Via Starwars.com:

Twenty years ago, Kenner (purchased by Hasbro in 1991) released their first wave of “modern” Star Wars action figures in 1995. Most fans remember these figures for their exaggerated musculature and wrestler-like stance. There were nine characters in all from A New Hope — including the infamous Princess Leia figure — packaged in reddish cards with Vader’s helmet as the signature sign of the line. A rather small photo (compared to the vintage cards) was shown on the front of the card, while the back offered a biography of the character and a lineup of the other figures and vehicles.

Do you remember what was included in the next wave of Hasbro’s modern figures? Let’s find out!

Wave 2 (December 1995)

Luke Skywalker (X-wing Pilot Gear): This figure shows Luke in his Rogue Leader outfit from The Empire Strikes Back and includes a DL-44 blaster and lightsaber. The lightsaber can be short or long (Kenner replaced the early long lightsabers with shorter versions). The figure has a nice amount of details — especially on the helmet — and can even be considered a debut figure since the vintage Luke X-wing pilot was based on his appearance from A New Hope. Like the previous Luke, this toy suffers from being too muscular, but has an improved stance.

Lando Calrissian: This muscular incarnation of Lando is based on his appearance at Cloud City. Lando’s cape can be attached to an opening in his back. While the cape isn’t too loose, it certainly won’t remain attached under any circumstances either. Lando comes with an oversized blaster rifle (based on the vintage Cloud City blaster) and a slightly different E-11 blaster. His stance and likeness are not that bad, but his muscles (he even has a six pack) make him look more like an ally of He-Man instead of the charming Baron Administrator of Cloud City.
