In the United States, the Star Wars The Black Series toy line debuted officially on August 1, 2013. This series was the continuation of the much loved The Vintage Collection, which was aimed entirely at collectors. The figures released in this line featured a higher point of articulation and more detailed sculpts than the Saga Legends line, which was on store shelves at the same time. The first few shipments of wave 1 suffered packaging issues where the bubbles weren't secured well onto their cardbacks, which caused them to fall off when the figures were taken in hands. An issue Hasbro fixed quickly thereafter.
Here is a look at the Star Wars The Black Series basic figure assortment. Originally the basic line was supposed to have 31 figures but the last two were cancelled in the United States. Figure #30 was supposed to be an AT-RT Driver figure and #31 was going to be a Republic Trooper. The Republic Trooper was eventually released internationally in 2017!
Out of 116 figures released 52 were exclusives, which shows a focus of 44.83% on exclusives and 55.17% 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 $1496.24. This averages out to $12.90 per figure.
