Star Wars Black Series Fan's Vote : Archive Series Release for 2021



Over the last couple of weeks, Star Wars fan sites have been collating votes from fans to see which Star Wars Black Series Action Figure release should get a slot in the 2021 Black Series Archive line.


The Archive line allows the re-release of older, more sought after, figures. And allows the addition of the newer Face Print technology to enhance the figure significantly as seen recently with Anakin Skywalker and Luke X-Wing Pilot.


The fan sites have provided their shortlists to Hasbro who have now drawn up a final shortlist of ten figures. There are not many surprises, and the Princess Leia from Return of the Jedi has made the list - although has now been renamed as "Huttslayer"



Hasbro Pulse is now running the final Fan's Vote, with the voting closing on the 29th May at 12pm (EST), that's 5pm here in the UK. Unfortunately fans in the UK can't vote, as only Hasbro Pulse members can cast a vote - and the membership is currently only allowed for US and Canadian collectors.


Let's hope our friends in the US vote wisely.... And in the interest of fun and comparison, I have set up a "bit of fun" vote of my own using the shortlisted ten figures to see how the UK collector base would have voted. Please follow the link and make your selection. I will share my results after the 29th of May.

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...
