feel that much more closely mirrors the look of original vintage Kenner cards, and the smaller, more period-accurate sticker placement on each bubble really sells that classic retail presentation.

Here’s the other half of the individual carded lineup, Garindan, R4-M9, CZ-3 and Princess Leia in Yavin Ceremony in her ceremonial look. Each card features unique vintage-style artwork behind the bubble, and you can really appreciate how much cleaner and more authentic these cards feel without the old faux weathering treatment muddying up the presentation.

Another huge change on the card backs as we mentioned above, the rear of the card backs now have those vintage style colorful cross sells of the other figures in the wave! You can see how the card backs continue that refreshed vintage look, with the figure photo grids and color-blocked sections sitting cleanly on the crisp white backing without any artificial aging. The cards are flipped here to show the rear layout, and the overall presentation really nails that original Kenner feel, right down to the proportions and spacing of the printed elements.

Here’s a closer look at the carded packaging for Captain Antilles and CZ-3. The card art on both is wonderfully faithful to the original Kenner style, with painted character portraits that have that warm, slightly soft quality you’d expect from a vintage release, and the smaller low-tack sticker sits perfectly proportioned against the bubble.

Here’s a closer look at CZ-3’s individual carded packaging, and the card artwork behind the bubble is a real treat, showing the protocol droid in a sepia-toned scene straight from the movie!. The figure itself sits in a clear bubble against that clean, unweathered card, and the warm gold tones of the artwork pair nicely with the white and off-white of the prototype-style figure molded inside.

February 14, 2026 Update: Captain Antilles & Wedge Antilles Figure Reveals

Wedge Antilles

Wedge was a another never before released figure for the original Kenner line. His body is based on the X Wing Luke figure with some nice new updates.

Captain Antilles

Captain Antilles is the final figure of the 6 pack that is yet a another never before released figure for the original Kenner line. He is dressed in his classic tan outfit with some cool accents and his military badge on his right chest. He has a similar helmet like the Rebel FleeT Trooper figure.

Garindan NYCC 2025 Reveal

Revealed as part of the Star Wars Retro Collection Original Trilogy lineup, Garindan joins the 3.75-inch vintage-inspired figure series! Styled after his classic Kenner look, the figure features his distinctive snout mask, long black cloak, and communicator in hand. The yellow backdrop display showcased him among the “48 to collect” from the Original Trilogy, completing that nostalgic late-70s aesthetic that collectors love to see return.

Garindan, or the Long Snout Spy and CZ-3, Sand Crawler droid are two cool characters from the original Star Wars A New Hope movie. Garindan, or the Long Snout Spy as some people like to call him, was featured in Star Wars a new hope, spying on Luke and Obi Wan as they try to hire Han Solo to pilot them to Alderann. Garindan reports to a Storm Trooper outside the Cantina and allows them to be followed to Han Solo’s hangar, where the Millenium Falcon awaits them.

CZ-3 was the defunct droid that was laying around in the Jawa’s Sand Crawler, then he can be seen wandering the streets of Mos Eisley.

Right now all we have are these two images above. If you collect vintage or retro Star Wars, then you must have heard about Stan Solo , the amazing Star Wars Retro customizer producing Kenner style action figures!

Stan Solo did an amazing job creating the long snout spy! He looks like he stepped right out of 1977!
