Hasbro launched a new toy line featuring characters from the beloved original trilogy, bringing Luke, Leia, and Han back to toy store shelves. This blast-from-the-past sparked a retro revolution in Star Wars merchandising. Building on the success of the throwback figurines, Hasbro introduced the widely popular Vintage Collection, featuring characters spanning all Star Wars films. The force of nostalgia awakened a new generation of fans eager to collect the iconic toys of their parents' childhoods. With one clever retro reboot, Hasbro opened the floodgates to a vintage Star Wars resurgence that continues to enthrall old and new fans alike.
