Prototype Chewbacca Star Wars Retro Figure Revealed by Hasbro

Published Wed, 06 Apr 2022 13:22:11 -0500

Hasbro continues to expand their hit Star Wars: The Retro Collection Prototype line. We have already received three figures in this line, with Darth Vader kicking this off, followed by Boba Fett and the Stormtrooper. During today's Hasbro Pulse Star Wars live stream event they debuted the fourth figure with Han Solo's faithfully co-pilot Chewbacca. Just like past figures, Chewbacca will come on a holographic card back and will most like feature 6 different variants. The classic Kenner mold is used for this figure with each body part and weapon coming in a different color allowing for collectors to own multiple if they wanted. I appreciate the Star Wars Retro Collection, and the Prototype designs are always fun to see.

Chewbacca will continue the sad trend of being a Target Exclusive, and pre-orders will go live tomorrow on April 7 at 1PM EST. I remember for Boba Fett they only allowed for 1 order per person so the hunt in-store will be real for him. He will be priced at $14.99, is set for Summer 2022 release, and fans will be able to hunt for him here tomorrow.
