Star Wars Day Starts Early With New The Black Series and Vintage Collection Releases

Hasbro is getting out ahead of the game on Star Wars Day 2020 with the release of a Baby Yoda edition of Monopoly and a wave of new action figures and roleplay gear in The Black Series and Vintage Collection lineups. If you're down to celebrate a few days early, the details on these new releases can be found below.

The Black Series Boba Fett (Prototype Armor) electronic helmet headlines the new wave (UPDATE: Several awesome Amazon exclusives were added below). It's based on the 1978 "Supertrooper" design from Joe Johnston, which was an early prototype for the Boba Fett armor in Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. The costume appeared the test shot featured in the video below.

Features of the helmet include a flip-down rangefinder with flashing LED lights and an illuminated heads-up display (HUD). Pre-orders for the helmet are available here at Entertainment Earth for $99.99. It follows the more traditional The Black Series Boba Fett helmet that was unveiled last year, which you can pre-order here at Entertainment Earth for $119.99.

Next up we have the The Vintage Collection Luke Skywalker Stormtrooper Disguise Action Figure. It measures 3.75-inches - a little short for a Stormtrooper if you ask us. Pre-orders for this figure are live here at Entertainment Earth for $13.99.

The second Luke Skywalker figure release is The Black Series Luke Skywalker and Yoda (Jedi Training), which includes an alternate portrait for Yoda as well is gimer stick cane, Jedi training backpack, blaster, lightsaber, and alternate hands for Luke. Pre-orders are live here at Entertainment Earth for $44.99.
