The hunt is over for 3.75-inch scale collectors. As part of the Walmart Collector Con 2026 event, Hasbro has officially unveiled a highly anticipated addition to the 3.75-inch lineup: the Star Wars The Vintage Collection Obi-Wan Kenobi & Clone Trooper action figure 2-pack. This set is now confirmed to be a tribute to the climactic Battle of Utapau from Revenge of the Sith.
A Tribute to the Siege of Utapau
This exclusive release focuses on the pivotal moment when the 212th Attack Battalion, led by Commander Cody and General Obi-Wan Kenobi, descended upon the sinkhole city of Pau City to confront General Grievous. The set includes two key figures essential for recreating these prequel-era scenes: General Obi-Wan Kenobi (Utapau) and a specialized 212th Battalion Airborne Clone Trooper.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is featured in his classic Jedi robes, complete with the premium “photoreal” face deco and high level of articulation that fans expect from the modern Vintage Collection. Joining him is the fan-favorite Airborne Trooper, distinguished by his unique helmet sculpt and specialized gear designed for high-altitude drops.
Exclusive Packaging for Collectors
One of the standout features of this release is the packaging style. Following a trend seen in recent multipacks, this set comes in a closed-box outer package featuring cinematic diorama photography. However, inside the box, the figures are housed on individual Kenner-style cardbacks, complete with their own unique “VC” numbers. This dual-layered approach is designed to satisfy both “openers” who want the classic carded look for their walls and “in-box” collectors who appreciate the premium protective outer packaging.
Accessories and Details
True to the high standards of the line, both figures come with character-specific accessories. Obi-Wan Kenobi includes his signature blue-bladed lightsaber and an alternate “Force” hand to recreate his iconic combat stances. The Airborne Clone Trooper is battle-ready with both a long blaster rifle and a shorter blaster carbine. The deco on the trooper features the signature orange markings of the 212th, applied with the precision and weathering details that have made the recent 3.75-inch clones a hit among fans.
Availability and Pre-Order Information
The Star Wars The Vintage Collection Obi-Wan Kenobi & Clone Trooper 2-pack is a Walmart exclusive, retailing for $32.80. As part of the Collector Con festivities, the set is expected to be a high-demand item for those looking to build out their Episode III displays. They go live on March 19, at 7am PST.
For fans of the 212th Attack Battalion, this release provides a perfect opportunity to add an elite paratrooper to their ranks alongside one of the greatest Jedi Generals of the Republic. As the Vintage Collection continues to celebrate the legacy of the prequel trilogy, this Utapau-themed set stands out as a highlight for the 2026 collecting year. Be sure to secure your pre-order early, as these specialized sets have a history of moving quickly once the “collector” event begins.
Hot Toys has officially unveiled four exciting new additions to its Star Wars figure lineup, with pre-orders now open for three of the highly anticipated releases.

The Obi-Wan figure will be available in two versions: a standard edition and a premium Artisan Edition that features rooted hair for enhanced realism.

A natural and practical leader in the clone army, Commander Cody’s keen ability to strategize, combined with his fierce combat style in the heat of battle once earned him the respect of the Jedi and of his fellow clones. After years in service to General Obi-Wan Kenobi and working alongside his friend Captain Rex, when Darth Sidious executed Order 66, Cody’s loyalty was eclipsed by his clone indoctrination, and he ordered his troops to fire on the Jedi. But after serving the Galactic Empire for a time, Cody began to realize that the Empire’s idea of order called for brute force and bending the truth. And after leading a mission to secure the world of Desix in the name on the Emperor, Cody vanished.

As Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith marks its 20th anniversary, Ewan McGregor reflects on his iconic role as Obi-Wan Kenobi and the evolving legacy of the Star Wars prequels.
To some fans, Ewan McGregor’s portrayal of Obi-Wan Kenobi has become a cornerstone of the Star Wars saga. After a hiatus following Revenge of the Sith, McGregor returned to the role in the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi, which premiered in 2022. This return allowed him to delve deeper into the character’s complexities and the emotional aftermath of the prequels.
Reflecting on what Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars mean to him all these years later, McGregor tells Parade in an exclusive new interview, “I love it. I’m so much closer to it now than I ever was, in a way.”
“And after doing the Obi-Wan series and having met a lot of the kids who are now adults, who loved the prequels, so I’ve got a sort of connection to their love for those films that I didn’t used to know about,” he adds. “And so that made a big difference. Yeah. It’s nice.”
Upon their initial release, the Star Wars prequels received mixed reviews. However, over time, they have garnered a dedicated fanbase. McGregor noted, “Our films weren’t much liked when they came out, by my generation who loved the first ones. But now, it’s quite nice to feel that they were liked and feel that I can own it a bit more than I could then.”
This shift in perception highlights the lasting impact of the prequels on a new generation of fans.
The 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith serves as a testament to the film’s enduring influence. As fans celebrate this milestone, McGregor’s reflections offer a deeper appreciation for the film’s legacy and his contribution to the Star Wars universe.

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), directed by George Lucas, is the final installment of the prequel trilogy. Set during the final days of the Clone Wars, the film follows Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker as he becomes increasingly torn between his loyalty to the Jedi Order and his fear of losing his wife, Padmé Amidala. Manipulated by Chancellor Palpatine—secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious—Anakin ultimately falls to the dark side, becoming Darth Vader in a desperate attempt to save Padmé.
As Palpatine seizes control and transforms the Republic into the Galactic Empire, the Jedi are betrayed and nearly wiped out. Obi-Wan Kenobi confronts his former apprentice in a climactic duel, leaving Anakin scarred and broken. The film ends with the birth of Luke and Leia and sets the stage for the original Star Wars trilogy. Dark, emotional, and action-packed, Revenge of the Sith explores themes of power, loss, and the tragic fall of a hero.

It seems there is no stopping the demand for Obi-Wan Kenobi, as the series stays on top of the streaming charts for the second week in a row.
According to the website The Wrap, Parrot Analytics has shared streaming numbers that indicate Obi-Wan Kenobi has a strong lead over all other streaming series in terms of engagement, with “exceptional” engagement forty times greater than the average streaming series. Comparing the numbers to the week prior, the engagement has grown from 39.2 to 40 this week. Honestly these numbers are a bit of a guess in terms of determining real data. None of the streaming companies provide “honest” streaming numbers, and the only way to evaluate it currently is through the engagement numbers that Parrot Analytics comes up with…
This is surprising considering the nostalgic factor for fans of the Prequels and the hype train for another round of Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Vader. Disney also hyped the numbers for the first two episode by announcing that the show was the biggest opening of any series in Disney+ history. The numbers supposedly rivaled that of the hit streamer Stranger Things.
With fan demand for the series as high as it is, surely a second season is in the bag at Lucasfilm for this, although no official word has been made. At the end of Star Wars Celebration 2022, McGregor came back on stage unannounced to thank the fans for a great weekend, and made reference to more episodes (check the 3:05 mark of the video below).
I guess we will see if Disney has official plans for a second season soon enough…
About Obi-Wan Kenobi:
The story begins 10 years after the dramatic events of “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as evil Sith Lord Darth Vader. The series stars Ewan McGregor, reprising his role as the iconic Jedi Master, and also marks the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader. Joining the cast are Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton, Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell and Benny Safdie.
Start streaming the limited series May 25 on Disney+.
