Star Wars Retro Pops

[dragontree]

Funko just announced their fourth wave of Star Wars Retro Pops — Boba Fett, Kylo Ren, Clone Trooper Fives, and Admiral Ackbar (Target exclusive)!









I love the colors of the Retro Pops (and their boxes), and this newest wave is no exception to that. However, I prefer my Pops to look more movie/show-accurate, so I tend to shy away from color variants like this, blacklight, chrome, etc. With the first two waves of this line, I was thinking this was more an homage to the retro Star Wars comics, but with the Phantom Menace wave and this most recent one, the Retro line seems more like a color variant line rather than a comic line (which could include Jaxxon!).

I will say I’m thrilled to finally see a Clone Trooper Fives Funko Pop, and I really hope Funko releases this character again as a non-Retro Pop! I’m also a big fan of the Retro Queen Amidala and Ben Kenobi, but wish those exact molds had also been released with standard paint jobs. There is precedent since that Retro Stormtrooper came out in 2021 and a standard paint job version came out in 2022!

What are everyone else’s thoughts on the line/this new wave?

Boba’s my favorite thus far. I don’t collect the retro ones either, but if they release any Ewoks in these designs I won’t hesitate to buy them.

[Defubl1tz]

I like that Admiral Ackbar Target Exclusive

[Tusken]

They look cool. I would say that Obi and Ackbar are my favorites so far based on the colors.

[TheerealJT]

That Vader and Chewbacca are pretty sweet.

[sealordbrian]

I think these look best out of box. I'm probably going for the Captain Rex and maybe the Ackbar (gametime decision on that one).

[hpellot]

I like these

[sealordbrian]

I'd love to see some Star Wars towns (and I'm shocked we haven't gotten any). Pick a movie, pick a scene. Lots of options here.

There is one. Yoda with his hut from Empire Strikes Back. It came out a couple years ago.

You know funny enough I have that and completely forgot about it. Guess I'm old.

As a big Star Wars collector, these retro pops don’t really do much for me.

The colors really pop on these, pun not intended!

Lmao thanks Dad!

I think the retro paint jobs look cool. They’d be nice as a complete series for display.

[Chenzo157]

I like fives the most so I'm definitely gonna pick him up

These would look cool displayed with a nice lighting

Big Kylo fan *not too many I guessing * these look amazing!

Disappointed there's no princess Leia but still happy

Me too. I'm hoping for some announcement for bitty pops soon

[rexflexall]

Loving that Boba!

[DougieFresh_83]

People are already starting to get the newest wave in from Entertainment Earth. That's a crazy short time from announcement/pre-order to release.

[FunkoMatt857697]

Love the Boba in this series!

[SidekickKiddo]

I hadn't seen the full line before. I think I need a couple. The way the colors pop are so cool!

Yes! And that probably makes more sense given that the cost would be considerably lower, and people really could "universe build" these together in a space-available sense.

I hope to see some bitty pops with this art style. I know it's a task but I think it'd be worth it in the end.

Oh, I’m not sure if you’ve seen this before, but last year for TargetCon 2024 Funko released a Retro style Princess Leia + T-Shirt bundle

Oh I like the idea of “universe building” them Funko’s already released a bunch of Bitty Pop Towns (SpongeBob with his house, Ollivander with his shop, etc) but no Star Wars ones yet. I’d be curious to see what they could come up with

Updating this thread to also include the BoxLunch exclusive Retro style Darth Vader that released with the latest wave. I think it’s interesting that the Star Wars Retro Pops were all Target exclusives from 2021-2024, but starting this year three are commons and at least this one is a BoxLunch exclusive!
