Obi-Wan Wednesdays reveals Darth Vader, purge trooper toys and more
By Meg Dowell
The lead-up to The Book of Boba Fett introduced waves of new Star Wars toys, apparel, and more unlike anything fans had seen in quite some time. Weekly Star Wars merchandise drops continued through the show’s run, and a similar strategy has continued throughout the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. They call it Obi-Wan Wednesdays.
So far, fans have been treated to a variety of Funko Pop! figures, Black Series collectibles, and more. The fifth week of releases followed suit with several options for the die-hard Darth Vader collectors out there. Plus, O’Shea Jackson Jr.’s character gets his own Funko. How cool is that?
Two new Funko Pop! figures will be available for pre-order soon: Kawlan Roken and Darth Vader (#543), a GameStop exclusive version from this week’s episode (another Vadeer Funko Pop! in the Obi-Wan Kenobi line has previously been released).
Hasbro also released two new figures in its Black Series line: Purge Trooper and 1-JAC, which will be available exclusively at Walmart starting tomorrow, June 16.
Additionally, Hasbro announced a new figure in its The Vintage Collection (TVC) line: Darth Vader (The Dark Times). Pre-orders also open on June 16 for this figure.
The Star Wars Mission Fleet Airspeeder Showdown is Hsbro’s final contribution to this list, featuring Sully Stark in his T-47 Airspeeder. Hasbro’s Star Wars: Mission Fleet series features a variety of ships and pilots that are great for both display and play.
Obi-Wan Wednesdays releases will continue through the end of the series, and many of the products being announced are either still available or haven’t officially been released to the public yet. It’s not too late to celebrate your love of Obi-Wan Kenobi with a few new collectibles.
