The Best War Games can exclusively reveal a new Star Wars Vintage Collection Jetpack Trooper figure from Hasbro. Inspired by Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the upcoming collectible is slated to hit the store shelves in late 2024.
Hasbro has been making licensed Star Wars toys for over three decades, having initially started the endeavor after its 1991 acquisition of Kenner Products, which held the franchise's merch rights at the time. One of the many toy lines that the company created over the years is Star Wars: The Vintage Collection, which consists of detailed figures in retro packaging made to mimic the original Kenner Star Wars figurines from the late '70s and '80s.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's Sequel Could Make Great Use of One Elden Ring DLC Feature
Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC introduced a type of leveling system that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's successor could make great use of.
Yet another addition to this ever-growing lineup has now been announced in the form of Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Jetpack Trooper. The Best War Games can exclusively share the first look at the upcoming figurine, which is based on the design of the eponymous enemies from Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Identified by assortment number VC #334, the model is 3.75 inches tall and comes with two removable accessories: a blaster and a short-ranged booster pack.
Hasbro's Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Jetpack Trooper Overview
- Collector number: VC #334
- Size: 3.75 inches
- Removable accessories: a jetpack and blaster
- Release window: fall 2024
- Pre-orders: from July 27, at 5pm ET via Hasbro Pulse and select retailers
- Price: $16.99
The Jetpack Trooper's joints are articulated, allowing for a fairly wide variety of display configurations. Granted, not all collectors will necessarily want to remove the figure from its retro-looking packaging, which features a gold-tinted portrait of the Trooper. Hasbro still isn't ready to commit to a concrete release date for this newly unveiled Star Wars collectible, having merely said that the toy is planned to hit the market in fall 2024.
But the company is planning to open pre-orders much sooner than that, starting at 5pm ET on Saturday, July 27. Collectors will be able to place an advanced order on the Jetpack Trooper via Hasbro Pulse and the toy manufacturer's licensed distributors. The figure will retail for $16.99.
The company's recently released Star Wars: The Vintage Collection figures have predominantly been priced at $16.99. While those based on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor were often a bit more expensive, that was usually on account of them being larger than this newly unveiled 3.75-inch Jetpack Trooper. Hasbro recently revealed another Star Wars Jedi: Survivor collectible in the form of a three-pack comprising the IG-100 MagnaGuard, Super Battle Droid, and variant B1 Droid. That particular offering is scheduled for release on November 1 as part of the Star Wars: The Black Series line, priced at $69.99.
