Scope note: this guide is Black Series first, but the price intel below runs across the whole Star Wars catalog FigurePinner tracks -- Vintage Collection, Kenner, Hot Toys, vehicles and roleplay included. Where a line is not 6-inch Black Series, the row says so.

Four-plus decades of Star Wars, line by line. Open a line for its history and grails.
8386" Black Series2013–now791 priced$158–$375
The Black Series launched in 2013 as Hasbro's premium 6-inch line — the first retail wave (Aug 1, 2013) was Luke Skywalker X-Wing Pilot, Darth Maul, R2-D2, and a Sandtrooper, in the now-nostalgic orange-accent packaging. It is the modern collector standard: numbered, phased, and chased. Early orange-line figures and short-packed waves carry the premium; the first figure collectors actually got was a Boba Fett + Han-in-Carbonite SDCC exclusive that sold out fast.
814The Vintage Collection2010–2012, 2018–now810 priced$649–$2,800
The Vintage Collection (TVC) is the 3.75-inch collector line on classic Kenner-style cardbacks. It first ran 2010–2012 ("VC 1.0"), then relaunched in 2018 ("VC 2.0") and has run since. Collectors favor it for two reasons: it stays cheaper than the 6-inch Black Series, and the 3.75-inch sculpts often rival or beat the 6-inch figures on paint detail — plus the scale works with the vintage vehicles and playsets for world-building.
358Hot Toysfigures343 priced$700–$850
346Kenner Vintage Collection1977–1985292 priced$570–$1,025
The original Kenner line (1977–1985) created the 3.75-inch small-scale format that became the industry standard — the same format Hasbro later revived for G.I. Joe. This is the vintage prestige tier, and it holds the grails: the rocket-firing Boba Fett prototype (a graded example sold for $1.34 million; Kenner glued the rocket over safety fears, so only a handful exist) and the vinyl-cape Jawa on a 12-back card (AFA 80+ examples reach $30,000–$45,000). Card back count, condition, and AFA grade drive everything here.

222Power of the Force1985, 1995–2000218 priced$49–$112
Power of the Force originally closed out the vintage Kenner run in 1985 with collector coins, then the name returned in 1995 ("POTF2") as the line that relaunched Star Wars figures for the modern era — the famously over-muscled "Han Solo" sculpts collectors still joke about. A foundational nostalgia line for anyone who collected in the 90s.

74Retro Collection2019–now73 priced$50–$130
The Retro Collection is Hasbro's deliberate homage to the original Kenner line — 3.75-inch figures with vintage-style limited articulation and Kenner-look cardbacks, sold at a budget price. It scratches the vintage itch without the vintage price, and the early waves (the original-trilogy core) are the most sought.

Collector questions
What is the most valuable Star Wars action figure?
The rocket-firing Boba Fett prototype is the crown grail of the entire action-figure hobby -- a graded example sold for $1.34 million in 2024. It was meant as a mail-away with a spring-fired rocket, but Kenner glued the rocket in place over child-safety fears before any firing version shipped, so only about three are known to exist. Among production figures, the vinyl-cape Jawa on a 12-back card is the king, reaching $30,000-$45,000 graded.
Black Series (6-inch) or The Vintage Collection (3.75-inch) — which should I collect?
Both are current Hasbro lines, so it is a format choice, not a quality one. The Black Series (launched 2013) is the 6-inch, super-articulated, display-piece standard. The Vintage Collection is the 3.75-inch line on Kenner-style cardbacks — cheaper, often more finely painted for its size, and built to scale with the vintage vehicles and playsets. World-builders lean Vintage Collection; shelf-display collectors lean Black Series.
How do I tell a vintage Kenner figure is real and what drives its value?
Vintage Kenner ran 1977-1985 at 3.75 inches. Value is driven by the cardback (the '12-back' first-run cards are the most prized), condition, the AFA grade for carded examples, and specific production variants — the vinyl-cape Jawa, the double-telescoping lightsaber early figures, and the collector-coin Power of the Force releases. Loose and incomplete drops value a tier; a graded carded 12-back is the ceiling.
What is the Light side vs Dark side split on this hub?
It is the native good/evil duality: the Light side (Jedi, Rebellion, Republic, Resistance — Luke, Leia, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka) facing the Dark side (Sith, Empire, First Order, the bounty guild — Vader, Maul, Palpatine, Boba Fett) across the saber seam. The grails table and vaults span both sides; the Heroes-vs-Villains band leads with the top-priced figures from each.
The Star Wars figure story
Hasbro launched Star Wars Black Series in 2013 with an orange-carded 6-inch figure and a lot of goodwill from collectors who had been tolerating the 3.75-inch scale since 1977. Thirteen years later it is the dominant premium Star Wars format: 838 figures in the FigurePinner database, 537 unique characters, and a secondary market that ranges from $8 clearance Stormtroopers to $200+ HasLab Sail Barge figures that funded on sheer collector will.
The line has gone through distinct phases that collectors track like geological strata. Orange wave, blue wave, Force Awakens era, 40th Anniversary, Galaxy series. Each phase has different articulation standards, paint quality benchmarks, and secondary market behavior. Buying a Phase 1 orange-carded figure and a current Galaxy-series release is not the same transaction even if they cost the same at retail.
