By Meg Dowell
Some of us never outgrow our love of toys — which is why Hasbro and other companies keep making them. When it comes to Star Wars, everything from the films to the merchandise is technically kid-friendly. But everyone knows the grown-ups are the ones spending their hard-earned cash on the latest collectibles, even if they’re the recipient collectors.
This year’s Hasbro PulseCon revealed a handful of new collectible merchandise for all ages to anticipate and enjoy. From figures to lightsabers and playsets galore, here’s a rundown of everything new Hasbro announced in its Star Wars line last week.
Black Series 6-inch figures
Black Series figures are some of the most sought-after Star Wars collectibles on the market, and with the global supply chain being what it is right now, your best bet in getting the figures you want is to pre-order sooner rather than later. Hasbro just announced a handful of new 6-inch figures to add to your collection, including:

The above figures are expected to release spring 2022. Pre-orders are live on Hasbro Pulse now.
Leia Organa’s lightsaber: Black Series edition

The Leia Organa Force FX Elite Lightsaber includes her stunning hilt and bright blue blade, and will ship starting in fall 2022. You can pre-order the saber now for $264.99.
Vintage Collection figures
In addition to 6-inch figures, the Black Series line also includes vintage 3.75-inch collectibles of your favorite Star Wars characters old and new. Hasbro PulseCon 2021 revealed an entirely new set of vintage figures set to release spring 2022, including:
