The Star Wars Shadow Of The Dark Side toy line debuted officially on August 6, 2010 alongside The Vintage Collection. Even though the packaging didn't say Shadow Of The Dark Side, the name was made public by Hasbro in a presentation slide at New York Toy Fair 2010 which referred to it as "Awesome new black and blue "Shadow Of The Dark Side" line look (August)". Hasbro released some truly fantastic Star Wars toys in this series, like a The Force Unleashed 5-pack, a newly sculpted Jabba The Hutt (incl. a new throne), a newly sculpted Oola and a brand new TaunTaun! It was also an opportunity for Hasbro to bring back some hard to find figures like the Rebel Technician with Rebel Transport Speeder or the beautifully sculpted General Grievous action figure with 24 points of articulation.
