The Hasbro Pulse Con 2023 virtual event is streaming from 4.00pm UK (11am ET) on Friday the 22nd of September 2023 on the Hasbro Pulse YouTube Channel.
The Star Wars panel was split into segments for Vintage and Black Series with the team focusing initially on the Vintage reveals. Before they got going the team took a look at the Star Wars Black Series bodies within the Selfie Series, as well as a look at the Starkiller Force Awakens exclusive set which will go up for pre-order at the end of the event.
Following the Vintage Collection reveals came the Black Series segment starting with the Archive Collection and as promised via a pipeline reveal a few events ago we can look forward to Luke Skywalker X-Wing, Darth Vader, Bo-Katan Kryze, and an Imperial Stormtrooper
These Archive figures are not going to be offered in the US and sold internationally only. They are blister-carded as per the Archive Collection standard. They won't be going up for pre-order just yet and are 2024 releases.
The reveals then moved onto Ahsoka from Disney+ and we can now look to add new figures of Baylan Skoll (#09) as well as his apprentice Shin Hati (#10). These are Spring 2024 releases in the mainline and are live for pre-order as of the 22nd of September.
The Black Series premium role-play line will continue with the release of Sabine's Lightsaber in 2024. It is based on the Ahsoka series including Sabine's adjustments to the weapon. It is a Premium FX Elite release.
The other role-play release revealed is the Captain Rex helmet. Complete with weathering and tally marks. The range finder is moveable and includes FX attached. Both of these items are Spring 2024 mainline items with pre-orders live as of the 22nd of September.
There were also pipeline teases as is now standard for these panels. For the Black Series, we will be seeing incoming figures of A New Hope Darth Vader (apparently different from the Archive version) and The Mandalorian from Season 3. There is a shared Fan Exclusive Phase 1 Clone Trooper, and a Mandalorian Night Owl from The Mandalorian Season 3.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
