Greedo (POTF2) — Star Wars The Black Series 50th Anniversary

Overview

Greedo (POTF2) is a Hasbro Pulse and ShopDisney exclusive in the Black Series 50th Anniversary sub-line, released in September 2021 at $26.49. This figure is a re-release of the original 2013 Black Series Greedo in 1995 Power of the Force inspired packaging — with one specific paint change: a slightly darker colour tone on the outfit compared to the 2013 original. The 50th Anniversary framing is the POTF2 tribute tier, the sub-line’s acknowledgment that the 1995 collector line is as much a part of Lucasfilm’s fifty-year legacy as any film.

Greedo is beautifully sculpted with well-hidden joints, a subtle dirt wash applied across the entire outfit, and a detailed blaster. No balancing issues even in action poses.

Articulation

19 joints. Ball-jointed neck, swivel neck, ball-jointed shoulders, ball-jointed elbows, ball-jointed wrists, ball-jointed waist, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, swivel joints above the knees, swivel joints below the knees, ball-jointed ankles.

The dual neck articulation — ball-jointed and swivel — gives Greedo useful head range for the cantina confrontation poses that define the character: the across-the-table lean, the weapon-raised moment, the specific body language of a bounty hunter who knows the situation is about to change. The well-hidden joints in a sculpt this detailed are worth noting — Rodian anatomy is unusual enough that concealing the articulation points requires considered engineering.

The figure stands reliably in action poses without requiring a stand, which matters for dynamic cantina display setups.

Accessories

3 accessories. Blaster, removable vest, removable belt.

The blaster is the standout: it fits precisely into Greedo’s right hand with the index finger able to reach the trigger, and it fits well into the holster on the belt. The holster is the right size for the weapon rather than loose or oversized. The belt itself opens at the front and can be fully removed from the figure — it’s a separate piece rather than sculpted on. The vest comes off easily.

The subtle dirt wash across the outfit is correctly done — enough to communicate that this is a working bounty hunter’s clothing rather than something fresh, not heavy enough to look deliberately distressed. Even the blaster has paint detailing: a brown wooden grip, a silver nozzle, and scratches and weathering on the body of the weapon. That level of accessory paint detail is above average for a $26.49 release.

The POTF2 Tribute

Power of the Force 2 launched in 1995 with a specific collector market in mind — adult fans who had grown up with the original Kenner line and now had money to spend on premium Star Wars figures. The POTF2 Greedo was one of the line’s recognisable secondary characters, in the distinctive POTF2 packaging with its green card art and the specific colour interpretations that 1995 manufacturing produced.

The 50th Anniversary release uses the darker colour tone as the tribute differentiator from the standard 2013 release. It’s a subtle change — both figures are Greedo in his cantina costume — but the specific darker tone references the POTF2 version’s colouring rather than the film’s lighter palette. For collectors who grew up with POTF2 Greedo and have a strong memory of that specific green, the 50th Anniversary version is the more personally resonant purchase.

POTF2 vs Kenner: The Two Greedo Versions

The 50th Anniversary sub-line produced two Greedo figures covering different tribute formats. This POTF2 version is the Pulse/ShopDisney release at $26.49 with three accessories including the removable vest. The Kenner version is the Amazon exclusive at $19.99 with two accessories — bright green Kenner tribute colouring and the removable belt but no vest.

The practical differences: the POTF2 version costs more, has the additional vest accessory, and uses a darker, more naturalistic green. The Kenner version is cheaper, has the brighter Kenner tribute green, and skips the vest. Both use the same underlying figure sculpt and articulation from the 2013 original.

For display purposes, both cover the Mos Eisley cantina context. For tribute purposes, the choice depends on which era’s aesthetic matters more to you — 1978 Kenner or 1995 POTF2.

Exclusive Distribution

Hasbro Pulse and ShopDisney exclusive at $26.49, September 2021. The dual-channel distribution — both Pulse and ShopDisney — gave this slightly better initial availability than pure single-channel Pulse exclusives, though both channels sold through. No variations recorded.

Secondary Market

Hasbro Pulse / ShopDisney exclusive 2021. Secondary prices typically $25–40.

Verdict

Greedo (POTF2) is a genuinely good figure — clean sculpt, well-hidden joints, precise blaster-to-hand fit with real trigger finger engagement, and accessory paint detailing above the expected level for this price point. The slightly darker POTF2 tribute colouring is the specific differentiator from the standard release. The vest adds display flexibility the Kenner version lacks. Hasbro Pulse / ShopDisney exclusive, $26.49.
