The Mon Calamari mastermind of the Rebel fleet's assault on the second Death Star returned to The Vintage Collection in 2021. This reissue of Admiral Ackbar captures his look from the command deck of the Home One during Return of the Jedi. While the 2010 original was a high point for alien sculpts, this 2021 refresh brought the figure into the modern era with significant aesthetic upgrades, ensuring the Rebellion’s premier strategist looks as sharp as his tactical mind.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Mon Calamari Silhouette: The sculpt remains a triumph of alien design, featuring the distinct bulbous eyes and salmon-colored skin of the Mon Calamari species. The figure captures his unique command uniform, complete with the specialized chest rank insignia and the flared trousers that define the Rebel naval aesthetic.
• Photo-Real Deco: The defining upgrade of this reissue is the application of Photo-real technology. This provides a striking, lifelike depth to his eyes and more nuanced shading on his skin, correcting the flatter paint applications of the 2010 predecessor. The white command tunic is finished with a cleaner matte application, contrasting perfectly with his organic features.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The ball-jointed torso and neck are essential for this figure, allowing Ackbar to lean over tactical displays or turn sharply to deliver his most famous warning.
• Display Utility: This is the mandatory "commander" for any Home One Bridge or Rebel Briefing diorama. He is best positioned in his command chair or standing alongside Lando Calrissian (VC193).

Accessories & Equipment

Admiral Ackbar comes prepared to coordinate a galactic-scale space battle. He includes his signature command baton, which he uses to emphasize tactical points on holographic displays. A standout feature of the 2021 release is the highly detailed data pad, featuring sculpted buttons and a screen interface. The figure also maintains the removable rank badge and the specialized Mon Calamari hand gestures, allowing collectors to recreate the authoritative presence he maintained while leading the Alliance to its greatest victory.
