Luke Skywalker (Death Star Escape)
Barnesandnoble.com has marked down Black Series 6" action figures drastically. There are some downsides, most of them are sold out online, but if you give it a shot you might just get lucky. Black Series 6" Dewbacks and Rey's Speeders are marked down to $14.99 each, they are sold out online, but you can check your local store availability and pick it up there. 15 bucks for a Black Series Dewback or Rey's Speeder? Wow!
The new Black Series 6" Archive figures are marked down to $4.99 each, again they are sold out online, but you can check store availability in your area online.
They also have the fantastic Black Series FX Kylo Ren lightsaber marked down to $49.98 and the FX Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber is marked down to $43.74, and both are available online!
Here is how we experienced Target's special, or not so special May 12th, 20019, read on!
It looks as if Target.com moved the Vintage Collection Han Solo (Stormtrooper), the Black Series 6" Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper) and the Star Wars Retro Collection to in-stock at 12am EST. The Retro Collection sold out online within a few minutes and Target removed the figures entirely from their website. The Vintage Collection Han Solo (Stormtrooper) is readily available with in-store pick up, but the Black Series Luke Skywalker figure appears to be limited in availability with most stores in our area (Seattle) only carrying one or none at all.
Update: The Black Series 6" Luke Skywalker (Stormtrooper) sold out.
We don't know why Target decided to make this coming Sunday special for Star Wars action figure collectors, but this coming Sunday May 12th 2019, is the day when the street date will be lifted for several new Star Wars figures.
We have a list of figures which should be on store shelves and the corresponding DPCI numbers so you can ask a customer service manager to help you spend your money, have a look!
Happy May The Fourth!
If you've missed the previously Toys'R'Us exclusive Black Series 6" Clone Commander Gree figure then you get a second chance! Entertainment Earth is now taking pre-orders for this figure which will ship later this year, have a look!
Here is a Black Series 3.75" action figure set which a lot of collectors missed out on. In late 2017, right before the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Amazon Italy sold an exclusive cinema box set which included a Black Series 3.75" Han Solo figure.
The set featured the Hasbro and Black Series logos. The box included two movie theater tickets to see The Last Jedi, a BB-8 colored car charger, a BB-8 colored micro USB cable, BB-8 colored headphones, two headphone attachments for different ear sizes and the Han Solo figure. The set was limited to 500 pieces only and cost 49,99 Euros, which is currently $56.08 in the U.S. Needless to say, with only 500 sets made, and availability restricted to only Amazon Italy, this is the rarest of all Black Series 3.75" sets made. This was the last puzzle piece to our full Black Series 3.75" archive, have a look here for all figures made in this series: Star Wars Black Series 3.75" toy line.

At this point we don't know yet how this version of Kylo Ren and the Mouse Droid will be distributed outside of the Disney Parks.

The archive line, which shipped to stores in January 2019 for the first time, includes re-issues of previously available Black Series figures.

We've just received a notification from Entertainment Earth informing us that following items are now available on their website:
Black Series 6" Captain Phasma
The Vintage Collection Tie Fighter
Force Link 2.0 Kessel Mine Playset
If you've been collecting for the last year you know that the Kessel Mine playset and the Vintage Collection Imperial Tie Fighter were previously exclusive to Walmart and that Captain Phasma and Zuckuss can also be found at Disney Stores. It's troubling to see how exclusive Star Wars toys are being swapped around behind the scenes these days. Great for us however is that Entertainment Earth is a specialty collectors shop which means minty mint packaging and customer service.
You can now pre-order the Black Series General Grievous figure at Entertainment Earth! This figure is being released in the XL Black Series line, it's taller than a regular figure (and hence costs more). Check it out!
New images of the up-coming Black Series General Grievous figure have shown up online today. The figure will cost $29.99, it will not be exclusive to any store, and it will be the first released figure in The Black Series' new XL assortment. We'll keep you posted on the main page once the figure goes up for pre-order, meanwhile check out those fantastic images:

Here is a look at everything that we know thus far for The Black Series 6" line for 2019. We predict that we'll see most of the figures before the Summer is over, because Disney/Lucasfilm and Hasbro will certainly gear up for Star Wars: Episode IX in the Fall with figures based on the new Star Wars movie.
Let's take a look at what has been revealed so far.
Hasbro announced during New York Comic Con 2018 that a new format will join The Black Series family called Black Series XL. This gives us fans the opportunity to get figures in the Black Series which are bigger and taller. This is similar to the Gamorrean Guard and Moloch figures which are currently exclusively available at Target stores. With the bigger format however comes a bigger price, which will be $29.99. We don't know yet if those figures will be numbered.
The very first figure which we can look forward to is the fan-favorite General Grievous from Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith. The figure will come with a premium soft-goods cape which has pockets on the inside for all the lightsaber hilts. General Grievous will have two arms which can be extended out into a four arm battle stance and Hasbro will include four lightsabers and one droid blaster. The figure will be out in Spring 2019.
We've taken a close look at every single Star Wars Black Series 6" figure released in 2018, we took pictures of every figure from every angle, we wrote down what we liked about each one and what we didn't like, we discussed every database entry with you, our readers, and we talked about most of them on our Toy Run podcast. So here are our favorite TOP 10 Black Series Star Wars figures from 2018!
Rio Durant was released just recently but he has become one of our favorite Black Series figures in 2018. Hasbro gave the figure four movable arms, four elbows and four wrists, but most importantly the figure has the correct height and just looks like the character in the movie. It has a working holster, comes with two blasters and removable goggles. It's an overall well executed figure and the Ardennian compliments Beckett's crew perfectly!
You can now find Princess Leia Organa (Hoth) from The Black Series 6" in the database. For all the info have a look here:
Black Series Princess Leia Organa (Hoth) #75
We've added Dengar from Hasbro's Black Series 6" line to the database. For all the information about this figure have a look here:
We've taken a look at the Imperial Patrol Trooper from Hasbro's Black Series 6" line, check it out:
Black Series Imperial Patrol Trooper #72
We've added Lando Calrissian's droid L3-37 from Hasbro's The Black Series 6" line to the database. To find out more about the figure have a look here please:
We've added VAL from Hasbro's 6" Black Series to the database. For all the details about this action figure have a look here:

Entertainment Earth will sell a limited number of Black Series 6" European Convention exclusive 2-packs starting at 9am PST on November 6th, 2018. The set will cost $49.99 and feature an exclusive Han Solo (Hoth) figure with brown coat. The set also comes with exclusive accessories and a Princess Leia (Hoth) figure. Get your set here!
We've added the Black Series 6" Disney Store exclusive Captain Phasma (Quicksilver Baton) to the database, have a look here for all the info:
Captain Phasma (Quicksilver Baton)
The Disney Store has new Black Series 6" figures for sale today including Black Series Zuckuss, Stormtrooper with Blast Effect and the battle damaged Captain Phasma from Episode 8! Originaly all three figures were going to be Toys'R"us exclusives in the United States, but with TRU having gone out of business earlier in the year, those Black Series figures needed a new home!
You can find all three figures on the Disney Store website and if you spend more than $75 you can use promo code SHIPMAGIC. for free shipping: Zuckuss, Stormtrooper at #24.95, Captain Phasma for $19.95, or pick them up in your local store (please call ahead to make sure they have them)
We've received the press release from Hasbro including press images. Now we know that the Black Series 6" Mace Windu figure will be available in Spring 2019 in the main line. The Vintage Collection Poe Dameron figure will be released in the main line during Fall 2019.
Mace Windu is an all new figure and the figure's likeness is based on Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, have a look at the comparison images below. Even though the Vintage Collection 3 3/4" Poe Dameron figure is a re-release of the 3 3/4" Black Series figure, it will be updated with the new face printing technology. This release feels boring because the Walmart exclusive 3 3/4" Black Series figure has been peg warming for a long time but keep in mind that the Vintage Collection is just as much about the packaging as it is about the figure.
During Lucca Comic and Games in Italy Hasbro revealed new figures! The first one is The Vintage Collection Poe Dameron (re-release of the Black Series 3 3/4" figure) but now with photo real face deco and The Black Series 6" Mace Windu with soft-goods Jedi robe!
We'll post proper images of the figures once we get them, please check back!

Hasbro has sent press images to media outlets of their newly announced Black Series 6" Padme Amidala and the 3 3/4" Vintage Collection Chewbacca. Both figures will be available in Spring 2019, they are part of the main lines and not exclusives.

Today the official Star Wars Show on YouTube featured a brief look at Hasbro's up-coming Star Wars Black Series Archive Collection, and the official Star Wars website published an article to go with it. If you've been reading JediBusiness.com, then you are familiar with almost everything mentioned in the article except for how many figures in total we'll see in the Black Series Archive line in 2019. Steve Evans, Design Director at Hasbro for Star Wars, had this to say:
Of the more than 160 Black Series figures already released or announced, Evans says the Archive line will be limited to a select few, with just seven being released in 2019. “We want to make sure that we only bring back the figures that are really wanted, really needed and will benefit from this,” he says.
Hereby Steve Evans confirmed to StarWars.com that we'll see a total of seven Black Series 6" figures released in the Black Series Archive line in 2019. This means we already know everything coming in the Black Series Archive series for all of 2019. The links will take you to the official press images:
We've added the Black Series 6" European Convention Exclusive Han Solo (Hoth) & Princess Leia (Hoth) 2-pack to the database. The 2-pack first debuted at Noris Force Con in Germany on Sept. 21st and will it will later be sold at MCM Comic Con London, Paris Comic Con and the Luca Comic & Games festival in Italy. A limited number of sets will be made available on November 6th, 2018 through HasbroToyShop.com. To learn more about each figure have a look here:
Black Series 6" Han Solo (Hoth)
Black Series 6" Princess Leia (Hoth)
We've added the Walgreens exclusive General Veers to the datase. The figure is part of the Black Series 6" line by Hasbro, to learn more about it have a look here:
The Black Series 6" General Veers
You can now find the Black Series 6" Zuckuss from Hasbro in the database. In the United States this figure will be a Disney Store exclusive in early November. For more information about the figure have a look here:
We are five years into Hasbro's The Black Series 6" line and are very happy with the quality and the constant improvements made to the figures. We've seen the photo real face printing technology being added and we've just recently seen the first figures with an improved neck, which allows for a wider range of head movement. The quality of the figures is fantastic, they look great on display and the line is a ton of fun to collect.
Currently The Black Series is a mix of characters from all Star Wars entertainment without a dedicated sub-line to place an exclusive focus on current Star Wars media. Hasbro is trying to make everybody happy across the board by covering as much ground as possible by mixing in current media into the basic Black Series assortment. By doing that however, many of the side or even main characters (in different outfits) will not get produced or take a long time to make it onto collector's shelves.
So we are asking, do we need dedicated sub-lines for CURRENT Star Wars media?
Let's take a look at what Hasbro has released and what we still would love to see from recent movies:
Hasbro is making harder to find figures from The Black Series available again (we ran a story about it a few months ago) and two of the three are scheduled to ship this month! Entertainment Earth has them up, take a look:
Black Series Darth Revan (not mint, but cheaper!)
Black Series Captain Rex (single boxed version with photo real face printing technology)
Black Series Sabine Wren (from Star Wars: Rebels)
We've added Hasbro's 6" Princess Leia Organa (Bespin Escape) from The Black Series to the database. The figure is currently a Target exclusive in the United States, here is all the information about the figure:
Black Series Princess Leia (Bespin Escape)
We've added Hasbro's Black Series 6" Admiral Piett to the database. The figure is an online exclusive and can be purchased through online retailers Entertainment Earth, BigBadToyStore among others. For all the information about this figure have a look here:

I am writing this here sitting at the airport waiting to board my plane back to Seattle, if I miss anything feel free to leave a comment below and I'll update the list. So, here it goes:
Patrick Schneider from the Hasbro Star Wars team will travel to Paris Comic Con, England's MCM convention and Italy's Luca Comics and Games convention to talk about Star Wars action figures. Don't expect huge new reveals but there will be a few new things ...
Thank you to the Hasbro team for a fantastic weekend with lots of great reveals!
Here is the audio which we captured during Hasbro's media event on October 4, 2018 about Star Wars The Black Series 6" figures! Hasbro revealed the impressive General Grievous 6" and Tartakovsky Clone Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi action figures, along with three new entries into the Black Series archive line! Listen to Hasbro's Steve Evans and Patrick Schneider explain some of the figure details, availability, price points and the introduction of the Black Series XL line for Spring 2019!
Hasbro invited select media outlets to a Hotel in Manhattan this morning to present new Star Wars toys. The presentation included Star Wars lightsaber fx products, new The Black Series 6" action figures, Star Wars Resistance 3 3/4" figures and never-before-seen packaged versions of some The Vintage Collection action figures. Here is what we have learned:
The Black Series 6" General Grievous figure will be released exclusively at Target stores in Spring 2019 for $29.99 in a new Black Series XL line. His arms come apart so that he can be displayed with all four arms stretched out. The back of the soft-goods robe didn't have the skull emblem on it, but this might change by the time it's released (they weren't sure if it's not on the cape because it was a prototype fabric).
The Black Series 6" General Kenobi in his Tartakovsky Clone Wars outfit will be released exclusively at Walgreens stores during Spring 2019.
Hasbro's Black Series 6" archive series will include a re-release of Anakin Skywalker from Episode 3, but this time with the new face printing technology. And just like the first release it will also include a second head sculpt. Yoda will also be re-released and it's the first creature in the Black Series 6" line to feature face printing technology (the very first creature to feature face print tech by the way is the Jabba The Hutt figure which comes with the Sail Barge, but that of course goes with 3 3/4" figures). The third figure shown was the Biker Scout, which is a straight re-release of the Biker Scout with Speeder Bike.
Hasbro also had Jabba's Sail Barge on display and pictures don't do it justice, it looks amazing in person. Expect more videos from Hasbro about its creation leading up to its release in February. They also revealed Princess Leia (in Boushh Disguise) on its card, together with Klaatu, Yakface and the Rogue One Scarif Stormtrooper. Klaatu looks outstanding on the card, especially because there is no warning on the front which gives the artwork more room to breath.
The Vintage Collection Gamorrean Guard will be re-released next year, the packaging and numbering will be identical to the previous release.
A big surprise was the reveal of Star Wars Resistance action figures in the 3 3/4" line which will be available in Spring 2019. It's going to be its on dedicated line with its own packaging. No vehicles were shown.
We'd like to say thank you to Hasbro for inviting us to the event and stay tuned for more coverage from New York Comic Con this weekend! Now make sure to check out the photo gallery (we'll be updating it over the coming days).
We've added Hasbro's Black Series 6" Rebel Fleet Trooper to the database. To learn more about the figure have a look here please:
The Black Series Rebel Fleet Trooper
Hasbro has released new information about their European The Black Series Star Wars figure exclusives!
Kids and fans alike can imagine the biggest battles and missions in the STAR WARS saga with new, 6-inch scale figures from THE BLACK SERIES! With exquisite features and decoration, this series embodies the quality and realism that STAR WARS devotees love. These HAN SOLO and PRINCESS LEIA ORGANA figures are carefully detailed to look like the characters from STAR WARS: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, featuring premium detail and multiple points of articulation. Includes two 6-inch figures and four accessories. Limited quantities of this item will be available at other select conventions and may be available at select online retailers after the convention in the relevant market (including HasbroToyShop.com where available). Good while supplies last.
Fans will be able to purchase this exclusive set at Noris Force Con (Germany) for £49.99, followed by MCM London Comic Con (England), Comic Con Paris (France), and Lucca Comics & Games (Italy) in limited quantities while supplies last.
Hasbro has revealed two new Star Wars action figures during Fan Expo Canada! The first reveal was Captain Phasma in The Vintage Collection and the second reveal was Dryden Voss in The Black Series 6" line. Both figures will be out next year, have a look at the press images below:
Chinese online retailer Robotkingdom is currently taking pre-orders for a brand new Hasbro Black Series 6" multipack. The set includes Princess Leia Organa (Hoth Outfit) and Han Solo (Echo Base Gear). Princess Leia appears to be a re-release of the basic, and still up-coming, single boxed Black Series Princess Leia figure while Han Solo looks to be new.
Even though Hasbro has released a Han Solo (Hoth Outfit) figure before in the Black Series line together with a TaunTaun, this new version has a new head (it may utilizes the new face printing technology), different jacket, different paint application and it has a scarf and fur around the collar.
This set is likely the European/German Noris Force Con exclusive set which was hinted at by the organizers of the convention early in the Summer. Hasbro mentioned that there will be an exclusive European convention set as well, and that it will make it's way to the United States eventually. Unfortunately we don't have any other details to share at this time.
British retailer ForbiddenPlanet.com has revealed new information about the up-coming Black Series 6" Dengar and Imperial Patrol Trooper figures. Besides a handful of new images they also revealed that Dengar will be available on December 3rd, 2018 and the Imperial Patrol Trooper will be out on October 26th, 2018. Expect to see both figures at around the same time in the United States.

In the stats you can see where Hasbro's focus was, how many figures did they release in total? How many were exclusives? What stores sold exclusive figures? How many figures were released based on a certain movie and how much did it cost do purchase one of each figure?
You can find those stats with each toy line section, just pull up the page and scroll towards the bottom. We'll be rolling out more stats for other toy lines over the coming months, please stay tuned and have fun comparing toy line stats!

As always, a very limited number of sets will be available after the convention through HasbroToyShop.com and several international conventions later in the year.

Fans of Hasbro's The Black Series 6" line have been asking for display stands for quite some time and we are happy to report that the wait is over. We don't know how Hasbro will distribute those display stands yet, but we are hopeful that future single packed figures will include them and maybe they will make them available in bulk, so people with larger collections can pick them up easier.
The display stand is 4 1/2" long, 2" deep and 0.5" high and it has two pegs, one on each side. It's long enough to give figures in dynamic poses room and stability. The middle piece, which says Star Wars on it, can be flipped around. This then turns the stand into a floor panel which looks cool. Multiple display stands can be hooked into each other on one side, so you can have an entire row of figures stand next to each other.
Have a look at the images below!

We've just had the opportunity to compare the Black Series 6" 40th Anniversary Death Squad Commander figure to the single boxed regular release. Both figures have different heads, the first one was painted, the new one features Hasbro's photo real technology where the paint is printed onto the figure.
The new Death Squad Commander looks phenomenal in person, the eye doesn't catch the pixely print, the camera however does. As you can see, by printing the paint onto the figure it's possible to include more colors instead of just a single brush stroke (look at the eye brows). Below are some comparion pictures of both figures, have a look!
