Click each image below for closer look at The Black Series 6″ Padme Amidala (Attack of the Clones) and The Vintage Collection Chewbacca. Both figures are scheduled to arrive sometime in the Spring of 2019.
UPDATE: Hasbro’s design director Steve Evans spoke brifly about these two new figures in an article posted on StarWars.com. His comments have been copied beneath each figure.
“Padmé is one of many figures that we will look to represent in 6-inch scale from the prequel trilogy, which over the years has seen a renewed swell of support and fandom,” Steve Evans, design director at Hasbro, exclusively tells StarWars.com. “We wanted to choose a heroic outfit for Padmé that exemplified her courage and her willingness to leave the trappings of royalty behind and get into the action. The intact Geonosian arena costume with scarf epitomized that to us — both elegant and fierce.”
“Chewbacca is an eternal favorite for both adult collectors and younger fans,” Evans says. “He will be presented on a Star Wars A New Hope Vintage Collection cardback for the first time and is a favored sculpt that we last saw in the 3.75-inch Black Series line in 2015. We are sure he is an offering that will make classic fans, as well as the newer collectors of the Vintage Collection, happy to see on that quintessential Star Wars cardback.”
