Star Wars Vintage Collection Figures Guide: VC21–VC40 Checklist

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Gamorrean Guard - VC21

Year Released	Scale	Articulation Points	No. of Accessories	List of Accessories
2010	3.75"	14 Joints	4	2 Different Axes, 1 Vibro Lance, 1 Removable Helmet

The Gamorrean Guard (VC21) is widely celebrated as one of the finest action figures ever produced in the 3.75-inch scale. Released in 2010 as part of The Vintage Collection, this figure perfectly captures the bulky, menacing look of Jabba the Hutt's palace sentries from Return of the Jedi. Despite its heavy frame, it features 14 points of "super-articulation," including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and ankles, allowing it to hold weapons in imposing combat stances.

The detail on this figure is exceptional, featuring a mix of materials like a soft-goods (fabric) skirt that adds a premium tactile feel. Hasbro provided a generous selection of three different weapons—two distinct axes and a vibro lance—along with a removable helmet. This variety makes it a favorite for army builders, as multiple guards can be displayed with different armaments to create a more realistic "Galaxy Era" palace diorama. The paint application, particularly the wet-look eyes and weathered skin tones, remains a benchmark for the line.

Collector’s Note: This figure is often cited as a "10 out of 10" by the collecting community. Because it includes three different weapons, you can army-build without the figures looking identical on the shelf. The soft-goods skirt is glued in place, so while it can be lifted, it is not intended for removal. It remains the definitive Gamorrean Guard for any serious Jabba’s Palace display.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Admiral Ackbar – VC22

Year Released	Scale	Articulation Points	No. of Accessories	List of Accessories
2010	3.75"	12 Joints	2	1 Command Baton, 1 Datapad

The Admiral Ackbar (VC22) action figure is a standout release from the 2010 The Vintage Collection, capturing the Mon Calamari leader as he appeared during the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jedi. This figure was a long-awaited upgrade for fans, featuring a high-detail sculpt that renders the character's crustacean-like features and command uniform with incredible precision. The paint application on the head is particularly noteworthy, with a multi-layered skin tone and mottled patterning that brings the character to life.

While the figure features 12 points of articulation—missing the ankle joints found on some other "super-articulated" figures of the era—it remains highly stable and capable of commanding poses. Included with the Admiral are a command baton and a datapad, both of which are held securely in his specifically sculpted hands. The jacket features a subtle color variation between the torso and the sleeves, a movie-accurate detail that demonstrates Hasbro's attention to detail for this release.

Collector’s Note: This figure is widely considered the definitive 3.75-inch Admiral Ackbar. Its superior sculpt and paint job made the older 1997 versions obsolete upon its release. Because of its popularity and iconic status, it has been re-released in later lines (including the 3.75" Black Series), but this original Vintage Collection carded version remains a centerpiece for many Original Trilogy collectors.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Luke Skywalker (Endor Capture) – VC23

Year Released	Scale	Articulation Points	No. of Accessories	List of Accessories
2011	3.75"	14 Joints	3	1 Green Lightsaber, 1 Lightsaber Hilt, 1 Pair of Handcuffs

The Luke Skywalker (Endor Capture) action figure, released in 2011 as VC23 in The Vintage Collection, depicts the young Jedi Knight in his iconic black tunic from Return of the Jedi. This figure captures the moment Luke surrenders to Imperial forces on Endor, featuring a clean and highly accurate sculpt that reflects his mature, calm demeanor before his final confrontation with Darth Vader and the Emperor.

Boasting 14 points of "super-articulation," including ball-jointed hips and a ball-jointed waist, the figure is incredibly poseable. The accessory package includes his signature green-bladed ignited lightsaber, an unlit lightsaber hilt, and a pair of handcuffs. While the handcuffs are a unique character-specific addition, collectors should note they do not close completely, leaving a small gap when placed around his wrists. The figure lacks a Jedi cloak but stands perfectly on its own, making it a stellar addition for recreating the high-stakes drama of the film's final act.

Collector’s Note: This figure is often praised for its aesthetic brilliance and clean execution. Unlike some other Jedi Luke releases, this version focuses on the "Capture" scene specifically; the absence of a hole in the belt or a peg on the lightsaber hilt means you cannot hang the saber from his waist. Despite the minor gap in the handcuffs, the overall sculpt and poseability make it the go-to choice for Endor-themed displays.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Wooof – VC24

Year Released	Scale	Articulation Points	No. of Accessories	List of Accessories
2010	3.75"	14 Joints	4	1 Helmet, 1 Blaster, 1 Electro-Staff, 1 Bandolier

The Wooof (VC24) action figure, released in 2010 as part of The Vintage Collection, is a highly detailed representation of the Nikto guard (frequently referred to as Klaatu) seen in Jabba’s Palace and on the Sail Barge in Return of the Jedi. This figure is widely appreciated for its intricate sculpt and movie-accurate appearance, particularly the detailed head sculpt and the inclusion of a non-removable soft-goods skirt that adds a premium feel to the character.

Wooof is "super-articulated" with 14 points of movement, allowing for a variety of guard poses. The figure comes equipped with a comprehensive set of accessories: a removable helmet, an electro-staff, a bandolier, and a blaster that can be held in the hand or stowed in its holster. A highlight of the engineering is the right hand, which features a trigger finger that aligns perfectly with the blaster’s trigger guard. The paint applications are clean, featuring subtle weathering on the pants to reflect the gritty environment of Tatooine.

Collector’s Note: This figure is an essential addition for fans looking to populate a Jabba’s Palace or Sail Barge diorama. Its superior articulation and accessory count make it the definitive version of the character. While the helmet sits slightly loose, the overall stability and ability to holster the blaster make it one of the standout alien releases from the 2010 ROTJ wave.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – R2‑D2 (Pop‑Up Lightsaber) – VC25

Year Released	Scale	Articulation Points	No. of Accessories	List of Accessories
2010	3.75"	7 Joints	11	Serving Tray, 7 Glasses, Drink Dispenser Arm, Sensorscope, Lightsaber Hilt

The R2-D2 (VC25), often affectionately called "Bar2-D2," is a highly specialized release from the 2010 The Vintage Collection. This figure captures Artoo as he appeared on Jabba’s Sail Barge in Return of the Jedi, serving drinks to the Hutt's guests. It is widely considered one of the most accessory-rich astromech figures ever produced, featuring a full serving tray, seven individual glasses, a drink dispenser arm, a sensorscope, and Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber hilt.

The figure is engineered with several play features: a front panel opens to reveal a hidden manipulator arm, and the dome features a port for the lightsaber or sensorscope. Pushing these accessories into the dome automatically extends the middle leg, a clever mechanism that transitions the droid into its three-legged travel mode. The sculpt is slightly smaller and more movie-accurate in scale than previous versions, and the clean white and blue paint applications are exceptionally well-executed, making it a definitive version of the character for palace or barge displays.

Collector’s Note: This R2-D2 is a masterpiece of engineering for the 3.75-inch scale. The integration of the lightsaber launch feature and the retractable middle leg makes it highly interactive. Note that the seven glasses are very small and not attached to the tray, so they can be easily lost—collectors often use a tiny bit of clear adhesive to keep them in place for display. It is an absolute must-have for completing a Sail Barge scene.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Rebel Commando – VC26

VC26 Rebel Commando delivers one of the most versatile and display‑friendly trooper releases in the early years of The Vintage Collection, representing the Endor strike team from Return of the Jedi. Released in 2010, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and a highly detailed sculpt with layered soft‑goods elements, capturing the textured camouflage and gear seen during the Battle of Endor. VC26 includes multiple accessories—helmet, backpack and blaster—allowing collectors to vary their displays and build out a more diverse Rebel force. As with many early-wave TVC figures, distribution was inconsistent, making clean, unpunched examples increasingly desirable on the aftermarket. With strong army‑builder appeal, ROTJ display importance and its placement within the first 30 VC numbers, VC26 remains a key figure for completists and a foundational troop builder for any Endor diorama.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Wicket – VC27

VC27 Wicket delivers one of the most charming and essential Return of the Jedi releases in the early years of The Vintage Collection, capturing the beloved Ewok who first encounters Princess Leia on Endor. Released in 2010, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and an impressively detailed sculpt that far surpasses earlier 3.75‑inch versions. VC27 includes two hoods, a spear and a club, giving collectors multiple display options and making it one of the most versatile Ewok figures ever produced. Its expressive face sculpt and textured fur helped establish a new standard for small‑scale alien figures in TVC’s formative era. As with many early-wave releases, high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly desirable among collectors. With strong character appeal, Endor display importance and its placement within the first 30 VC numbers, VC27 remains a must‑have figure for completists and a standout piece in any ROTJ collection.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Wedge Antilles – VC28

VC28 Wedge Antilles is one of the most significant Rebel pilot releases in the early years of The Vintage Collection, finally giving the fan‑favourite starfighter ace a proper single‑carded debut. Released in 2011, this figure uses the excellent VTSC X‑Wing Luke body with a newly tooled Wedge head sculpt, delivering strong screen accuracy and premium detailing for Return of the Jedi displays. Collectors have long noted the clean helmet deco and sharp likeness, though the reused torso with a lightsaber‑hilt port is a small quirk inherited from the base sculpt. Despite that, VC28 quickly became a high‑demand figure due to Wedge’s enduring popularity and his surprising scarcity in earlier 3.75‑inch lines. As with many early TVC releases, high‑grade, unpunched examples are increasingly sought after on the aftermarket, especially given the character’s importance across all three Original Trilogy battles. With its strong Rebel Alliance appeal and its placement within the first 30 VC numbers, VC28 remains a cornerstone figure for completists and a must‑have for any X‑Wing or ROTJ display.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Kit Fisto – VC29

VC29 Kit Fisto stands out as one of the strongest Jedi releases in the early years of The Vintage Collection, capturing the fan‑favourite Nautolan Master with a level of sculpt detail that far surpassed previous 3.75‑inch versions. Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and a highly expressive head sculpt that reflects Kit Fisto’s distinctive look from Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. The textured robes, articulated design and vibrant green lightsaber make VC29 a centrepiece for any Jedi Council or Clone Wars‑era display. As with many early TVC figures, distribution was inconsistent, and high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly sought after by collectors. With enduring character appeal and its placement within the first 30 VC numbers, VC29 remains an essential figure for completists and one of the standout Jedi offerings in the Vintage Collection’s formative era.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Zam Wesell – VC30

VC30 Zam Wesell delivers one of the strongest bounty hunter sculpts in the early years of The Vintage Collection, capturing the Clawdite assassin from Attack of the Clones with impressive accuracy and display presence. Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and a highly detailed sculpt that faithfully recreates Zam’s layered armour, textured bodysuit and distinctive helmet. VC30 includes multiple accessories—blaster pistol, sniper rifle and interchangeable human/Clawdite head sculpts—making it one of the most versatile character figures in the early TVC lineup. Collectors praised the figure’s sharp paintwork and screen‑accurate gear, and as with many early-wave releases, high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly desirable on the aftermarket. With strong Prequel Trilogy appeal and its placement within the first 30 VC numbers, VC30 remains an essential figure for completists and one of the standout bounty hunters in the Vintage Collection’s formative era.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Obi‑Wan Kenobi (Attack of the Clones) – VC31

VC31 Obi‑Wan Kenobi (Attack of the Clones) delivers one of the most important Jedi updates in the early years of The Vintage Collection, capturing Obi‑Wan during his investigative mission on Kamino in Attack of the Clones. Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and a refined sculpt that reflects Obi‑Wan’s Episode II appearance, complete with his Jedi robes, lightsaber and communicator accessory. Collectors praised the figure’s likeness and overall presentation, though the articulation reflects the era’s limitations compared to later TVC upgrades. As with many early-wave releases, high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly desirable on the aftermarket, especially given Obi‑Wan’s central role in the Prequel Trilogy. With strong character appeal and its placement within the first 35 VC numbers, VC31 remains a key figure for completists and an essential addition to any AOTC or Jedi Council display.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Anakin Skywalker (Peasant Disguise) – VC32

VC32 Anakin Skywalker (Peasant Disguise) brings one of Attack of the Clones’ most distinctive early‑film looks into The Vintage Collection with a level of detail that far surpasses previous 3.75‑inch versions. Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and a sculpt that captures Anakin’s humble Mos Espa‑style attire from his journey to Tatooine with Padmé. The layered soft‑goods poncho, textured tunic and well‑sculpted accessories—including his lightsaber and electrobinoculars—give VC32 strong display versatility across AOTC and Tatooine setups. Collectors have long appreciated the figure’s unique outfit and character relevance, and like many early‑wave TVC releases, high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly desirable on the aftermarket. With its deep‑cut Prequel Trilogy appeal and placement within the first 35 VC numbers, VC32 remains an essential figure for completists and a standout representation of Anakin’s transitional journey in Episode II.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Padmé Amidala (Peasant Disguise) – VC33

VC33 Padmé Amidala (Peasant Disguise) delivers one of the most distinctive and display‑friendly Padmé figures in The Vintage Collection, capturing her humble Tatooine attire from Attack of the Clones. Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and a beautifully detailed sculpt that reflects Padmé’s softer, travel‑worn look during her journey with Anakin. The layered soft‑goods shawl, textured outfit and screen‑accurate accessories—including her blaster and travel bag—give VC33 strong versatility across AOTC and Tatooine displays. Collectors have long appreciated the figure’s expressive likeness and unique costume, which stands out among the more formal Padmé releases. As with many early‑wave TVC figures, high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly desirable on the aftermarket. With strong Prequel Trilogy appeal and its placement within the first 35 VC numbers, VC33 remains an essential figure for completists and a standout representation of Padmé’s character development in Episode II.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Jango Fett – VC34

VC34 Jango Fett stands as one of the strongest and most desirable bounty hunter releases in the early years of The Vintage Collection, capturing the iconic Mandalorian from Attack of the Clones with impressive sculpting and screen‑accurate detailing. Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and a highly refined sculpt that showcases Jango’s polished silver armour, dual WESTAR‑34 blasters and removable helmet. The figure’s jetpack, holsters and clean paint applications make it a standout display piece, while its articulation—strong for the era—allows for dynamic action poses. Collectors have long praised VC34 for its balance of accuracy and shelf presence, and like many early‑wave TVC releases, high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly sought after on the aftermarket. With enduring character appeal, Mandalorian significance and its placement within the first 35 VC numbers, VC34 remains a must‑have figure for completists and one of the defining bounty hunter releases of the Vintage Collection’s formative era.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Mace Windu – VC35

VC35 Mace Windu delivers one of the most important Jedi releases in the early phase of The Vintage Collection, capturing the legendary Master of the Jedi Order with a sculpt that reflects his Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith appearances. Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and a detailed head sculpt paired with Mace’s signature Jedi robes and iconic purple lightsaber.

Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and a refined sculpt that showcases the Guard’s flowing robes, ornate helmet and ceremonial force pike. The combination of soft‑goods and sculpted elements gives VC36 strong shelf presence, and its deep‑cut army‑builder appeal has made it a favourite among collectors building out Coruscant, Senate or Jedi Temple displays. As with many early‑wave TVC releases, high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly desirable on the aftermarket due to limited distribution. With its striking design, Prequel Trilogy significance and placement within the first 40 VC numbers, VC36 remains an essential figure for completists and one of the standout trooper releases of the Vintage Collection’s formative era.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Super Battle Droid – VC37

VC37 Super Battle Droid brings one of the most iconic Separatist infantry units into the early years of The Vintage Collection, offering collectors a clean, screen‑accurate representation of the heavy B2‑series droid seen throughout Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and a sculpt that captures the bulky armour plating, reinforced limbs and imposing silhouette that distinguish the Super Battle Droid from its B1 counterparts. While the articulation reflects the limitations of the era, the figure’s proportions, metallic finish and overall presence make it a strong army‑builder for Geonosis, Coruscant or Clone Wars‑era displays. As with many early‑wave TVC releases, high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly desirable on the aftermarket, especially given the character’s troop‑builder appeal.

Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and uses the then‑standard clone body, offering clean articulation and sharp armour sculpting for the era. The bright 212th orange markings, weathered detailing and screen‑accurate helmet deco make VC38 a favourite among army‑builders, particularly for Utapau and Order 66 displays. As with many early‑wave TVC figures, high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly desirable on the aftermarket due to limited distribution and strong troop‑builder demand.

Star Wars – Vintage Collection – Luke Skywalker (Death Star Escape) – VC39

Released in 2011, this figure features the classic Kenner‑inspired cardback and uses the then‑modern stormtrooper body with a newly tooled Luke head sculpt, delivering strong screen accuracy for the era. VC39 includes a removable helmet and E‑11 blaster, allowing collectors to display Luke either undercover or mid‑rescue alongside Han and Chewbacca. While the proportions reflect the limitations of the older stormtrooper mold, the figure remains a favourite due to its character importance and ANH display versatility.

While the tooling reflects the era’s simpler astromech construction, collectors appreciate VC40 for its nostalgic value, strong OT display relevance and its faithful recreation of a character that helped set Luke Skywalker’s destiny in motion. As with many early‑wave TVC releases, high‑grade, unpunched examples have become increasingly desirable on the aftermarket. With its deep Original Trilogy roots and placement within the first 40 VC numbers, VC40 remains an essential figure for completists and a charming tribute to one of the saga’s most iconic “what‑if” droids.
