Thanks to ohiopopculturecollector, we have some nice detailed in-hand images for the new 6" Black Series Empire Strikes Back Vintage Cardback figures being released by Hasbro. This wave includes figures of Yoda, Bespin Han Solo, Hoth Princess Leia, AT-AT Driver and Bespin Luke.With these new images you can see the improved face scans these figures feature over the previously released versions. These were located at Meijer stores, so if you are wanting to pick them up you may want to start hunting now.
Feels like it's 1980 all over again. Like looking inside of a time capsule.
All of them look fine except Luke, yes, new paint printing for the face makes it better than previous figure but that torso and arms look bad, especially when you compare figure's proportion to photo on the card.
Have to get this Luke for the newface scan technology and a the vintage card back is a huge plus. Will be picking up a few of these.
I hope these are available online, not exclusive somewhere. If indeed they're 6" then Iwant that Luke Skywalker and maybe the Han Solo in his hipsterjacket.
Has anyone seen them in Canada yet?

Yeah, me neither, they seem to be pretty much the same maybe some slight paint differences.

...and now Im going to be on the hunt for another Luke! But one of my favorite looks for Han so I will be looking forward to finding this one. Alsothe packaging is greatand I think they look good with my 40th Anniversary Legacy Pack Darth Vader.

Looks to me like it might be the same headsculpt from before, just with Photo Real printing. Won't know until I see this in person or see better pics of it, though.
