On April 3rd, 2010, Star Wars The Vintage Collection was introduced through a German Jedi-Con exclusive convention 2-pack featuring the Bounty Hunters 4-Lom and Zuckuss. The same set became a Star Wars Celebration V exclusive in August 2010, coinciding with the launch of The Vintage Collection in stores. For this line, Hasbro opted to revive the beloved Kenner packaging-style from the late 70s and 80s, featuring a coffin blister and a large character picture next to the figure. After its initial run, The Vintage Collection went on a five-year hiatus until its revival in 2018.
In 2018 Hasbro began to re-issue previously released The Vintage Collection figures with the same VC number on the back of the packaging as before. Most figures however weren't straight re-packs, they were given significant paint updates especially around the facial area and in some cases even included newly sculpted parts. The packaging was changed from the previous releases which was most noticeable on the back with different figures pictured and updated legal statements.
