The Star Wars Original Trilogy Collection was released during Fall 2004 to support the release of the Original Trilogy on DVD. The toy line consisted mainly of slightly altered or differently painted figures which had been released before. However, there were some highlights in this series, such as a modern version of the Blue Snaggletooth or a newly sculpted Dagobah Luke Skywalker with an alternate head and arms.
