Pre-Orders Coming for Four New Star Wars: The Black Series Figures
I have no idea what Hasbro is doing with their Star Wars line, but their SDCC 2022 panel was a huge disappointment. Somehow one of the biggest Pop Culture franchises has been turned into a joke with a line of repaints and re-releases. It is honestly mind-boggling that Hasbro keeps releasing the same stuff over and over and gives only fans a handful of new products over a year. With the arrival of windowless packaging, I feel like the Star Wars line is going to be hit the hardest as that is one of those lines that has a lot of Mint-In-Box collectors. However, Hasbro is still dishing out some new reveals, even if they are things we have already seen before with four "new" Star Wars: The Black Series figures.
All four of these figures are from The Mandalorian, starting with a new $24.99 release of Grogu. Hasbro is now selling The Child as a solo release instead of with a Mando this time with all the same accessories as previous releases. Migs Mayfield is back yet again with an updated Season 1 release featuring Bill Burr in all his space glory. The new NK Security droid is also finally arriving with a blaster and will feature the new windowless packaging. The final and best Star Wars: The Black Series figure is The Mandalorian Season 2 finale Luke Skywalker. Luke is back with black cloak, green lightsaber, and just as badass as ever with a figure that features an updated design. New packages and updated details are featured, so Star Wars fans can update their collection with pre-orders dropping today. All four figures are dropping today at 5 PM EST at most retailers like right here.
