Star Wars: The Vintage Collection – Admiral Ackbar (Return of the Jedi) VC22 (2021 Hasbro)
Admiral Ackbar occupies one of the most recognisable slots in Hasbro's Vintage Collection — VC22 — and his connection to Return of the Jedi makes him a cornerstone piece for any MOC display focused on that film. Launched in 2010, the Vintage Collection was designed from the ground up to evoke the original Kenner 3.75-inch aesthetic, and VC22 delivers on that promise with a black-bordered cardback that mirrors the ROTJ retail packaging that defined a generation of Star Wars collecting.
This example is presented in vintage condition, carded and unopened. The card features the iconic "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" logo with a movie-still insert behind the clear blister, the period-correct Kenner logo at lower right, and item number VC22 printed top-right of the back. The cardback displays the full eight-figure wave alongside Ackbar — including Boba Fett, Emperor's Royal Guard, and Princess Leia (Bespin Escape) — giving the reverse strong visual appeal in its own right. The bubble seats the figure on a green tray, and the card shows the honest wear expected of a vintage-condition collectible.
For TVC enthusiasts, VC22 carries added depth: the slot has a documented "Revenge of the Jedi" cardback variant that makes it a target for variant hunters, and the figure's tooling relationship with the Black Series line is a talking point in the collecting community. Whether displayed as a standalone MOC piece or integrated into a wider ROTJ wave run, this is a characterful addition that rewards the serious Star Wars collector.

Jays is my first stop in collecting. I preorder things through Walmart, Amazon, Hasbro Pulse, etc., but Jays always seem to get the items and either meet or beat the other companies pricing. I always end up cancelling my pre-orders and going with Jays. Better selection, price and MUCH MUCH better shipping quality. You can't even compare anyone else's shipping and packing to Jays. And that's why Jay's blows them all out of the water.
Great fast shipping, packaging with care. I am definitely buying from Jay's again! Such peace of mind knowing my items will arrive minty. 5 stars!
Perfect and careful packaging, shipped super quick. Thank you, will definitely be following the store!
Didn't pull any punches in item description. Came extremely fast and well packed. Extremely happy being a first time buyer! Thank you.
I've been buying from Jay's for a while now and I am never disappointed with the experience. Prices that can't be beat, easy PayPal option, and lots of bubble wrap surrounding the products. The fact that they go out of their way to make consumers happy keeps me coming back.
This is my 3rd or 4th time I have ordered from Jay's. The orders are always correct and arrive pretty quick and packaged extremely well. Best in the industry.

Yep. We’ve been hunting plastic treasures since the ‘90s. We speak fluent collector (MOC, BAF, grail hunting), we’ve camped outside stores for midnight releases, and we run this place like the shop we always wished existed. Professional enablers at your service. 😎
30 days to decide if it’s true love. Not happy? Full refund to your original payment method. Damaged? We replace or refund fast. Just keep items in the condition you got them, and we’ll make it right — because the only drama in collecting should be choosing a display pose. One exception: trading card game product is final sale, since a sealed box can’t be verified once it leaves our hands.
Calling dibs costs you $0 today — we only charge your card when it ships. No awkward “I paid months ago” limbo. Mixing in-stock + pre-orders? In-stock ships now; pre-orders ship together once the last one lands, and shipping’s charged on each leg (pro tip: check ship dates before combining pre-orders). Dates can shift — we’ll keep you posted faster than Spider-Man slings webs. And if we ever can’t deliver (rare), you’re not charged a dime.
