Star Wars 2023 Retro Collection Pipeline Reveals

This is a running list of Star Wars Retro Collection pipeline reveals were teased at conventions and Fanstreams!

Adding to the list of pipeline reveals for the Star Wars Retro Collection, the Star Wars team announced more figures coming to the line. This time, from The Book of Boba Fett, here were a total of 8 figures so let’s take a look at who’s coming down the road in the near future.

The Book of Boba Fett

In a new sub-line for the Retro Collection, 8 figures were teased, which include Boba Fett (Nomad), Tusken Raider, Fennec Shand, Krrsantan, Cad Bane, Jedi Luke Skywalker, Grogu (with backpack), and The Mandalorian, who made a cameo in the series.

Boba Fett (Nomad)

During the Book of Boba Fett, Fett gets adopted by a tribe of Tusken Raiders, where you can see his nomad clothing in the scene. Following a time in the company of a Tusken tribe, Fett eventually regained his armor by tracking down and confronting the Mandalorian warrior Din Djarin on Tython, who took Fett’s armor from Vanth.

Here is a concept of what this figure could like, which is also available for purchase on Etsy by seller TrashCompator326382.

Tusken Raider

While the Tuskens were nominally hostile towards outsiders, a tribe accepted bounty hunter Boba Fett into their ranks when he had proved himself. The outfits for these particular Tusken Raiders were significantly different than how they were portrayed in Star Wars a New Hope, albeit this is a different tribe and a different point in time.

The Retro Collection is including soft goods with their figures it would be amazing to see a Book of Boba Fett style Tusken Raider like the custom pictured below.

Fennec Shand

An assassin and elite mercenary, Fennec Shand has worked for all the top syndicates. Clever, capable, and cunning, she is not to be underestimated and is full of surprises.

Krrsantan

A former gladiator turned deadly bounty hunter, Krrsantan is a towering black-furred Wookiee. During the Empire’s rule, he made a name for himself in the criminal underworld with his intimidating presence and unstoppable raw strength.

The closest we could come to imagining what this figure could look is drawing inspiration from the customizing community!

Cad Bane

Cad Bane appeared in the Dinsey+ series, The Book of Boba Fett. Bane once reflected to himself that the young Boba Fett sometimes reminded him of his younger self,[18] but their relationship eventually soured. As his age passed, Bane remained bitter and ruthless, killing any who stood in his way. He tried to strike down his former ward Boba Fett, without mercy or discrimination. Bane looked at Fett with contempt for what happened between them, determined to kill him even if he played dirty.

The Black Series

Introduced to the Black Series in 2020, Cad Bane was part of the Clone Wars line so it is great to see him released as part of The Book of Boba Fett Vintage Collection. He is described as a ruthless bounty hunter from the planet Duro, Cad Bane was the preeminent blaster-for-hire in the galaxy during the Clone Wars. No quarry was too dangerous for Bane, if the price was right

Hot Toys

Hot Toys created a version of Cad Bane from the Book of Boba Fett series so it is cool to see what the figure might look like as part of the Vintage Collection! Following his first live-action appearance in The Book of Boba Fett, Sideshow and Hot Toys are excited to present the deadly mercenary in the Cad Bane (Deluxe Version) Sixth Scale Figure! This Star Wars collectible figure features a newly developed head sculpt with amazing likeness, skillfully tailored hat and outfit, wired long coat, a pair of blaster pistols, a flamethrower effect, and a display base. This Deluxe Version of the Cad Bane figure exclusively includes a pair of rocket thrusters for Cad Bane’s boots, and the bounty hunter’s techno-service droid Todo 360™ as seen in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars™ animated series.

Jedi Luke Skywalker

Luke Skywalker was a Tatooine farmboy who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the greatest Jedi the galaxy has ever known. Along with his friends Princess Leia and Han Solo, Luke battled the evil Empire, discovered the truth of his parentage, and ended the tyranny of the Sith. A generation later, the location of the famed Jedi master was one of the galaxy’s greatest mysteries. Haunted by Ben Solo’s fall to evil and convinced the Jedi had to end, Luke sought exile on a distant world, ignoring the galaxy’s pleas for help. But his solitude would be interrupted – and Luke Skywalker had one final, momentous role to play in the struggle between good and evil. According to Wookiepedia, in the Mandalorian, “Skywalker tracked Grogu to a light cruiser that Djarin and his allies had boarded in their own efforts to rescue him. Skywalker boarded the vessel with R2-D2 and defeated a platoon of third-generation dark troopers that had trapped Grogu and Djarin’s team on the ship’s bridge. Afterwards, Skywalker offered his hand to Grogu, and, noting the child’s strong attachment to Djarin, told Djarin that he would take care of him if Djarin allowed it. Djarin relinquished Grogu to Skywalker to be trained in the ways of the Force and Skywalker left the ship with the child.”

Grogu

A mysterious child pursued by bounty hunters on behalf of Imperial interests, the foundling Grogu found protection with the Mandalorian Din Djarin. Through their adventures and journeys through the galaxy, young Grogu is honing remarkable abilities.

We can get inspiration for that this figure could look like by taking a step back into history with how Bespin Luke and Yoda paired together.

The Mandalorian

The Mandalorian, known to a few as Din Djarin, is a battle-worn bounty hunter, making his way through a dangerous galaxy in an uncertain age.

We’ve gotten two versions of The Mandalorian in the Retro Collection already so it would be amazing to see a retro figure with a removeable helmet that show’s the face of Din Djarin. Here is a concept of what this figure could like, which is also available for purchase on Etsy by seller TrashCompator326382.
