Hasbro Unveils Playful Star Wars Black Series Figures for May the 4th
Just when you thought Stormtroopers couldn’t get any more iconic, they’ve officially gotten… a sense of humor. In celebration of Star Wars Day, Hasbro has unveiled a brand-new wave of collectibles in its premium Star Wars: The Black Series, and this time, they’re leaning into the fun side of the Force.
This special edition lineup reimagines three classic characters, a Stormtrooper, Scout Trooper, and B1 Battle Droid, with a playful twist that blends humor with the high-quality design collectors expect. Each figure stands at 6 inches tall, features premium detailing and articulation, and comes outfitted with a soft goods T-shirt that adds a surprising, modern spin to these legendary designs.
Star Wars: The Black Series B1 Battle Droid - $27.99
The B1 Battle Droid figure embraces its iconic personality with a cheeky “Roger Roger Robotics” T-shirt, a nod to its memorable line delivery throughout the saga. It also includes a blaster accessory and a “target practice” poster featuring Anakin Skywalker, adding an extra layer of storytelling for display. This version will be available exclusively at Target in Spring 2026.
Star Wars: The Black Series Scout Trooper - $27.99
The Scout Trooper gets a laid-back makeover with an “Endor Biker Club” T-shirt, giving a playful wink to its time speeding through forest terrain. The included target poster spotlights Wicket W. Warrick, tying the figure back to the Endor setting fans know and love. Collectors can find this release through select fan channel retailers.
Star Wars: The Black Series Stormtrooper - $27.99
Perhaps the most tongue-in-cheek of the trio, the Stormtrooper figure sports a “Pew! Pew! Pew! Squad Goals” T-shirt, leaning fully into fandom humor. It also comes with a blaster and a target poster featuring Han Solo, one of the galaxy’s most beloved heroes. This figure will be available exclusively at Walmart.
While the tone may be playful, the craftsmanship remains serious. Each figure includes multiple points of articulation, detailed sculpting, and window-box packaging featuring the signature black-and-yellow design, complete with a special “5.04” collector number marking Star Wars Day.
For a franchise known for epic battles and sweeping storytelling, this collection is a reminder that Star Wars has always had a sense of humor. Whether it’s a droid’s catchphrase or a trooper’s aim, these figures celebrate the lighter side of the galaxy while still honoring its legacy. And with May the 4th around the corner, there’s no better time to add a little fun to your collection.
