Hasbro hosted their first Star Wars Fan First livestream of 2024 on the 23rd of January 2024.
A summary of the event is as follows. We will update this with promo images upon receipt.
The event kicked off with some recap information from the Gift the Galaxy series of reveals including the Vintage Collection Clone Trooper 4-Pack and the Black Series Clone Trooper 2-Pack of the Phase 1 Clone Trooper Lieutenant and the 332nd Clone Trooper.
We were reminded that 2024 is the 25th Anniversary of the Phantom Menace and the start of the prequel trilogy. Reveals for this already include the Retro Collection 3.75 Phantom Menace figure pack. The Vintage Collection has the deluxe Jango Fett coming later this year. While the Black Series has an Attack of the Clones C-3PO Battle Droid and a Super Battle Droid with specific decor exclusive to this set, they are joining the 2024 releases of Anakin and Padme from Episode 1.
The team touched on distribution issues and that while the 'Brick & Mortar' releases will continue, the Fan Channel will be a key focus avenue in 2024 for more specialised or demanded releases. We will see how that plays out through the coming year. The team clarified what the Fan Channel setup was for each of the key global territories. The EuropeanFan Chanel retailers on scree included Pulse (as expected) but also Star Action Figures.
The Black Series
Phase 1 Clone Trooper on the new body is coming in the Spring of 2024. This is release 05 in the Attack of the Clones series, coming in Spring 2024, and sold on the Fan Channel (and Amazon in the US).
There was then a 'big' reveal with the Destroyer Droid / Droideka finally joining the Black Series. He comes with a bronze finish over-sprayed with a purple hue. This is 04 in the Phantom Menace series. It is a Summer 2024 release. It's a Fan Channel release
The reveals then moved back to the newer live-action Disney+ series with the reveal of Grand Admiral Thrawn from Ahsoka. He is a fully updated figure releasing in Spring 2025 (that is not a typo) so there is over a year to wait on this one as it stands.
Pre-order all of these from the 24th of January.

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...
