Affiliate links in post. See Disclosure Policy.
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 will be available at Target and fan channels starting June 5th, so mark those calendars! So let’s take a look at the latest Star Wars Retro Collection 6-pack packaging reveal!
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. The best part has got to be his removeable helmet with googles. Will they be made of a translucent plastic? Let’s hope so he can see out of them. He comes with the standard rebel blaster.
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. He comes with the standard Bespin blaster.

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.
According to CZ-3 | Wookieepedia | Fandom:
CZ-3 was a CZ-series secretary/business communications droid that was twinned with fellow CZ unit CZ-1 in service to members of the Stacchati species. After a crash in the deserts of Tatooine the two droids became separated and CZ-3 ended up in the spaceport of Mos Eisley. In 0 BBY, CZ-3 wandered through the spaceport’s streets past the local moisture farmer Luke Skywalker and the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi after the pair had sold an X-34 landspeeder to the merchant Wioslea

Stan Solo Custom Figure
Stan Solo has been making some amazing custom Kenner style for several years now. I was lucky enough to pick up a few and will cover them in this review.
Garindan – Long Snout Spy Stan Solo Figure
Pictured below is the Stan Solo version of Garindan on the custom card back that he created for the figure.
Stan Solo did an amazing job creating the long snout spy! He looks like he stepped right out of 1977! Complete with a black vinyl cape, he comes with a communicator just like that of the Cloud Car Pilot but in black plastic. His outfit is grey with a black belt, black gloves and black boots. Garidan sports his long snout, grey googles and black hood over his head. He looks very reminiscent of the Death Squad Commander but is a completely unique sculpt! They quality, look and feel of this figure is top notch and feels just like real vintage Kenner figures!
