During the Battle of Hoth in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Skywalker piloted a Snowspeeder, led the Rebel Alliance against the Empire’s ground forces, and instructed the other snowspeeder pilots to use their harpoons and cables to aim for the legs in an attempt to take down the massive Imperial AT-AT walkers in order to give the Rebels enough time to evacuate the snow planet. In celebrating the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Hot Toys is excited to introduce a series of collectibles based on this iconic film! Now, Hot Toys is delighted to officially present the 1/6th scale collectible figure of Luke Skywalker in his flight suit and helmet that he wore on Hoth, as the latest release of The Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary Collection! The highly-accurate Luke Skywalker collectible figure is expertly crafted based on his appearance in the movie, features a head sculpt with newly sculpted hair sculpture, finely tailored Snowspeeder outfit and life support unit on chest, a LED light-up lightsaber, an interchangeable lightsaber blade emulating the weapon in motion, a highly-detailed flight helmet, a grappling gun, a blaster, a thermal detonator, a snow-themed diorama set-up with a figure stand all in the specially designed retro style packaging!

The guys over at Yakface have done some digging and discovered news listings on the Walmart website indicating a 3rd wave of 6" Black Series figures featured on Vintage Kenner Empire Strikes Back cardbacks is in the works from Hasbro. Of course until Hasbro finally gets around to confirming this, we will treat this as rumor. The figures they found listed include the following: - Snowtrooper - Luke Skywalker (Dagobah) - We assume the same one coming in the recently announced 2-Pack with Yoda - Chewbacca - Boba Fett - Darth Vader So unlike wave 2 which saw new figures being released such as the Rebel Snowtrooper and Snowspeeder Outfit Luke (Those figures will see release in the regular Black Series as well), these all appear to be simple re-issues on the Kenner-like cardbacks. These are not listed as Walmart exclusives, so they should end up being released everywhere like the first two waves. Wave 1 and 2 are hitting shelves now. We will update this story as more details become available.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, an iconic film that has captivated audiences worldwide for decades with its story and characters.

So began the legendary status among the fandom surrounding the legendary bounty hunter who instantly became a favorite of many after witnessing him in the groundbreaking film! Hot Toys is celebrating Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 40th anniversary with a throwback visual approach for this exciting collection. To kick off this collection, we’re pleased to introduce the 1/6th scale Boba Fett (Vintage Color Version) Collectible Figure featuring vibrant colors inspired by classic interpretations and retro style packaging as a special extra only available in select markets!

In the midst of a fierce lightsaber duel with the Sith Lord, Luke faces the startling revelation that the evil Vader is in fact his father, Anakin Skywalker… In celebrating Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back 40th anniversary, Hot Toys is excited to introduce a series of throwback collectibles based on this iconic film! Today, Hot Toys is pleased to re-introduce the highly popular 1/6th scale Darth Vader Collectible Figure with a specially designed retro style packaging!

The ShopDisney Japan website has listed a new Star Wars Elite Series die-cast figure with the Empire Strikes Back Imperial Probe Droid. It is listed as being a limited release and looks to cost around $50 US. The Disney Elite Series has been on a bit of hiatus and the figures which are made with die-cast metal tend to be a bit taller than Hasbro's Black Series figures. They are also are only sold at Disney Stores. The legs do appear to be articulated and it comes with a display stand. The antenna's on the top look to be removable. No word yet on when or if this figure will be available in the US, but it looks like it may be a nice alternative to Hasbro's recently released version.

Every day you turn around there seems to be a new Hasbro Star Wars rumor popping up, and honestly it's pretty hard to keep up with them all. Here are a few I have done some digging into, and been able to confirm from a couple different trusted sources they are legit. While I feel pretty confident these are coming, we will treat these as rumors until Hasbro officially confirms them, which will likely be this weekend during Toy Fair. This first one really seems like an odd choice, but it looks like Hasbro is going to be releasing a 6" Black Series Snowspeeder vehicle for $100+. I know it's the 40th Anniversary of the Empire Strikes Back, but if they were going to do another large scale vehicle, I would have thought they would finally give us the X-Wing we were supposed to get several years ago. To me a Snowspeeder seems kind of pointless unless we had a 6" AT-AT to go with it. Who knows maybe that will be Hasbro's next big Haslab announcement???? Other Black Series rumors we are pretty confident about getting a second wave of Empire Strikes Back Vintage Carded figures that will include Luke Skywalker (Hoth), Lando (Bespin), Hoth Rebel Soldier, R2-D2, and TIE Pilot. Also look for carbonized versions of an Imperial Stormtrooper and Boba Fett which should be available at most online retailers that carry Black Series. For you Vintage Collection fans it looks like we will be getting another $150+ Slave-1 coming. This may just be a re-release or modified version of the one we got back in 2013 as a Amazon exclusive. Again, until Hasbro officially confirms these, treat these all as rumor.
