Hasbro Pulse is expanding the movie-inspired Star Wars Vintage Collection roster with a heavier mechanical troop option. Confirmed via Hasbro Pulse's official product page, the Vintage Collection Mercenary Droid figure is priced at $19.99 on Tuesday, July 28, 2026 and is currently listed as a pre-order.
This is a current official product page, so here is what is actually confirmed.
Hasbro Pulse's official listing confirms the following:
That gives the figure a different role from a named hero or bounty hunter release.
A lot of Vintage Collection figures live or die on character recognition. A mercenary droid has a different strength: it is the kind of release that can populate a scene or support a bigger shelf setup without needing a huge biography to justify it. That makes it especially useful for collectors who want a more populated movie display.
The rifle matters, but the blaster effect is what helps the figure feel more active right out of the box. On smaller-scale figures, effect pieces can do a lot of work in making an otherwise rigid pose feel more alive.
Because this is the kind of release people often buy to support a broader Star Wars shelf, smaller accessory management matters. For keeping weapons and effect parts organized, an acrylic modular case is a practical fit. For elevating the droid around hero figures or other support characters, a 4-step acrylic display stand helps create better depth.

3.75 inches.
A rifle and blaster effect accessories.
It works best as a force-building or scene-support figure in a broader Star Wars setup.
This is the kind of Vintage Collection release that may end up more useful than flashy. The Mercenary Droid looks built to strengthen a movie-era shelf without demanding center-stage status, and that can make it one of the more practical current Star Wars pre-orders.
