It seems as though we have been celebrating the 40th anniversary of Star Wars for months now, but this Thursday, May 25 marks the actual 40 year mark since the original release of Star Wars in theaters. So it should come as no surprise that the Disney Store is celebrating the occasion with collectible merchandise. Thanks to Yahoo Movies, we have the first look at the lineup that will be available at Disney Stores on Thursday.
Han Solo and Luke Skywalker Elite Series Die-Cast Action Figures
These fully articulated deluxe 6-inch die-cast figures allow fans to fans to recreate the famous scene where the heroes disguise themselves as Stormtroopers to rescue Leia from the Death Star. Each $49.95 set includes both Han and Luke with detachable Stormtrooper helmets, two blasters, and two standing bases.
Tsum Tsum Plush Set
Luke, Leia, Han, and Artoo are all kinds of adorable in this special set of 2 ½-inch Tsum Tsums, Disney’s uber-popular line of plushies. The $19.95 collection comes in a box designed after the Millennium Falcon.
