It may be older news at this point, but Sainsbury's stores in the UK currently have a promotional end dedicated to Star Wars and the 'Power of the Force' branded marketing campaign. The end includes multiple product lines, including Lego, Funko, and Play-Doh, but it also carries two Hasbro Star Wars Black Series figures.

These are the 'Best Of' releases of The Mandalorian (Mines of Mandalore) and Darth Vader, and they are currently priced at £20 each. They also reflect an update to the packaging as both figures originally came in the slanted side boxes, and are now in the fully squared off box format.


Not only does this present a variant for boxed collection, this is a pretty great price for the two figures, which reflect very good versions of both characters. Our comprehensive Star Wars Black Series Collector Database has been updated with these two new packaging variations.

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...
