Hasbro and Lucasfilm and kicking off Imperial March with stunning new Star Wars: The Vintage Collection figures of Darth Vader and the Stormtrooper, which Dexerto can exclusively reveal. 

The first massive wave of Star Wars merch for 2024 is here as Hasbro kicks off “Imperial March,” a month-long celebration for Star Wars fans and collectors. 

For the remainder of the month, Lucasfilm will reveal new Star Wars merchandise—including action figures, collectibles, accessories, and more—on the official Star Wars: Imperial March website

To kick off the event, Dexerto can exclusively reveal your first look at two new Star Wars: The Vintage Collection figures. 

Star Wars celebrates Imperial March with new Darth Vader & Stormtrooper figures

Today, Dexerto can exclusively reveal the first look at the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Darth Vader and Stormtrooper figure. Previously announced as a pipeline reveal, both figures will be up for pre-order soon. 

The Darth Vader figure, in particular, will appeal to fans. It’s a long-overdue upgrade for fans of Vader’s A New Hope design, replacing the previous version from 2012.

There was, technically, a 2021 Rogue One Darth Vader that is close to the A New Hope design; that figure featured cumbersome molded robes that fans weren’t terribly fond of. Fortunately, those are replaced by much more attractive cloth goods robes for this release. 

The Stormtrooper figure itself doesn’t have too many surprises. It appears to use the same mold and deco as a 2022 Stormtrooper. That figure was a Walmart exclusive, so this gives collectors who missed out (or troop builders who need to replenish their forces) the chance to pick up the figure again.

Both figures will be available for pre-order starting March 14 at major retailers or via the pre-order links below.
