A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, an animated television series took place. Star Wars Droids aired in 1985 and 1986, a series from the Dark Times, when fans of the franchise figured it was over for good and there was not any hope of another movie. Considered non-canon even back then, it tracked stories prior to the original trilogy of the adventures of trusty droids R2-D2 and C-3P0. A corresponding toy line featured a whopping twelve action figures, three vehicles, and two lightsabers–plus a scarce figure for the character Vlix that was only released in Brazil.
Now exclusively at Target stores and Target online, Kenner is offering new versions with retro Star Wars Droids packaging featuring 3.75-inch scale Boba Fett, R2-D2, and C-3P0, plus a six-inch Kenner “The Black Series” style Boba Fett, all inspired by characters as seen in the animated series. Check out images below of the new figures and included collectable coins.
