Solid points Tim 👍 Nice one for talking about Leia. I thought the same when I opened her recently (not uploaded thst video yet) but regarding price, I agree.... I'd they focus just on one line, it would defo potentially bring prices down! 👍👍👍 P.S that 5poa Leia is great I quite agree..... almost wished they'd transfered that new face over to the VC02 rerelease! Thorough vidro Tim! Cheers for backing up the positives of no more 5POA. Final argument for those saying we need a 'movie' line.... don't the TVC cards have a relevant 'movie/series' badge on them?.... answer is yes! 👍☺

I actually prefer 5POA for the 3.75" line, but I know I'm in the minority here. It's mainly because likeness and overall sculpting take precedence over articulation for me. Sometimes, all of that articulation can actually ruin what might have otherwise been a decent figure. I've owned both versions of Hoth Leia that you show here, except I had the original 2010 release of the Vintage Collection figure, and I have to say that the super-articulated one was fine, her head is a little too small and it's throwing her proportions off; but the 7POA Force-Link version is probably my favorite Leia figure that Hasbro has ever made.

They could of also put her on the Kenner card which are so much nicer than the movie line cards. But hey again its all about opinions and what we like.

Hey Bossk, I am very pleased to see your reaction to my video, as it gets the community talking. I don't shy away from my love of the 3.75 inch movie line as I do collect it in box and articulation is not an issue for me. As long as the characters from the films get an action figure I'm ok it. Take the Solo film. How many characters received a figure. Han, Enfys nest, Range trooper and Lando. In the 5 POA we got almost the whole cast except Drydon Vos plus muilti packs and playsets with pack in action figure. Vintage has beautiful figures but not a lot of characters which is a big let down. I'm just hoping for the future this changes. Great video my friend and all the best!

I'm mostly 6", but one thing I love about TVC is being able to see the entire figure, especially legs/feet, without having to open (as I generally do not open). That's one reason I really like the Archive series boxes - you get to see more of the figure without having to open the box (I think you made this exact point when first reviewing the Archive series). In an ideal world (for me at least), the boxes would have a 'rear' window so you could look at the figure from not just the front and side(s), but also from behind while still keeping it in the package.

Great video, I think that there is a few factors involved in the 5POA movie line being cancelled. Firstly it's mostly adults who are buying action figures nowadays. Star Wars traditionally being 3.75" means many collectors did not want to abandon this scale in favour of 6" and I think Hasbro's intention was to shoe horn collectors into this scale by cancelling The Vintage Collection. Then the sequel trilogy came along and despite a good start for TFA & R1 things took a tumble for TLJ and Solo with many of the major UK retailers choosing not to stock any of these lines - e.g Smyths and most major supermarkets. Distribution and lack of availability of newer figures further turned off many SW collectors as product could only be sourced from a host of new independent online retailers. I'm sure Hasbro recognises the value in the adult collector market hence their current major focus is now on new product from the Original Trilogy. I think younger kids given a choice would prefer the more stylized, toy like 5" figures over movie accurate so hopefully we will get a better balance going forward!

@@BossksBounty The Force Awakens Line was the beginning of the end as far as the Star Wars movie line was concerned, the figures were terrible, a real step backwards as far as 3.75" Star Wars action figures connected to a movie release. I don't know if it was Disney or Hasbro who were to blame but the Revenge Of the Sith line of 3.75" actions figures from 2005 were way better than The Force Awakens line. Hasbro had 10 years of experience and tooling since then in the bank yet they released a load of half arsed figures with only 5 poa!? Now after all the peg warming from The Last Jedi and Solo 'Force Link' figures they've canned the 'Movie' line for 3.75" completely and replaced it with a Disney Toybox friendly 5" line instead. I'm pretty sure they will find the 5" line will end up shelf warming but as long as we get more availability for the Vintage Collection then hopefully all is not lost.

Great video! I agree with you, I don't think losing the 5POA movie line is that big of a deal. But, it is a shame because some of those figures had some really good molds. Disney has failed to make an emotional connection with these new characters/movies with the kids today. It is sad that the movie line has failed. The new stylized 5 inch figures look horrible imo. I think this is another wrong move for Hasbro. My son Alex is 10, he is the only kid in his class at school that is a Star Wars fan. I showed him pics of the new 5in figures and he doesn't like them. If Disney really wants to make a classic Star Wars connection with kids today, they need to end this Galaxy of Adventures stuff and just re-release the OT in theaters. Sure you can watch these movies on a widescreen HDTV, but there is nothing like seeing them on a big Cinemascope movie screen. It worked 22 years ago with the SE Trilogy, and I think it would work again today. Back then it was the POTF line and look how big those were in the late 90s.

As it stands the 3.75” do not generate enough revenue for Hasbro because most of the money goes to Disney. Disney makes more on the 3.75” TVC figures than hasbro does. As a result Hasbro pushes the 6” line because it has a higher msrp so they can charge retailers more than $13 per figure. They’d rather sell figures at $23 each because the difference in manufacturing between 3.75” and 6” is virtually nonexistent. They cost about the same to produce but 6” generates nearly double revenue per figure. This covers Disney’s high licensing fees

I think the price point is too high for the 5POA figures for parents who know their kids will probably just open it (which is always a good thing) and play with it for about 20 minutes and then go back to their electronics. The Vintage Collection line can accomplish that. It can also allow for more intricate vehicles and playsets. Also with Hasbro wanting to cut down on plastics, the smaller bubble of The Vintage Collection figures and them not including figures with vehicles unless it is something like a speeder/swoop they will no longer need the plastic viewing panel. I know the vehicles come with baggies to hold the accessories but that can be remedied with a wimple cardboard box like the mail-away boxes. Long live TVC.

It’s that we recognize that there are so many characters will never see a figure lease if they don’t have a cheaper mainline. Bottom line is we are getting no more TVC figures then we were going to before and now we are going to get less characters represented from the new movie because the 5POA line is gone.

Will Hasbro make all of the Knights of Ren on individual cards with more articulation? Probably not.

Because of the aesthetic appeal and nostalgia factor for older fans, the vintage-style cardback should have always remained the default packaging for all 3.75"-scale Star Wars figures. Even figures of generally-loathed characters (such as Rose Tico and Vice Admiral Gender Studies from The Last Jedi) would likely have sold reasonably well if they had been dressed up in vintage-style packaging. For me, the quality of any given figure's sculpt and detailing always trumps the degree of its articulation. Some older 5POA figures have far superior sculpts to that of their upgraded iterations in the highly-articulated TVC line. Unfortunately, because of the limiting circumstances of today's retail environment, and the legal complications involving the non-existence of likeness rights contracts with actors who portrayed minor human characters, many older 5POA figures will likely never be upgraded/rereleased in the current TVC line, so I long ago accepted that for maximum and ideal character representation in many of my movie scene displays I will always need to mix and match characters from different lines of Star Wars figures that have come out over the years.

I was 6 years old when Star Wars came out , and those 5 POA figures that came out over the following 6-8 years were my life ! So I really enjoy that type of basic figure. But , I think the retro line will scratch that itch for me. So far , I’ve been opening those. I’ve been keeping my TVC carded unless I need them for a display , then I buy two of that figure. So , I guess as long as they keep the retro line around, I don’t care about any other 5 POA figures.

I am nuts about the vintage collection but I must admit that there are lot of figures that were release on the 5POA format that actually were pretty cool like Moloch, Saw Gerrera, C'ai Threnalli, Quay Tolsite. The thing is these more kind of obscure background characters might not ever see the light in TVC because of the limited number of figures on that collection, the perfect example is the Triple Force Friday rooster that is only 3 The Mandalorian figures and 4 Ep IX figures.

Rise of Skywalker is a crap title IMHO and so is the plot line, and lack of development for the new characters. Disney had no 3-movies story arc for this sequel trilogy and all they wanted to do is disrespect original trilogy characters, kill them off, and bring in their new SJW underdeveloped characters. I understand your sediment and hope they do straighten up, but this sequel trilogy cannot be fixed in one movie! Ep. 7 was fun while watching it due to having no Star Wars movies in ages, but JJ Abrams just copied and rebooted A New Hope! They played on nostalgia to take our money. They appeared to have no plans for good stories.

The need some people have for articulation is kind of ridiculous. The 5poa line has had great detail, giving us wonderful figures like Sarco Plank, Quay Tolsite, Moloch, etc. We were getting a ton of ancillary figures, and at $8 or $9 a figure. I liked having the Vintage Collection there to give us super articulated figures for some of the main characters, and the 5poa line to give us a much wider selection of figures at a lower price point. It's great that they made super articulated Rey and Jynn Erso, but do we really need a super articulated Constable Zuvio or Tasu Leech? Does anyone really want to pay $12.99 for those? I thought the two lines really complemented each other. And personally I love how modern 5poa looks next to the classic 5poa Kenner line. Vintage Collection could stand for some improvement. Many of the latest Vintage Collection figures have parts that are thin and cheap. I stand my figures on a shelf, opened, and I hate the shallow, tiny, useless peg holes in the feet of some Vintage Collection figures. Sculpt and detail are what I care about the most, and that's why I prefer 5poa. Now if it's a matter of packaging then yeah, I totally see why MOC collectors prefer VC. The packaging is so snazzy.

We still collect the figures and they play with the figures all the time, we get super excited for the movies and have been going to them as a family. I’m super down if they are just going to lower the price and focus on the tvc line, to be honest they should have done that from the beginning. But if the line is going to be as sparse as it has been as far as the range of variant in characters I’ll be bummed. Also we collect the vehicles and play sets.

Yes, I think all Star Wars 3:75" figures going forward should be super articulated and on a vintage style card. I collect both 3:75" and 6" just like many adult star wars figure collectors, and I open all my figures (even TVC!), throwing away the bubble after it's carefully separated from the card and keeping the card itself. Vintage cards make the 3:75" line far more attractive, even for younger, newer collectors too! Hasbro just need to up the variety of characters made for the TVC line like they did back in 2010-2012, plus reduce the price point to around £10 as many TVC figures at the moment are still too expensive!

Eh, I don't really think they *should* go away per say, 5PoA is actually kinda neat in a weird way (since they're almost like the original Kenner run but with all the detail they missed out on back then)... I think Vintage Collection & the 5PoA lines could co-exist rather well if they'd actually try, I'd say just do a better job at getting TVC out and prioritize it instead of letting the 5PoA figures be the most common ones you can find in stores since they're obviously not as good. (Hasbro needs better distribution *in general,* tbh) Essentially, when it comes to 3-inch: Focus on TVC and keep the 5PoA figures as what they should've been from the start, a SLIGHTLY cheaper alternative and an interesting niche for the people who like that sorta thing, *not your only choice for the scale half the time.* But hey: I guess none of this really matters to me since I've pretty much moved on to The Black Series for the most part, just throwing my two cents in since 3.75" are obviously the more important Star Wars figures when it comes down to it, right? Star Wars was always mainly in the 3" scale, after all.

But yes if this means we can finally get back to roughly where we were during 2010-13 with all of the films and TV shows being represented in TVC at a reasonable price £9 -10.99 brill, because we really need to start seeing never before made characters in TVC especially from the OT.

Not a big fan of Vintage Collection. I loved 5POA for the simplicity. Plus Vehicles and such meant amazing Dioramas. They were also durable and cheap, so i could let a younger cousin play with them and they would be fine, and if they break, I just buy another since they aren’t that much money. Plus, the Vintage collection has no variety and I see the same 3 characters on the shelves. Maybe if they gave us a more open range and more vehicles, I would consider collecting. But in no way does the death of 5POA mean more Vintage, nothing will change except lest figures. I don’t understand why people are talking about TVC being the ones they collected as kids, if I’m not mistaken then old figures were 5POA? The main reason I love 5POA is it was never hard to get my collection going. I had a lot of figures quickly because of the price point and they were very fun to play with.

This will only work if we see an increase in the number of TVC figures produced. If Hasbro eliminates 5POA and doesn’t increase production of TVC, then that’s a big drop off in the number of figures we’ll see. And that would suck because a lot of the filler 5POA figures have been absolutely incredible in detail lately. In fact, there are some 5POA sculpts I prefer over their SA counterparts (Kylo Ren comes to mind). So less options is never good. But like I said, as long as we see an increase in the number of SA figures, not to mention actual store availability, then I’m on board.

I rather have 3.75 inch action figures. They're what I grew up with in the 1980s. Also I'm not a fan of leaving them in the package. Was happy Hasbro made that Jabba's Palace Adventure set,but sadly Walmart never got anymore. If they stop the 3.75 inch figures,they won't have any figures the right size to fit in that place set should Hasbro send more to Walmart. Don't care about the Disney Trilogy movies since Harrison Ford wanted out and Carrie Fisher died. Rather have figures from the 1977-1983 Trilogy like I grew up with.

@@BossksBounty Yes the Kenner logo and the 1980s style packaging gives them a more retro and vintage feel.

Vintage collection is the best! Glad they are discontinuing 5poa. I love the super articulated figures from 2006 and up!

I buy the vc purely for the card tim , all my loose figures are vintage . I dont like the multitude of joints on the vc figures as it makes them knobbley looking and most have an unsightly thong/nappy thing goin on below the waist, the 5poa are much more realistic in that regards. If it were a case of the extra resources going towards the v.c then it wouldn't be all bad but it wont, there will be a few more yes but with disney telling hasbro which figures to make it will be new Disney era characters mainly with just the odd o.t one to keep older collectors quiet . I agree with mike that T.L.j was the straw that broke the camels back with the 5 poa movie line so its ultimately disney to blame for Hasbros decision. I see this as a loss and was saddened to see the lack of respect for the 5poa in only ones comments . I'll have to disagree with you tim and only one on this one unfortunately .

Thats cool Gerard, we all have our opinions on these things, thats what makes collecting great. It was TFA that started it though, too many Zuvios on the pegs etc, then TLJ Rose Tico, Hux etc etc. I love the vintage figures, had them as a kid and collect them now, but I just think that new figures should be up to date and articulated. Agree sometimes the nappy doesnt look great though. We have had a decent amount of OT this year though, all the ROTJ stuff and only 5 TLJ cards since the film came out. I like that Ratio. of course this next wave will be dominated by TROS and the one after with the Mandalorian but I would wager we will see lots of OT next year especially with the 40th anniversary of ESB.

Wind the clock back: if Hasbro had started the Vintage Collection as 5 POA would fans have bought them? I think they would because it's all about the cardback for many fans plus it would pay tribute to the original line (and in some ways could have been a continuation of the original line). Super articulation could have been done for the movie lines and I think older collectors would have bought them for the articulation and kids would want them for playability. Just thinking out loud. Personally I don't mind if they end the 5 POA line as I thought it was a step backwards from the legacy collection and it was at that point I stopped collecting figures and focused just on vintage collection (cos it was all about the cardback).

Thats an interesting way of looking at it. They are kind of doing that with the Retro line which they are happy with the sales of. BUT in my opinion we need more Tarkins, i.e figs we never got rather than a repro Princess Leia.

Like I said the reasons I’m not happy about this is is 1 you could get fillers cheep! And the availability of the vintage collection figures! You can only buy from scalpers! I can’t even pre order Rex! All pre orders are sold out! PRE ORDERS ARE SOLD OUT! Or that beautiful 3 pack of arc 501st that should be on selves in stores you can only find on eBay for 175+ it is so disheartening! And is actually really getting to me now! Especially being at the point in my collection where I’m just buying new figures from the vintage collection because they are the only game in town! And like I said you can’t even pre order some stuff ! SOLD OUT 2 months before it even comes out! How are we supposed to keep up collecting???

I understand what you are saying about the articulation and that the Vintage collection is a better looking figure, but I would rather have neither of what you have shown as they are both just re-carded or remade figures. I would rather have the original figure, MOC from 1981 on ESB card. I collect the figures from when they were originally put out on the Move card. In 1977-79 SW, 1980-82 ESB, 1982-84 ROTJ, Ep. 1, Rogue One, Han Solo, Force Awakens, Last Jedi, etc. But I really wish they would have kept the style of card from 1977 to 1984. I do not like the cards from the other movies. I do like the front of the VC cards, but the backs could be better. I do not want the 3.75" line to go away. I do not want to be stuck with only nostalgic looking cards from new and old movies. I want a good looking movie line card for each Star Wars line when the movies actually come out. I do not collect 6" Black series as they do not look good displayed with my vintage vehicles and play sets from the 70s and 80s. The 5" looks cartoony and lame. I do not collect the VC line or Retro line.

Mate If I could afford to just collect the original vintage line then I would! I just don't get people that want new figures on movie line cards that don't open them. Just seems odd to me. But each to their own.

I really enjoy the Vintage Collection, but here's the problem, they are usually only online and overpriced above retail and very tough to find because Hasbro's distribution is shit.
