Hasbro have announced their Star Wars exclusives for 2021. These would have been originally planned for SDCC, but that of course has been cancelled so the sets will now be Hasbro Pulse Con exclusives and sold online via Hasbro Pulse in both the UK and US in the Autumn.
The big Star Wars Black Series set this year is taken from A New Hope and the Cantina Showdown scene in Mos Eisley. The set will see the New Hope Obi-Wan Kenobi get a re-release with photo-real decor. He is joined by new figures of Pondo Baba and Dr. Evazan. The trio can be displayed alongside the Cantina Bar diorama section - there are even cups & glasses included so the three can be shown having a drink. Pondo Baba looks to re-use the Luke Skywalker Ceremony figure, and you get both the clawed hand and the hoof-like versions seen in some shots. I cant place any of the Dr. Evazan parts.
Following on from the other sets this year using classic packaging, the box for the Cantina Showdown goes all the way back to the Power of the Force 2 Cinema Scenes sets.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's 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 licences - 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...
