In addition to new board games and lightsabers, the company announced it will release the original 12 action figures from the popular 1977 film in the highly articulated six-inch format, on vintage-style cardbacks, starting in April.
And if that weren't enough, collectors will be able to purchase a retro-style display stand that can hold all 12 figures, just like the one released back in 1978.
The original 12 figures (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Obi-Wan, R2, Threepio, Vader, Stormtrooper, Death Squad Commander, Sand People and Jawa) have always been the cornerstone of any self-respecting Star Wars collection. Hasbro re-released most in the smaller three 3/4-inch size on varying vintage cards from 2004 - 2011, but this will be the first time all will be made available on their original Star Wars cardbacks since the late '70s.
Re-living your childhood won't come cheap, though: figures will retail for $19.99 each. That's $240 for the complete set, not to mention tax and the added cost of the display stand. Better start praying for a deep-pocketed Jedi looking for a ride to Alderaan.
