Star Wars The Vintage Collection – Anakin Skywalker (Jedi Padawan) VC80 – The Phantom Menace (2011 Hasbro)
Released in 2011 as part of Wave 10 of Hasbro's Star Wars Vintage Collection, VC80 Anakin Skywalker (Jedi Padawan) brought prequel-era characters to the retro-card format for the first time — a meaningful milestone for collectors who grew up with the original Kenner line. Timed ahead of The Phantom Menace's 3D theatrical re-release, this figure was singled out by reviewers as a standout of its wave, praised for its premium articulation and screen-accurate Padawan tunic and belt detail at the 3.75-inch scale.
The figure is presented on a vintage-style black Kenner card bearing The Phantom Menace sub-branding, with the classic Star Wars logo and the VC80 number printed in the upper-right corner of the cardback. A contest sticker on the card front offered buyers the chance to win a life-sized Darth Maul statue signed by George Lucas — a period detail that adds authentic era character to the package. The card is complete and original, with the bubble remaining secure and the cardback displaying all 12 figures in the Phantom Menace wave alongside promoted vehicles including the V-19 Torrent Starfighter, AT-AP, and Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter. This example is a vintage original from the 2011 release.
VC80 is an essential piece for Vintage Collection completists building out the Phantom Menace wave alongside wave-mates like Darth Maul, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Queen Amidala. The figure's subsequent reissue is a testament to how well-received this release was, making the original 2011 card the preferred version for dedicated collectors. It displays beautifully carded and pairs naturally with the wider prequel-era Vintage Collection run.

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. 😎

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).
