The Vintage Collection was Hasbro's action figure line, running from 2010 to 2013. It consisted of 115 basic figures, including characters from the Prequel Trilogy, Original Trilogy and from the Expanded Universe. The Vintage Collection's cardbacks were styled like the original cardbacks from Kenner's 1977 - 1985 Star Wars figures. In 2013, the Vintage Collection was officially put on hiatus, and it was followed by the Black Series. However, some exclusive vehicles, like the Slave I, were still released in Vintage Collection packaging.
History
Initial waves
In 2010, the first wave of The Vintage Collection was released, consisting of 11 characters of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The cardbacks featured images of the original action figure releases - e.g. the Dengar figure's cardback showed an image of the carded The Empire Strikes Back Dengar from 1980.
First Prequel Trilogy waves
Obi-Wan Kenobi was among the first Prequel Trilogy figures of The Vintage Collection
The Vintage Collection's wave 2 consisted of characters from Episode III, marking the introduction of figures from the Prequel Trilogy to the action figure line. The cardback's still continued to Showcase the figure's original version, but for the Prewuel characters, cardbacks from the newer Kenner figures were shown.
Later waves
Wave 3 featured characters from Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, and wave 4 consisted of figures from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The fifth wave was the first mixed wave of The Vintage Collection, containing characters from Episode III and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Mixed waves continued with wave six of Vintage Collection Action figures. This wave included figures from Episodes II, III, V, and VI.
The first Expanded Universe figure
Wave 7 was also a mixed wave and consisted Episode II, IV, V, and VI figures. It also included the first Vintage Collection figure from the Expanded Universe, the ARC Trooper Commander (Captain Fordo). Captain Fordo first appeared in the 2003 released Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series.
