In 2018, Hasbro began releasing Micro Force figures in blind bag 2-packs. Micro Force is described as “a line of squishable and easily collectible micro figures”. If this sounds familiar or looks familiar, it’s because this is a re-branding of Hasbro’s Fighter Pods line from 2012 (see that checklist below).
“Collect the Galaxy of fan-favorite characters with the STAR WARS MICRO FORCE Blind Bags Assortment. Each figure has a squishable feel and unique pose, creating an exciting new way to bring iconic STAR WARS scenes to life! These stylized and movie-inspired micro collectibles include iconic characters such as REY, FINN, DARTH VADER, LUKE SKYWALKER, PRINCESS LEIA ORGANA, HAN SOLO, CHEWBACCA, YODA, R2-D2, and more.”
