Hasbro held a Hasbro Pulse Panel at MCM London with news and reveals for most of the Hasbro key properties including Star Wars and across all three key properties within the Star Wars Universe.



Star Wars Vintage Collection


The panel started with the Vintage Collection and a reveal of The Stranger from The Acolyte. He will come with two heads - masked and unmasked - and removable soft goods cape.



There will then be a single carded release of 'Emperor's Wrath' Darth Vader.



We then got the first figure reveal for the new Maul: Shadow Lord animated series with a carded release of Maul, a refresh of the Clone Wars mechanical legs Maul.



These will be part of the 2026 Vintage Wave in 2026 with Padme and Shaak-Ti, pre-ordering starts on the 28th of October.




Star Wars Black Series


The Black Series showed the teased lightsaber 'swoosh' effects from NYC 2025 was all related to the Fan Channel Wave 1 for 2026 which we knew from NYCC that included Kyle Katarn from Dark Forces. We now have his promotional images and confirmation this is a Gaming Greats release and Kyle will be number 29 in the GG Galaxy Collection.and the Kyle Katarn figure.



He will be joined by Jedi Master Dooku from Tales of the Jedi with two heads (bearded and not), soft goods cape, and lightsaber with two blade effects. Dooku is listed as number 02 and we aren't sure if this means there is another figure incoming from that series, or if this is a combined Galaxy Collection with number one in the set being the Visions release of The Ronin - the colours are almost identical.



The Wave will also feature the Seventh Sister from Rebels, who will come with an unmasked head, removable two-part helmet, and an Inquisitor dual lightsaber with two standard blades and two swoosh effects. She also includes her Seeker Droid. The Seventh Sister will be 09 in the Rebels Galaxy Collection, following on from Chopper from 2023.



We are also getting Quinlon Vos from Clone Wars, and he too will include a lightsaber with a normal and swoosh blade. Quinlon is number 22 in the Clone Wars Galaxy Collection.



This Fan Channel Wave is a Spring 2026 release and we can pre-order on the 28th of October. We have added the new figures to the Star Wars Black Series Collector Database



Star Wars Retro Collection


The panel didn't have time for the Retro reveal - but shared soon after was confirmation that joining the Retro Collection from A New Hope alongside Garinden, who was revealed at NYCC 2025 is the droid CZ-3. The pair are part of a new 6-figure boxset and we can expect more news at Lucca Comic Con in Italy which runs from the 29th October to the 1st of November.

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...
