Hasbro has revealed four new Star Wars Black Series releases for early 2024, starting with the inevitable confirmation of a general release of Starkiller. Galen Marek will fill in the final slot in Wave 16 alongside Balon Skoll, Shin Hati, R5-D4, and the Mandalorian Fleet Captain. Starkiller is the same base figure as the recent Pulse Con release but will only feature one neutral head and a single red-bladed lightsaber.
The other three releases had all been mentioned previously in 'Pipeline' discussions, starting with R4-6DO the Astromech previously talked about as Greef Karga's R4 droid from Season 3 of The Mandalorian. This one uses the new Astromech body and it is a Walmart US exclusive and sold via Hasbro Pule and the Fan Channel in the UK.
Also from The Mandalorian is The Mandalorian from Season 3, specifically labeled as 'The Mines of Mandalor' release complete with Dark Saber. The final figure is a new release of Darth Vader from A New Hope. Both Vader and Mando are part of this new principle from Hasbro of having key characters recur in the Black Series line for new collectors, but instead of an Archive release, these figures will be part of the wider Galaxy Collection and are due for a Summer 2024 release.
All of these new figures, apart from R4-6DO, go live for pre-orders on the 25th of October 2023. Keep track of these and all the Star Wars Black Series releases at our extensive Star Wars Black Series Collectors Database.

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...
