• This Chewbacca (Life Day) figure was released in the Vintage Collection in November 2023 exclusively through HasbroPulse.com and ShopDisney.com
• Even though this Chewbacca Life Day figure came out on a single card it was not part of the VC numbering system
• This Chewbacca figure is based on Chewie's appearance in the made-for-tv Star Wars: Holiday Special from 1978
• Disney, for the first time since they bought the Star Wars license from George Lucas in 2012, sold merchandise based on the Star Wars: Holiday Special in 2022 (which is now likely going to be adopted by a wider audience)
• For this figure Hasbro re-used the Chewbacca sculpt from 2004 but removed the bandolier/satchel and added new hands
• Life Day Chewbacca came with an orb and a soft-goods robe
• The robe is easily removable from the figure
• Chewbacca's right hand is huge and can hold the Crystalline Life Day Orb very well
• The figure stands about 1 1/2 to 2 heads taller than a regular 3.75" Star Wars action figure
• Despite the impressive height the figure thankfully has no balancing issues and stands well on display
• As a life-long Star Wars fan, who's been celebrating Life Day annually since the early 2000s every November 17 by rewatching the Holiday Special (and all the oldschool tv commercials during the show) at the local collector gathering, it's truly amazing that Hasbro released a figure based on this quirky variety show from the late '70s

Life Day is a longstanding tradition celebrating Wookiee cultural values including family, joy, and harmony. While festivities are traditionally held at the Tree of Life on Kashyyyk, Wookiees throughout the galaxy mark the day.
