MCM London 2023 Reveals & Database Update!
10/29/2023 MCM London Comic Con 2023
MCM London Comic Con 2023 took place over this past weekend and Hasbro revealed several figures from the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection and Star Wars: The Black Series. Even though the Star Wars: The Retro Collection was on display at the show there were no new figures shown.
All the announced figures from this past weekend have been added to the website, including the pipeline reveals, and figures have also been updated with their numbering when available.
The Black Series line has a new category now on the website which is called Clones Of The Republic 2-packs where you can filter figures from this series out.
Reveals
For the Black Series 6" line Hasbro showed Queen Amidala and Anakin Skywalker from The Phantom Menace. Both figures had previously been pipeline revealed but it was the first time Hasbro showed what the figures looked like. Padme will come with two blasters and an extra right hand so that she can hold both weapons well in her hands. Anakin Skywalker will come with a backpack and when you consider that this is a smaller figure a few more accessories like a Podracer helmet would have been a nice to see included here (or how about including a Pit Droid?). Both figures are mainline releases in Spring 2024 and have an MSRP of 24.99USD.
Don't forget that a day prior to MCM London Comic Con 2023 Hasbro showed a Mace Windu & 187th Legion Clone Trooper 2-pack, along with the Black Series Paz Vizsla figure in Mandalorien mural packaging. You can learn about those reveals here: 1027 reveals for 2023.
Pipeline reveals for the Black Series included Darth Sidious from Episode 3, a Phase II Clone Trooper & B1 Battle Droid 2-pack and a 4-pack based on the last book in the Timothy Zahn novel trilogy with Luke Skywalker, Luuke Skywalker, Mara Jade and Joruus C'baoth.

For the Vintage Collection Hasbro showed the highly anticipated Count Dooku figure (new sculpt), a Phase I Clone Trooper (uses the new clone trooper body) and Finn (repaint with photo real portrait update). A day prior Hasbro also showed the repaint of Cassian Andor with updated photo real portrait.
Hasbro revealed that Kanan Jarrus and Zeb Orrelios from Star Wars Rebels are currently in development in their season 1 outfits, along with Ezra Bridger in his orange flight suit from the appearance in the Ahsoka TV series. It was also announced that Captain Enoch together with three Night Troopers will be released in 2024 as part of the troop builder program.
It was mentioned during the presentation that the prequel trilogy will take center stage in 2024. With multiple Black Series 6" figures already revealed, and an entire wave of Retro figures from Episode 1 already announced, this upcoming development will be closely monitored with keen interest! So stay tuned and keep an eye on GalacticFigures.com for forthcoming Star Wars action figure announcements!
