Kenner Retro Collection - ROTJ Collectible 6-Pack
« on: July 18, 2023, 09:31 AM »
Images for a wave 2 of ROTJ figures coming in a box set have surfaced.

The 6 figures are Admiral Ackbar, Gamorrean Guard, Emperor's Royal Guard, Wicket, Yak Face (!) and Mon Mothma (!!)

Try as I might, I can’t get excited about this. 

The Mon Mothma thing is cool I suppose, but Stan Solo does vintage style better than Hasbro does, and the rest I already have.

I don't have a Kenner-style Yakface and I like the Mon Mothma, but I'll probably only pick this up if the price is right ($72 or less).

This is the way to do a 6 pack. A figure a lot of people don't have and a "new" vintage figure. I'll take something from Hasbro 10 out of 10 times over a custom made one.

I like how Mon Mothma had to have a blaster instead of a pointer.

At Pulse.  Shop Disney will be $96.

Empire never had a 6-pack wave1 re-release or a wave 2 (unless they're counting the amazon bounty hunters 2-packs). I suppose we should give it some time.

My idea for a never before seen vintage figure for ROTJ was a Darth Vader with removable helmet.  I do like the Mon Mothma!
This is the way.


I have spoken.

Dammit, I only want Mon Mothma. This is worse than having to buy a stupid board game!

Has there been any official confirmation about this pack?  I have only seen pictures coming from a UK on-line retailer so far.

I preordered two sets to get a Mon Mothma to open.  Hopefully I can unload the extras or that will be one expensive opener figure.

I’ll take the Royal Guard off you if you sell the rest of the figures individually.

I received an email from Hasbro this weekend saying these were delayed until November.  Seen quite a few people in the UK receiving the sets.

I got the same email as well. Must be stuck on a boat somewhere.
