About This Figure
Yoda from Kenner's Vintage Collection line (Modern Era).
Hasbro's deliberate throwback to the Kenner card back — 3.75-inch scale with super-articulation and vintage-style packaging that doubles as display art. Flips between fan-favourite demand spikes.
Yoda's original Kenner figure (Empire Strikes Back wave, 1980) — with its orange snake accessory and tiny gimer-stick cane — is among the most widely recognized vintage Star Wars accessory pieces; the figure's scale relative to the rest of the line was one of the earliest examples of scale-accuracy in 3.75-inch collecting, and the Force ghost and Dagobah variants created multiple pursuing threads within a single character's vintage catalog.
