Hasbro's first Star Wars Fan Stream was held on the 12th of January 2025, hosted by the Hasbro Star Wars team and with reveals for all three of the Star Wars properties.


The following summary of the reveals includes screenshots, and these will be updated to the full press release once received.



The Black Series had four new reveals, including three that are first-time releases in the line. Up first was Watto who will release under the Attack of the Clones banner, but has features that cover his role in The Phantom Menace as well. Watto has a datapad, his cane, his chance cube and a flight stand. He features two sets of wings so you can display him flying or stationary. Watto and part of a three-figure wave.



The second figure of the wave is Taun We from Attack of the Clones, the first Kaminoan in the series and complete with soft goods robes and her datapad. The third figure, and again from Attack of the Clones, is a Geonosian Warrior. The Warrior features articulated wings as well as the usual limb articulation. Like Watto, there is also a second set of 'in motion' wings and a flight stand for flight mode. The Warrior comes with a blaster.



The Attack of the Clones wave is a Fan Channel and Amazon release for Spring 2026, with pre-orders open as of the 14th of January 2026.



The fourth figure was revealed as Lord Starkiller from The Force Unleashed. He comes with six lightsabers with red blades, and the hilts can all be hung on his belt. The soft goods robes are wired for dynamic poses. He also comes with alternative force pushing hands. This one is a Deluxe release sold through Hasbro Pulse and Fan Channel retailers with pre-orders as of the 4th of February 2026.


All of these Black Series reveals have been added to our comprehensive Star Wars Black Series Collector Database



STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES TAUN WE 

(HASBRO | Ages 4 and Up | Approx. Retail Price: $27.99 | Pre-Order on January 14 at 1 PM ET on Hasbro Pulse, Amazon and Fan Channel retailers; available Spring 2026)  


A beautiful sylph-like Kaminoan, Taun We is the administrative aide to the Prime Minister of Kamino. She naively introduced Obi-Wan Kenobi to the original source of the Kamino clones, Jango Fett. STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES includes 6-inch action figures, vehicles, and roleplay items from the 40-plus-year legacy of the STAR WARS galaxy, letting fans create galactic scenes with a faithfulness to STAR WARS comic books, movies, series, and more. This STAR WARS Hasbro action figure is detailed to look like Taun We from STAR WARS: ATTACK OF THE CLONES. With exquisite features and decoration, THE BLACK SERIES embodies the quality and realism that STAR WARS devotees love (additional products each sold separately, subject to availability). 

 


STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES WATTO 

(HASBRO | Ages 4 and Up | Approx. Retail Price: $27.99| Pre-Order on January 14 at 1 PM ET on Hasbro Pulse, Amazon and Fan Channel retailers; available Spring 2026)  


Toydarian junk dealer Watto bought Shmi Skywalker and her son Anakin from Gardulla the Hut. He sponsored Anakin in several Podraces, but often bet against him. STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES includes 6-inch action figures, vehicles, and roleplay items from the 40-plus-year legacy of the Star Wars galaxy, letting fans create galactic scenes with a faithfulness to STAR WARS comic books, movies, series, and more. This STAR WARS Hasbro action figure is detailed to look like Watto from STAR WARS: ATTACK OF THE CLONES. Comes with a walking stick, data pad, swappable wings, and a clear stand to pose him out in mid-flight. With exquisite features and decoration, THE BLACK SERIES embodies the quality and realism that STAR WARS devotees love (additional products each sold separately, subject to availability). 

 


STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES GEONOSIAN WARRIOR 

(HASBRO | Ages 4 and Up | Approx. Retail Price: $27.99 | Pre-Order on January 14 at 1 PM ET on Hasbro Pulse, Amazon and Fan Channel retailers; available Spring 2026)  


Geonosians are insect-like beings, complete with wings and nesting in colonies, who helped develop plans for the first Death Star. STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES includes 6-inch action figures, vehicles, and roleplay items from the 40-plus-year legacy of the STAR WARS galaxy, letting fans create galactic scenes with a faithfulness to STAR WARS comic books, movies, series, and more. This STAR WARS Hasbro action figure is detailed to look like a Geonosian warrior from STAR WARS: ATTACK OF THE CLONES. Comes with a blaster, swappable wings, and a clear stand to pose him out in mid-flight. With exquisite features and decoration, THE BLACK SERIES embodies the quality and realism that STAR WARS devotees love (additional products each sold separately, subject to availability). 




The Vintage Collection kicked straight off with the Cantina reveal of Labria, complete with soft goods robes. Joining Labria was the Imperial Spy Garinden, again with soft goods robes.



There was a first to the Star Wars figure universe with the release of Chalmun, the Wookiee owner of Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina in Mos Eisley. He comes with a cup and a blaste. His look is taken from the snippets of images of Chalmun from the Star Wars universe, including a pop-up book appearance and some Ralph McQuarrie designs.



The final figure of the lineup is Arleil Schous, the ageing Defel fortune hunter, and a figure that was one of the tiers for the Cantina HasLab, but a tier that failed to be backed. The four figures are packed into a Cantina 4-Pack. The set opens for pre-order on the 28th of January and is exclusive to Hasbro Pulse and Disney Store. It will ship in the Spring of 2026.


Retro continued the reveals for the next Retro A New Hope box set, and joining the revealed figures of Garinden, CZ-3, and R4-M9 is a new Princess Leia in her Ceremonial outfit, complete with medal accessory.


The final two figures are still to be revealed.

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...
