Star Wars Black Series 'May the 4th' Reveals, Gaming Greats Flametrooper and Nightbrother



The Hasbro Star Wars team hosted a special May the 4th, Star Wars Day, live steam unveiling a number of new Star Wars products across the Vintage Collection and Black Series lines.


The Gaming Greats line for 2021 has moved into the new Galaxy Collection packaging and we already have new figures of Cal Kestis and an Imperial Rocket Trooper incoming. Joining them are two new figures from Jedi : Fallen Order.


We have an Imperial Flametrooper, featuring a new helmet and armour detailing on the existing Imperial Snowtrooper. These troops were seen as part of Imperial Forces throughout Fallen Order. And then from the Dathomir sequences, a new figure of a Nightbrother Warrior. He comes with a melee weapon and does appear to re-use some parts from the new bare chest Maul figure.


Both figures are Gamestop US exclusives with a pre-order opening as of Revenge of the 5th (5th of May) and are Autumn 2021 release.

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...
