Hasbro, a titan in the world of collectible toys, has once again thrilled Star Wars enthusiasts by unveiling a new figure in The Vintage Collection: the Jetpack Trooper. This figure, inspired by the adversaries in the upcoming “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor” video game, is set to bring excitement to collectors and fans alike when it hits shelves in late 2024.

A Legacy of Collectibles

For over thirty years, Hasbro has been at the forefront of creating Star Wars collectibles, continuing a legacy that began with its acquisition of Kenner Products in 1991. The Vintage Collection, renowned for its high-quality figures and nostalgic packaging reminiscent of the original Kenner Star Wars toys from the 1970s and ’80s, adds a new character to its prestigious lineup with the introduction of the Jetpack Trooper.

First Look at the Jetpack Trooper

The Jetpack Trooper, officially cataloged as VC #334 in The Vintage Collection, stands at 3.75 inches and features articulation across multiple joints, allowing for dynamic posing and display options. The figure comes equipped with two removable accessories: a detailed jetpack and a blaster, enhancing its appeal and playability.

Exclusive Details and Availability

Game Rant proudly presents an exclusive first look at this exciting new figure. Slated for a fall 2024 release, the Jetpack Trooper will be available for pre-order starting at 5 PM ET on July 27, via Hasbro Pulse and selected retailers. Priced at $16.99, this figure remains accessible to a broad audience of collectors, maintaining the price point typical of The Vintage Collection’s offerings.

Packaging and Presentation

True to the ethos of The Vintage Collection, the Jetpack Trooper will be packaged in retro-styled, gold-tinted boxing that features a striking portrait of the character. This packaging not only appeals to collectors who appreciate the aesthetic of the original Kenner releases but also serves as an attractive display piece for those who choose to keep their figures mint in box.

Beyond the Jetpack Trooper

The reveal of the Jetpack Trooper follows the recent announcement of another set from Hasbro’s Star Wars line, which includes figures from the Star Wars Jedi: Survivor universe. This three-pack, featuring the IG-100 MagnaGuard, Super Battle Droid, and a variant B1 Droid, underscores Hasbro’s commitment to enriching its Star Wars collections with diverse and appealing characters. Scheduled for release on November 1, this set is part of The Black Series line and is priced at $69.99.

Final Thoughts

As anticipation builds for the release of the Jetpack Trooper, both longtime collectors and new fans have much to look forward to. This figure represents a blend of tradition and modern innovation that has characterized Hasbro’s approach to its Star Wars collections, promising to be a highlight for many in 2024.
