Today I am excited to bring you the Funko Pop Star Wars Retro Series to the pages of Action Figure Geek. Here is everything that you need to know about these Stars Wars Retro Funko Pops, including the best online retailers, shopping guide, and accompanying images.

Star Wars is a huge franchise within Funko. There are a ton of really cool Star Wars Funko’s and we are not just talking about Pops from the movies because there is now a stack of great Disney + Star Wars TV shows giving us new vinyl figures. The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan, and the Book of Boba Fett are spin-offs that come to mind. And let us not forget the Star Wars animation Pops like the Bad Batch Funko Pops. So where do these new Funko Pop Star Wars Retro Series figures fit into the scene and do we even need them?

Do we even need them? Yes is the answer, especially when they look as cool as they do. They have been given all-new packaging as you can see below and will really stand out in your Star Wars Funko collection and your wider collection. Each figure is now multiple shades of its base colour. Darth Vader for example is multiple shades of blue with red and orange hues for eyes. They also have now been given a much more retro comic book look and feel.

Some of these Funkos are released as Target, BoxLunch Exclusives and alike, but rest assured there are Funko Special Editions of these for those who can’t get the store exclusives.

I really am a fan of all of these Pops in the Retro Series the all-new colouring of each figure brings a fresh new look to them.  The packaging on the other hand, well I am not such a fan of that. Perhaps these are Pops that should really come out of the box when displaying them.

It really is going to be interesting to see just how far Funko goes with developing this range of Pops. There is a seemingly endless and ever-growing number of characters that can be incorporated into the series.

Obvious additions would be Princess Leia, Yoda, and Darth Maul.

  1. I have all of these now and I love them! I went to Target yesterday and they still had a few Palpatines and a few Chewbaccas left BUT I saw the strangest thing. Next to the price tags on the shelf for those two was another price tag for a “SW Retro Dagobah Yoda” Pop. What!? That doesn’t exist.

    1. Yes, they are great Pops. I like that they look so different from the other Star Wars Pops. It doesn’t surprise me that you have seen price tags for a Retro Dagobah Yoda” Pop if you look at the numbering of the series your see there is a gap in the numbers…

      453 Luke Skywalker
      454 C3P0
      455 Stormtrooper
      456 Darth Vader

      570 Chewbacca
      571 R2-D2
      572 Ben Kenobi
      573 Emperor Palpatine

      could these be the Pop numbers for another Star Wars Retro Wave including Yoda?

      Which other Pops are you collecting?
