Christmas may be a few months off still but, Hasbro has released a new line of Star Wars figures and merch at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. In addition to the revealed Jedi Survivor figures we got our first look at the upcoming line.
First up we got a glimpse at the Black Series Darth Vader Force FX Lightsaber that comes with LED lighting and advanced sounded effects this lightsaber promises to be the most advanced and realistic model yet! Next, we got a good look at the figures from the upcoming Respawn Entertainment game Jedi Survivor featuring an aged-up Cal Kestis as well as a Battle Droid and K series droid.
Everyone’s favorite scene stealer from The Mandalorian Grogu has a new Black-series figure coming out in spring of 2023. The figure sits at six inches and comes with an assortment of 7 various entertainment inspired accessories. Fans of the actor/comedian Bill Burr may have been surprised to see him take on the role of Migs Mayfield but, even he will now get his very own figure. The six-inch figure will come with 2 series inspired accessories and is set to hit shelves spring 2023 as well. Other figures from the Black-series line include HK-87, the shattered Empires robotic version of a Dark Stormtrooper and Luke Skywalker himself as seen in the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian both available spring 2023.
The Book of Boba Fett sees a couple of vintage collectible items such as Boba Fett’s Starship and a cloaked version of the popular bounty hunter.
Halloween is just around the corner and Star Wars has our backs with their Black-series Halloween figures. Clone Troopers decked out in black armor but with a twist. Each one is painted with glow in the dark skeleton on their armor in spooky style. We also got a glimpse at a Halloween decorated Wookie holding a Jack-O-Lantern trick or treating bucket. These specific figures will launch fall of 2022 and will make the perfect collectible for Halloween and Star Wars fans alike.
