The fact that these will be available at broad retail gives me *SOME* hope that this new incarnation of The Vintage Collection will be priced around the same point as the WalMart exclusive Black Series. And Hasbro's Marvel Universe figures are also priced at $12.99. It looks like Hasbro wants to do volume sales, and that's what helps keep prices down.
I think the big question will be about character selection. In order for the line to truly be healthy, I think it will need to focus on new/current movies and TV properties. No doubt, some OT and PT legacy characters will get worked in there. And I do hope that this gives us the opportunity to fill in those last gaps from the Kenner vintage line in modern forms. But I'm really eager to see how Hasbro will address SA versions of characters from the REBELS animated series, THE FORCE AWAKENS, ROGUE ONE, THE LAST JEDI and even the upcoming Han Solo standalone movie.
