Commentary: It's Greedo! Some people say he's a minor character, and I disagree. As the first alien antagonist of the entire series, and one of very few characters to be named on-screen, kids remembered him and it just happened to help he's colored similarly to his name. Toy companies are usually really good about making him one of the first characters you get, but Hasbro gave Greedo something of a break from roughly 2010 to 2025. That struck me as odd, but this year we got two figures both from the same mold, both (more or less) exclusive to Hasbro Pulse, and both packed with different Cantina playsets. This one was colored like the 1979 figure and packaged like the Sears playset from that era. The other one is movie-specific and has a movie-specific playset. They're both good for different reasons.

Kenner and Hasbro have given 3 3/4-inch fans roughly five Greedo molds. While we've seen a wide variety in how they're painted, this is the first one since 1979 to come in the Kenner Green colors. For this release, Hasbro dropped the vest but ensured we got a lot of detail. If the figure sculpt looks familiar, there's a reason. Not only did Hasbro give its 6-inch Greedo the same treatment in 2021, but much of it is the same sculpt.

Since the Disney takeover, there have been whispers that Lucasfilm has approved digital assets that go out to Hasbro and Jakks and other companies that make figures, rather than doing their own in-house interpretations. If you put this figure next to Hasbro's 2013 6-inch figure, you'll note that the wrinkles on the suit are very similar if not identical on the arms and legs. Hasbro's 3 3/4-inch torso has more detail than the 6-inch one, especially on the back. You'll note this Kennery Greedo has a lot of folds and creases plus a nice texture, while the 6-inch one was significantly smoother. The chest seems very similar, with hands that aren't particularly different. The head appears to be altered a bit, with less oblong eyes dotted Kenner's familiar white highlights. I'd say this was a more successful execution of the Kenner deco idea.

Not knowing when to quit, Hasbro went the extra mile and left in the movie version's holster. As you know, Kenner 1979 Greedo had no belt or holster - it probably would have been a more accurate figure to just leave it out. We got his movie blaster, which looks fine, and which fits well in his hand or holster.

I had some difficulty getting him to stand right. While Hasbro has significantly improved articulation, Greedo took some work to get just-so thanks to fidgety ankles. He sits well, and the pivot joint at the waist is cut nicely at the belt so it's not an eyesore. The hands bend and swivel nicely, with fingers that are made to grip a blaster. Hasbro did a pretty good job here, minus the very shallow foot peg holes that probably will make finding a good stand difficult.

Paint on this bright green 2025 figure is pretty sharp. The 2021 6-inch Kenner Greedo had fades at his joints, which reminded me a bit of sofubi and higher-end collector figures. This one just keeps things simple, sharp, and elegant. The figure is mostly molded in color, and his off-center dots have him giving some of the best side-eye since 1979 Hammerhead. This figure has a lot of personality, and I'm honestly more excited about this deco than the movie deco for that reason. It's rare that I can point to a Hasbro collector product and say "you get a lot for your money here," but this is worth the asking price. I bought two - I rarely buy two of anything anymore.

Collector's Notes: I got mine from Hasbro Pulse, I assume it's an exclusive as ShopDisney hasn't listed it (yet?). It initially sold out immediately, and has come in and out of availability several times during its pre-order window.
