Hasbro has recently unveiled a brand-new collection of Star Wars figures that are on the way across both their 6-inch Black Series line and 3.75-inch Vintage Collection line. A new wave of Vintage Collection figures will arrive in 2027, featuring brand-new, updated releases of iconic Star Wars characters. R2-D2 is back with a brand-new figure that will be inspired by his introduction to Luke Skywalker from A New Hope. Final product versions of these figures were not revealed, but prototypes were shown during the Hasbro Pulse livestream.
R2-D2 will have a shorter and slimmer build, which will better help him stay in scale with some of the other Star Wars Vintage Collection figures. He will have an extending tripod leg, and it was revealed that he will also have a sculpted decal chip on his chest. R2 will feature his iconic white-and-blue deco, and Hasbro revealed that a shiny version will be released in the future. Be sure to pair this Astromech with the new and updated C-3PO Vintage Collection figure as well. Pre-order information is not yet available, but he is scheduled for a Spring 2027 release. Stay tuned for more information as it is revealed.
