The Black Series

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,758: Scout Trooper (Jedi: Fallen Order, The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, December 8, 2020

The Gaming Greats GameStop exclusive Scout Trooper (Jedi: Fallen Order, The Black Series 6-Inch) has some nice bonus gear, and a lack of dirt when compared to other releases.  I hope you got one.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,757: Todo 360 (The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, December 3, 2020

It's the Seth Green robot!  There was a Detours leak this week (which I seemingly missed) but I didn't miss Todo 360 (The Black Series 6-Inch), a Pulse exclusive after the adventure of 2020's convention season.  But was he worth the $10 upcharge - or the secondary market prices?  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,755: Teebo (The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 26, 2020

I know why you're thankful. Ewoks!  Hasbro finally made one in the 6-inch line with Teebo (The Black Series 6-Inch) who shares tooling with Paploo - and we'll look at him next year probably. (Hey, it's a big slate.)   With extra weapons and one of his two hoods, this figure manages to touch on a lot of what made the movie suit and Kenner's old figure great.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,754: Yoda (The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 24, 2020

This Yoda (The Black Series 6-Inch) is very tiny and has a bonus second head - also a Luke packaged with it.  You should probably get this 2-pack because Luke has exclusive gear in this pack, which makes the $40 price tag a bit easier to swallow.  Read on!

Target's Carbonized The Mandalorian Returning, Back Up for Pre-Order

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, November 23, 2020

3875 Target.com put up a page for what appears to be a new run of the Star Wars The Black Series Carbonized Collection The Mandalorian Toy Figure due early in 2021.  It's a very good figure - click here to read our review from earlier this year.  It's $5 more expensive than the previous release, but it also is cheaper than purchasing one on the secondary market. This is not the full Beskar mold, but rather the late 2019 version with a very shiny finish. 

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,752: Clone Trooper (Lieutenant, The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 17, 2020

If you are going to Walgreenses, you might be on the lookout for this Clone Trooper (Lieutenant, The Black Series 6-Inch) which uses the sculpt from a few years ago - and not the new 2020 model.  It matches the other troopers you've probably already bought. Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,750: Jango Fett (Gaming Greats, The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 10, 2020

This is a good example of a reissue, with changes.  While the unmasked face is a tad on the glossy side, the deco and new backpack on Jango Fett (Gaming Greats, The Black Series 6-Inch) are improved.  It's closer to the first appearance in Attack of the Clones, but not perfect - and it's different enough from the previous release that I don't mind having it.   Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,749: Clone Trooper (Kamino, The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, November 5, 2020

A new mold! You didn't ask for it, but instead of just a straight repaint the Clone Trooper (Kamino, The Black Series 6-Inch) is entirely new - and in some cases  better, and in some cases not.  The limbs no longer have visible pins, which is good - but the elbow and knee armor is a little strange now that it's a separate rubbery piece. The helmet is an actual helmet with a slug head underneath too, leading to some misshapen helmets.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,748: The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor, The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Tuesday, November 3, 2020

Complete with signet and jet pack, The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor, The Black Series 6-Inch) matches his look at the end of season one and, so far, the beginning of season two.   It's a retool of the first figure from 2019, but there's enough different that you're going to want one.   Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,747: Darth Vader (The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Friday, October 30, 2020

Sold in both 40th anniversary packaging and the new standard The Black Series boxes, Darth Vader (The Black Series 6-Inch) is partially new parts and partially old parts from a few years ago.  No respect, I swear.  Read on!

Star Wars Figure of the Day: Day 2,746: Heavy Battle Droid (Gaming Greats, The Black Series 6-Inch)

By Adam Pawlus — Thursday, October 29, 2020

If you like repaints with extra guns, this Heavy Battle Droid (Gaming Greats, The Black Series 6-Inch) is perfect.  Complete with Imperial and First Order tech, this uniquely painted Trade Federation trooper is just a little bit more interesting than your average droid. And as a GameStop exclusive, it's sold out unless they somehow find more in a bin somewhere. Read on!

Target's Galaxy's Edge R5-P8 and Commander Pyre 6-Inch Star Wars Black Series Coming This Weekend?

By Adam Pawlus — Monday, October 19, 2020

3867 Today Target.com listed Star Wars The Black Series Commander Pyre and Star Wars The Black Series R5-P8!  Commander Pyre is a rerelease of the figure sold at the theme parks last year (see Commander Pyre, FOTD #2,622) and looks largely the same.  The multi-pack at Disney parks also included a MSE droid.   R5-P8 is a debut - and the 6-inch scale action figures are supposedly hitting stores on Sunday.
