It's the neighborhood bar where you don't want anyone to know your name -- the Mos Eisley Cantina. This summer, Kmart will carry an all new Cantina Aliens Scene Pack, with silver and black Original Trilogy Collection packaging. This scene includes three unsavory characters -- the homicidal Dr. Evazan, the droid-hating bartender Wuher, and the oversized mantis Kitik Keed'kak. The set comes with three sections of the bar and six stools with multiple drinking mugs to recreate the unforgettable watering hole from A New Hope.

As previously reported, Hasbro's Original Trilogy Collection product line includes premium "vintage packaged" figures -- new toys with packaging that echoes their original Kenner action figure release. Here's a closer look at a pair of classic characters from the Episode V assortment.

The Empire Strikes Back introduced the world to Yoda, the 900-year-old Jedi Master that trained two of the most important Jedi in recent history, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.

The Yoda figure has some exciting new features that distinguish it from the 1980 original. The original Yoda came with a u-shaped snake that only worked to hang around his neck; the new Yoda comes with a u-shaped snake that can be coiled around his neck, cane, or arm. In addition, the new Yoda is the first to have leg articulation, which is a difficult design feature to accomplish on such a small figure.

Though small, this Yoda has 10 points of articulation, including a ball-jointed head/neck and both shoulders. He has angled bicep articulation and standard articulation at the wrists, waist, and legs. Sculpted holding his cane (also known as a gimer stick), Yoda wears his Dagobah necklace and comes with a soft goods skirt and removable soft goods cloak.

In Empire, audiences learned just how bad Vader could be. This action figure features enhanced sculpting and articulation that allow for the recreation of several of Episode V's key scenes. The ball-jointed knees, shoulders and angled biceps allow for Vader to kneel before the Emperor in his meditation chamber. His left hand is sculpted to place around another figure's neck. To allow for greater flexibility, this figure is equipped with a soft plastic belt that was molded as a separate piece and is trapped at his lower back.

The vintage Darth Vader has a total of 12 points of articulation including angled biceps and ball-jointed head, shoulders and knees. He has standard articulation at his wrists, waist, and hips. Outfitted in a classic black soft-goods skirt and outer cloak, the vintage Vader comes with both a fully extended lightsaber and hilt.

The Original Trilogy Collection - Vintage Figures Wave 2 is available now for pre-order at StarWarsShop.com.
