The newest acquisition to my ever growing Star Wars
collection is Doctor Aphra from The Vintage Collection line. Doctor Aphra is
part of the Marvel Star Wars universe who made her first appearance in issue #3
of the Darth Vader comic series. Based on her popularity, she now has her own
on-going monthly series.
One of the things I have enjoyed about Star Wars collecting
over the years, is when Hasbro makes Star Wars figures based on characters from
books, comic books, and video games. To me, it's like your favorite characters
from these mediums getting that extra little nod of acknowledgement. So when I
see these guys, I usually like to scoop them up right away. Doctor Aphra was
the winner of Hasbro's Fan Choice Poll in 2017 which earned her a spot as part
of the Vintage Collection line. The figure was also released as a SDCC 2018
exclusive with her two droids from the Marvel Star Wars comic series.
Doctor Aphra's only accessories are her blaster and
removable vest, but she is still is one fantastic figure. The sculpting and
extra details on her honestly makes it looks as if she stepped off the pages of
the comics. While I missed out on the SDCC multipack, I do hope that down the
line they release her droids as part of this series and keep the
"new" expanded universe figures coming.
