What’s Happening:
- Ever since “May the 4th” took hold, some folks have been pushing to have “Revenge of the 6th” become an extended part of the Star Wars Day celebration; now whether or not we as fans fully embrace it, this year Hasbro is.
- The toy maker has allowed the Dark Side to take over as they revealed two new collectible figure sets in their Black Series line:
- The Jedi: Survivor three pack is based on the sequel game to Jedi: Fallen Order and presents three of the deadly droids that cause plenty of trouble for protagonist Cal Kestis. These menacing figures are equipped with various weapons that are painful in practice, but awesome for display.
- Hasbro then jumps back to the Original Trilogy with a spotlight on Emperor Palpatine and his sleek black throne from the final battle in Return of the Jedi. The figure is dressed in his hooded robe and even features alternate hands with Force lightning.
- As always figures in the Black Series are 6-inch scale and feature premium deco along with multiple points of articulation for imaginative play or dynamic display.
- Fans will find both Black Series Star Wars collectibles available for pre-order exclusively at Amazon. Prices range from $44.99-$69.99 and items are expected to ship in Fall 2024, and Spring 2025.
