The Last Jedi – 2017

The Last Jedi (Episode 8) was released in December of 2017, and followed up one of the highest grossing movies of all time, The Force Awakens. It seemed like it would take a herculean effort to destroy all the good will built up by Force Awakens, but that’s exactly what Last Jedi did. This certainly affected the movie’s new toy line by Hasbro. Even though the movie was financially successful, many fans absolutely despised it, thus creating a bit of a dark period in Star Wars history. Hasbro released a line of 22 basic figures with some being re-releases from past lines. There was also several multipacks, vehicles and a small line of uninspired 12 inch figures. 

For more information about Hasbro’s The Last Jedi line, see bottom of the page for a complete summary. 

The Last Jedi (2017): Basic Figure Line

Hasbro released 22 action figures for their Last Jedi line in 2017, with a few characters being re-issues from past lines. The original Last Jedi figures had decent sculpts but limited articulation. In all, the Last Jedi line just seemed rather uninspired.

The Last Jedi (2017): Multipacks

Several multipacks were released for the Last Jedi Movie line, with a few being retail exclusives. Once again, characters from previous Star Wars movies were mixed in with the new. New Force Link 2.0 Starter Sets were also offered.

(Yoda, Darth Maul, Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu, Kylo Ren, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Rey, Darth Vader)

Market Value:
Boxed $25 – $40
Loose $12 – $20

The Last Jedi (2017): Two-Packs

Hasbro introduced a small series of figure two-packs for the new Last Jedi Movie as well. Each set featured two figures, with half of them being from Last Jedi and the other half being re-releases from past movies.

The Last Jedi (2017): Playsets

Hasbro released only one new large scale playsets for their Last Jedi line, and it was the BB-8 Two-in-One Mega Playset. The large scale BB-8 easily opens to reveal a multi-level playset, including 3 Force Link activation areas with lights and sounds. There were also six areas of play and awesome action features that included trap doors, firing projectiles, and more!

The Last Jedi (2017): Vehicles

Hasbro released six new vehicles for their Last Jedi line, with all being from the new Episode 8 movie. Two of the vehicles were retail exclusives, First Order Special Forces Tie Fighter from Walmart and Poe’s Boosted X-Wing from Toys R Us.

The Last Jedi (2017): 12 Inch Figures

After a hiatus for several years, Hasbro brought back their 12 Inch figure series for the new Disney movies. These Last Jedi figures were not very detailed with very little articulation. Due to the lackluster effort by Hasbro, the series did not sell very well and came to a quick end.

Last Jedi 6-Pack (Disney Exclusive)

Market Value:
Boxed $30 – $45
Loose $10 – $15

When the Walt Disney Entertainment Company purchased Lucasfilm in October of 2013, they promised us more Star Wars movies, and they certainly delivered. Not only was there the continuation of the Skywalker Saga in Episodes 7, 8, and 9, but Disney released two Star Wars “Stories” with Rogue One and Solo. Force Awakens went on to become the biggest domestic box office movie of all time, but The Last Jedi was incredibly Divisive, to say the least. Despite its financial success, The Last Jedi proved to be a bit toxic and began a dark period for the Star Wars franchise. The movie produced a new action figure line by Hasbro, of course, with a mixed assortment of characters and sub-sets spanning multiple movies. The design and sculpts were decently done, but the line just didn’t sell very well at retail.

The packaging on The Last Jedi line had a nicely drawn picture of each character on the right side of the card and not much else. The plain white cards and packages had a red side theme to them, with the Star Wars logo also done in red. The blister cards were fairly plain and were easy to blend in with everything else on the store shelves. In regards to the offered product, Hasbro gave us a total of 22 action figures, with some being re-issues from past lines. In addition, we also got several different 12 inch figures, 6 vehicles, a playset and several multipacks for the line. The Last Jedi line also had a new Force Link 2.0 feature that activated light and sound effects when when the Force Link 2.0 technology was brought near the 3.75-inch-scale figures.

The Last Jedi was a critical and financial success, but many fans were very divided over the movie. As a result, the toy line suffered. Like “Rogue One”, this line was somewhat limited, and just seemed much more could have done with it. It seemed that Hasbro started out strong from the gates with their Last Jedi line, but then just kind of gave up before the race ended. The Last Jedi action figure line suffered due to the much divided fan base and the fact that many adult collectors simply chose not to buy these toys. The line sold well at first, but died out qucily and ended up being relegated to bargain bins across the county. A couple of the vehicles and multipacks can reach moderate prices but overall, most items from the Last Jedi toy line can be easily found on the secondary market.
