The Definitive Guide to Star Wars Vintage Rogue One Figures: Rebellion & Empire

In the "Galaxy Era" of 3.75-inch collecting, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story represents the pinnacle of The Vintage Collection (TVC). It’s a line that perfectly marries the nostalgia of the original 1970s Kenner aesthetic with the high-fidelity detail of 2026 manufacturing.

However, completing a Rogue One display is a tactical challenge. To get the full story, you have to hunt down vehicle exclusives, track down playset-only variants, and navigate the "Main Character Gaps" that still exist. This is your comprehensive roadmap to every essential figure.


The Rebellion: Heroes of the Battle of Scarif

The Rebel side of the Rogue One line features incredible articulation and the latest PhotoReal deco. However, several key members are "locked" behind specific sets.

Blue Squadron: The Merrick X-Wing

To build the flight deck of the Rebellion, you need the commander and his specialized support.

  • Antoc Merrick (VC204): A "Grail" figure for many. The General is strictly a vehicle-exclusive, available only in the Antoc Merrick’s X-Wing Fighter set. He has never been released on a single card.

  • R2-SHW (VC260): While his pilot is a vehicle exclusive, Merrick’s loyal astromech is available on a single card. This silver-domed droid is essential for Blue Squadron completists.

The Tantive IV "Hallway" Defence

  • Rebel Fleet Trooper (VC183): If you want the version on the Rogue One cardback, you must acquire the Tantive IV Corridor Playset. This figure features the definitive face sculpt and is designed for the "army building" needed to stand against the coming Sith.

The Core Rogue One Squad

  • Jyn Erso (VC119): The face of the Rebellion. Ensure you are getting the updated PhotoReal version for the best likeness of Felicity Jones.

  • Cassian Andor (VC130): Clad in his Eadu/Jedha parka, this figure captures the grit of the character's earlier missions.

  • K-2SO (VC170): A towering, spindly masterpiece that scales perfectly with the rest of the line.

  • Chirrut Îmwe (VC174): Features a soft-goods skirt and his trademark staff, allowing for the wide-stanced martial arts poses seen on screen.


The Empire: Occupation and Tactical Support

The Imperial side of the Rogue One line is where TVC truly shines, offering specialized armor for every environment from the streets of Jedha to the vacuum of space.

The "Occupier" Tank Crew

Accuracy is key here: the Driver and the Commander are distinct figures that require separate hunts.

  • Imperial Assault Tank Driver (VC126): The grunt of the TX-225 Tank. They feature the clean, white specialized armor.

  • Imperial Assault Tank Commander (VC148): A separate single-carded release. He features rank insignia on the chest and is meant to be perched in the tank hatch directing fire.

Death Star Tactical Support

  • Death Star Gunner (VC147): Often overlooked but vital for any Death Star diorama. This figure features a highly reflective, glossy helmet and incredible articulation, allowing him to operate the heavy laser batteries seen in the film's climax.

The Troopers

  • Shoretrooper (VC188): The iconic tan-armored "Coastal Defender." A staple for any Scarif beach scene.

  • Imperial Stormtrooper (VC140): The footsoldiers found in many other card variants. Card is stunning though.

  • Imperial Death Trooper (VC127): Taller and more menacing than standard troopers, these are the essential guards for Director Krennic.

The Definitive Darth Vader

  • Darth Vader (VC178): Known as the "Hallway Vader," this is the king of the collection. It features the "over-the-robes" chest armor look specific to Rogue One and is widely considered the best 3.75-inch Vader ever made.


The "Missing" Figures: The Gaps in the Galaxy

Despite the depth of the line, two primary members of the Rogue One team are still missing in the Vintage Collection as of 2026.

  1. Baze Malbus: The most requested figure in the line. We have Chirrut, but his partner Baze has never received a TVC card. Collectors are currently forced to use old 5-point-of-articulation versions that don't match the modern quality.

  2. Bodhi Rook: The team's pilot remains grounded. There is no 3.75-inch TVC Bodhi Rook, a glaring omission for those looking to complete the full squad.

  3. Saw Gerrera: While an Andor version exists, the armored, respirator-clad Saw from Rogue One is still high on collector wishlists.

The Verdict

The Rogue One Vintage Collection is a journey through some of Hasbro’s finest engineering. From the high-gloss finish of the Death Star Gunner to the terrifying presence of VC178 Vader, this set defines the "Galaxy Era."
