A look at the new Star Wars Black Series figures for May the 4th

On May 21, 1980, arguably the best Star Wars movie was released in theaters: The Empire Strikes Back. The Star Wars film features some iconic scenes and the return of all our favorite characters--plus, the introduction to a few as well. And what better way to celebrate one of the most enjoyable sci-fi/fantasy films from the '80s than with new toys in classic packaging?

Hasbro's Black Series line has a new set arriving this Spring featuring figures whose looks are based on The Empire Strikes Back. Additionally, these toys come in retro Kenner packaging. Back in the '80s, Kenner originally put out the Star Wars toys before Hasbro took over in 1991.

You'll find all of your favorites in this new set: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, and more. However, all of their looks are inspired by different outfits the characters were wearing or the different locales they were in. All of these figures will be sold separately at most major retailers and will be available this Spring. Hasbro sent us a box of the new toys to check out, and you can find all of them below along with links to purchase them if you need them in your collection.

If you're looking for more Star Wars Day merch and deals to celebrate May the 4th, check out these Baby Yoda Funko Pops, an amazing Steam sale featuring a ton of Star Wars games, and all the best Star Wars game deals currently available.

R2-D2 (Dagobah)

R2-D2 (Dagobah)

Price: $21

Available: August

Dagobah may be strong with the force, but it's pretty muddy, and there's not really a good place to get yourself clean. This R2-D2 figure is covered in mud.

Yoda (Dagobah)

Yoda (Dagobah)

Price: $20

Available: May

This Yoda figure is as tall as the R2-D2 toy. He comes with a lightsaber, cane, and that snake that Luke removed from Yoda's hut.

Princess Leia Organa (Hoth)

Princess Leia Organa (Hoth)

Price: $20

Available: May

Leia comes with goggles and a blaster. Also, this is undoubtedly her best outfit in the Star Wars series. This figure also does a pretty good job of capturing Carrie Fisher's likeness.

AT-AT Driver

AT-AT Driver

Price: $20

Available: May

Trying to destroy the rebellion on Hoth, here's the AT-AT driver. He comes with a blaster.

Rebel Soldier (Hoth)

Rebel Soldier (Hoth)

Price: $20

Available: August

While the Empire has Stormtroopers and other foot soldiers, the Rebels has... well... Rebel Soldiers. This Black Series figure comes with two blasters and a mask to cover his face.

Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder)

Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder)

Price: $20

Available: August

This incredibly detailed Luke figure in his Rebel pilot suit. He comes with his lightsaber. The helmet technically comes off, but it doesn't seem like it's meant to.

Lando Calrissian

Lando Calrissian

Price: $16

Available: August

This Lando figure looks fantastic. The cape isn't cloth--it's vinyl--but that's not a huge deal. He also comes with a blaster.

Han Solo (Bespin)

Han Solo (Bespin)

Price: $20

Available: May

Han Solo is looking pretty slick here--moments before he was frozen in carbonite. He comes with a blaster, and the face matches Harrison Ford exceptionally well.

Imperial Tie Fighter Pilot

Imperial Tie Fighter Pilot

Price: $20

Available: August

While this Tie Fighter Pilot may not be getting out of the cockpit, it still comes with a blaster.

Luke Skywalker (Bespin)

Luke Skywalker (Bespin)

Price: $20

Finally, this second Luke figure comes with a blaster and a lightsaber. The blaster also fits into the holder on his side.
