Feast your eyes on the top Star Wars Hasbro collectibles from Toy Fair 2018.

Toy Fair 2018 kicked off with a host of top toys for Star Wars fans. Whether you’re an old-school Jedi at heart, a clone cadet, or a secret member of the Resistance, there’s something for everyone in the lineup from Hasbro this year. The fair even saw the launch of HasLab’s first crowdfunded toy, and it nearly stole the show. With the exception of the crowdfunded piece, all toys are expected to release this year at select retailers and the Hasbro Toy Shop.

The Black Series of Star Wars toys never disappoints, and this year’s set is no different. The centerpiece of the 2018 Black Series captures the iconic moment in The Force Awakens when Kylo Ren stopped the bolt fired from an EL-16HFE blaster rifle and held it suspended in midair before turning it to his own purposes.

We will never get enough of everyone’s favorite princess, and her Hoth entry into the Black Series is well worth the wait. The collectible features almost every detail of her Hoth gear from The Empire Strikes Back and includes a handheld tool and set of goggles. “Carrie” on, Princess Leia.

Definitely one of the most striking, and controversial, characters of The Last Jedi, Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo is undeniably an inspiring and heroic figure in the Star Wars galaxy. The Black Series once again captures the features and wardrobe of an iconic leader of the Resistance with a sense of style and respect. “Godspeed, Rebels.”

Solo: A Star Wars Story joins the mix!

The Black Series also delivers one of our first looks at Tobias Beckett, as portrayed by Woody Harrelson, in Han Solo: A Star Wars Story. The suave criminal is said to be the mentor of young Han, and possibly Lando, and he looks great in his first real entry as a collectible figure.

The final top toy from the Black Series line is a nod to fans of The Clone Wars. Clone Commander Wolffe returns as he appeared following the loss of his eye during the war. Star Wars Rebels fans likely remember Wolffe as the clone trooper who lived with Captain Rex and commando Gregor on an abandoned AT-TE tank when the Lothal rebels came knocking.

If you’ve been following the Darth Vader series of comics from Marvel, you’re more than familiar with the first top pick in the recently reborn Star Wars Vintage collection. If not, you should check them out to see why Doctor Aphra easily won the fan favorite vote for the Vintage line.

This inexpensive collectible captures the charm of the archaeologist and weapon specialist, if not her wit, near perfectly.

The Supreme Leader is wise.

The exceptionally powerful Force-user and bathrobe model Supreme Leader Snoke gets his own Vintage collection toy to commemorate his passing in The Last Jedi. So many questions remain unanswered about this mysterious figure from beyond the known reaches of the Star Wars galaxy.

Never a slave to fashion, and still sporting Han Solo’s holdout sidearm, Rey looks quite stunning in her The Last Jedi Vintage collection appearance. One of the two most powerful Force users in the galaxy, she also has Anakin Skywalker’s lightsaber and a stylish cape-style piece that would make a certain Tibanna gas miner envious.

The Vintage collection also makes a great place to introduce new characters, and this collectible gives us our first hands-on look at the range trooper from Solo.

 Ready for combat in almost any environment, the Star Wars apparent take on Army Rangers is sure to make an impression on fans of all ages.

The heart of a child never leaves a Star Wars fan, does it?

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side.

We’re forced to admit that this almost standard-looking Nerf blaster makes the list for one key reason. It’s a new version of the Episode VII blaster reimagined for the Nerf Glowstrike line. That’s right when you fire it, the bolt glows in the dark. Blaster sounds not included, but we’ll make our own.

Okay, if the Nerf blaster is for the kid in us, who gets the Z6 riot control baton? The weapon almost as famous as its wielder’s battle cry of “Traitor!” is becoming a high-quality collectible, and it looks every bit as impressive as some of the more stylish official lightsabers. This is one display piece not to miss.

It’s Chewie! Ultimate Co-Pilot Chewie is probably the closest we’ll ever get to having our own Wookiee sidekick. The animated toy features 100 different responses to your actions and movements, complete with Kashyyyk-quality Shyriiwook grunts, growls and roars.

It’s a new Millennium Falcon! This version of the Falcon from the Solo film is now a toy that works with all of your other 3.5-inch collectibles to help reenact scenes from the upcoming movie. It’s also a spoiler, as Hasbro announced that many pieces fly off to simulate high-speed damage. It also looks like that forward cargo container is removable, though that wasn’t in the announcement.

These are two of the best toys to go with the new Millennium Falcon, but they may also be a spoiler for Solo. Why? The name of that person who isn’t the suavest guy in Cloud City. While we can easily recognize Lando Calrissian, the inclusion of a Kessel Security guard in his deluxe two-pack was a bit of a shock. Guess we’re off to the spice mines for sure in Solo.

Hasbro’s first crowdfunded Star Wars toy has already made an impression out of the gate. But who wouldn’t want a 4-foot long version of Jabba the Hutt’s sail barge? While it’s a bit pricey, the Khetanna could beat the Nixon series of watches as some of the most collectible items of all time. We’re not sure why there’s a rancor riding in the back, though.
