It's A Trap! Hasbro Unveils New Star Wars Admiral Akbar ROTJ Figure 

Hasbro is not wasting any time and is already diving into the Star Wars: Return of the Jedi  40th Anniversary. Just like clockwork, this Star Wars landmark event will be filled with new and rerelease figures for both The Black Series and The Vintage Collection. We have really started to see more 6" card backed figures for the event arrive, and a new one has arrived with the return of Admiral Ackbar. This iconic Rebel General helped lead the fight for the Death Star II and gave fans the legendary line, "It's a Trap." 

Collectors can now bring Admiral Ackbar home in glorious 6" card back fashion for Return of the Jedi's 40th Anniversary. It does seem like this is a simple reissue of his previous Star Wars: The Black Series release. His articulations are great; his design is right off the screen, and he even comes with a blaster and space baton. These figures are easily just made for the card back, and there is something just nostalgic about owning them. Admiral Ackbar is set for a December 2022 release, he is priced at $27.99, and pre-orders are live right here.
