On January 29, 2013, Brian Truitt revealed on USAToday.com that Hasbro was going to release 6-inch Star Wars action figures in Fall 2013, which confirmed months of speculations. The Black Series 6-inch line debuted officially on August 1, 2013, along with the basic The Black Series 3 3/4-inch figures. Despite the higher price point of approx. $19.99, almost twice as much as a 3 3/4" Star Wars action figure at the time, the all-new scale was received well by fans.
Here is a look at The Black Series 6-inch basic assortment of 2013/2014. Chewbacca would have been #13 in the series but the figure was delayed and was moved into the 2014/2015 line-up.
The only exclusive Black Series 6" set in 2013 was the San Diego Comic Con 2013 exclusive with Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite.
Here is a list of Star Wars figures which were released between Fall 2014 and Fall 2015 in the basic assortment.
Here is a list of Star Wars figures from the 2014/2015 The Black Series Deluxe assortment.

Hasbro revealed the Star Wars 40th Anniversary Collection on February 15, 2017. The first figure shown was Luke Skywalker (X-Wing Pilot), which was a Star Wars Celebration Orlando 2017 exclusive. Only a few days later, on February 18, 2017 during New York Toy Fair, Hasbro revealed more figures from the 40th Anniversary Collection.
Here is a look at the Black Series Centerpiece line. The idea behind the sets was to give fans a diorama enviornment with lights where the character is set in a dynamic, fantasy-type situation.
Here is a look at Star Wars Black Series figures which didn't fit into the traditional assortment model.
The Black Series Archive sub-line includes Star Wars figures which were released previously, it's a way for Hasbro to bring back popular characters such as Boba Fett and figures which command a premium aftermarket price. In some cases Hasbro even improved the figures by adding the photo real face printing technology to give them a more life-like appearance. For the Black Series Archive line the packaging was changed from a Black Series box to a blister card.
The Black Series 6" Deluxe line started in March 2019 with General Grievous. Figures in this series cost $29.99 ($10 more than a regular Black Series figure) and included larger characters.
On Triple Force Friday, October 4, 2019, Hasbro released eight figures from the basic Black Series 6" assortment in limited edition white boxes. The figures cost $19.99 each and they were identical to the figures from the basic assortment. The only difference was the packaging, even the collector number on the side of the packaging was identical to the basic assortment counterpart. Here is a complete list:
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back in 2020 Hasbro released figures on special Kenner inspired cardbacks. The very first figure released in this series was Boba Fett in Kenner inspired colors during San Diego Comic Con in 2019, and even though the cardback featured the classic Star Wars logo (just like it did in 1979 right before the release of The Empire Strikes Back), the top of the card featured the 40th of The Empire Strikes Back logo. Besides the single carded figures listed below there were also other 40th ESB designated figures, such as the Carbonized Darth Vader, Stormtrooper and Boba Fett figures (all three released in a box, not on a card), the Probe Droid and the Luke Skywalker (Dagobah) with Yoda 2-pack which were released in the Black Series Deluxe assortment.
Between Fall 2019 and Fall 2020 Hasbro released a total of seven Black Series Carbonized figures. All figures were repaints of previously released figures, they each cost $24.99 and were exclusive to different retailers.
Listed here are figures which were released in the Gaming Greats subline and had a Gaming Greats call-out on the packaging. Every figure listed here was available through Gamestop/ThinkGeek stores only and cost $24.99 each.
Out of 355 figures released 145 were exclusives, which shows a focus of 40.85% on exclusives and 59.15% on regularly available figures.
If you have purchased one of each figure pictured here on this page when it was released at regular MSRP in the United States, or one of each multipack / convention exclusive, you've spent a total of $8346.95. This averages out to $23.51 per figure.
