The Mandalorian's debut on November 12, 2019, on Disney+ sparked a wave of excitement not just for the series itself but also for the action figure lines that followed. As the first live-action Star Wars TV series, it introduced a new array of characters and designs that quickly became fan favorites in the collecting community. Hasbro capitalized on the show's success by expanding their Star Wars action figure offerings across multiple lines, including The Vintage Collection, The Black Series, and the Retro Collection. The Vintage Collection brought the Razor Crest vehicle (among many others) and characters of The Mandalorian to life with intricate details and articulation, staying true to the classic 3.75-inch scale beloved by collectors. The Black Series, known for its 6-inch figures, offered highly detailed and larger-scale versions of key characters like Din Djarin, Bo-Katan Kryze, and the fearsome Moff Gideon. Meanwhile, the Retro Collection provided a nostalgic throwback, reimagining The Mandalorian characters in the style of the original 1970s and 1980s Kenner figures. These action figures have become must-haves for collectors, capturing the essence of the series and its impact on the Star Wars franchise.
