The Story
Yoda first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back in 1980, introduced not as a warrior but as a small, strange hermit in the swamps of Dagobah before revealing himself as the Grand Master who trained the Jedi for some 900 years. He shaped generations of Jedi from the Council chamber, survived the fall of the Order after Order 66, and chose exile over pride while he waited for a new hope. In Return of the Jedi in 1983 he passed at peace and became one with the Force, the state the prequel and sequel films would build so much of their mythology around. Across the saga he sits at the moral center, the teacher behind names like Luke Skywalker, and a mirror image of the young Jedi lineage carried by the first Grogu NFT of the same species.
VeVe tags all three variants First Appearance, its marker that a collectible is the character's genuine debut on the platform. Rather than three poses of the same moment, the set is built as three beats of Yoda's arc: the wise Master, a signature display of power, and his final transcendence.
The Common Yoda is the quiet center of the set: cane in hand, calm in his eyes, the Master carrying the weight of failure and survival and still choosing to guide. The Rare, Yoda - Focus, draws from one of his clearest demonstrations on Dagobah, calmly raising Luke's sunken X-wing from the swamp to prove that limits are learned, not real. The Secret Rare, Yoda - One With The Force, captures his luminous legacy as a Force spirit, enduring beyond the physical world.

The Three Variants
The blind box held three sculpts of Yoda at lengthening odds. The Common was the easy get, the Secret Rare Force-spirit the chase.
Edition Breakdown
| Tier | Editions | Pull Odds | Cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common | 1,980 | 1 in 1.56 | Yoda, cane in hand |
| Rare | 880 | 1 in 3.63 | Yoda - Focus, raising the X-wing |
| Secret Rare | 280 | 1 in 12.04 | Yoda - One With The Force, Force spirit |
Total mint across the three tiers is 3,140 editions. VeVe withheld 50 from the Common, 50 from the Rare, and 30 from the Secret Rare, and burned none, so circulating supply sits a touch under those headline counts.
Market Context
This was a Season 11 blind box under the Star Wars license, carrying VeVe's standard 8.50% market fee. By 2026 standards these are small print runs: 3,140 total across all three tiers is far below the tens of thousands VeVe minted for its early Marvel and Star Wars vehicle drops. The 280-edition Secret Rare in particular is one of the scarcer Star Wars firsts the platform has released. As a May 2026 drop, this set launched on the Collect blockchain, VeVe's own chain after the January 2026 migration, and trades through the in-app market and the StackR marketplace.
The first status is permanent. However many Yoda figures VeVe releases later, this May 2026 set will always be his debut on the platform.
Collector's Note
Yoda is a headline name with a small print run, an unusual combination on VeVe and the main reason this set is worth attention. The Common is a clean, affordable way in for a character this central, while the Secret Rare Force spirit is the crown jewel at 280 editions. The Rare Focus figure may be the best value play: a strong, story-specific sculpt at a fraction of the Secret Rare supply without the top-tier price. All three variants trade on the VeVe secondary market, and the Common sometimes lists near or below the original $50 retail. New to VeVe? Grab $10 off your first purchase.
