And for the 6" collectors, io9 has exclusive images of Han, Lando (complete with exclusive 'raised eyebrow' action feature), Qi'Ra, and Imperial Rangetrooper.

Han's speeder has totally grown on me. Didn't quite get it when the behind-the-scenes photos were leaked (where it had pre-CG wheels). Definitely want it in action figure scale.

Right?! My opinions on this vehicle have gone through the very same evolution. Can't wait to get it in plastic!

Drooling over here. Best Toy Fair in years. 2018 is going to be expensive.

Amen to that, buddy.

Yakface has an excellent master list of all of the new products coming out on April 20th and beyond - now updated with the announcements from Toy Fair.

Am I alone in thinking it's a little cheeky for Hasbro to not be releasing a single-carded 3 3/4" figure Han for a Han Solo movie? There's a muddy Han in the two-pack, and three different exclusive Hans with the Force Link 2.0 bracelet, the Millennium Falcon, and Han's speeder - but that's it. I can see what they're trying to do, but it seems really rough on the kid who can't afford those larger sets, and just wants to get his/her hands on the titular hero. There is of course the SA Vintage Collection Han, but it looks like that won't be in stores until well after the movie's release.

I love this upcoming figure! The figure itself is not so hot, but the card is beautiful!

That wave has started showing up in the US. Hopefully not too long of a wait for us.

Keep an eye on Yakface.com for the 'official' reveal, but it looks as though the Wave 2 assortment of Vintage Collection figures will include:
  • 1. Dr. Aphra (Marvel)
    2. Han Solo (Solo)
    3. Enfys Nest (Solo)
    4. Range Trooper (Solo)
    5. Combat Assault Tank Driver (Rogue One)
    6. Captain Cassian Andor (Rogue One) [Black Series repack - new to the Vintage card]
    7. Imperial Death Trooper (Rogue One) [Black Series repack - new to the Vintage card]
    8. Luke Skywalker – Jedi Master (The Force Awakens) [Black Series repack - new to the Vintage card]
Scuttlebutt has it that there'll be one of each figure per case, and that we'll start seeing them in stores around August.

On a slightly related note, remember when we used to run a Vintage Collection WTB list for the wider SWNZ community? I wonder if I should resurrect that thread...
