Hasbro's Star Wars team held their Star Wars Day Fan Stream on the 3rd of May, revealing new products from the Star Wars Universe.
The stream was also meant to see the reveal of the next HasLab project, a new release for the Vintage Collection - but this announcement has been pushed back as Hasbro continues to work on the project.
The Star Wars Black Series reveals kicked off with a Prequel focus and started with a new exclusive from The Phantom Menace with 'Duel of the Fates' three-pack featuring Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul. All three figures are updated from their original releases with soft goods robes for Qui-Gon and Kenobi and updated soft goods. This set is a Gamestop US release in the Autumn - and should be a Fan Channel release elsewhere. It comes in the new packaging.,
We also got the full reveal of four sets previously announced via the pipeline process. The first is the single release of the B2 Super Battle Droid. This is an Attack of the Clones release and features a variant clean paint job vs the recent 2-pack release with C-3PO on the Battle Droid body. This version also comes with a firing effect piece. We then get the first release for Revenge of the Sith in the Galaxy Collection with Darth Sidious in his red robes complete with lightsaber and force lightning effects. The figure is a mix of soft-goods robes but with a sculpted hood. Both Sidious and the Super Battle Droid are Fan Channel releases in the Autumn. Both of these new figures will come in the slanted side Phase 4 packaging and not the new squared-off box that Hasbro is moving to later in 2024.
The Clones of the Republic Set 2 will be the Yoda and Commander Gree set and comes with a Prequel era Yoda with two head options, a lightsaber, and his council chair. Gree is based on his comic-book look. This set is a Hasbro Pulse exclusive to start with and will also feature at Shop Disney and Disney Parks in the future.
The final set is the Exclusive two-pack of Captain Enoch and a Night Trooper from Ahsoka,. This one is a Walmart US exclusive and through the Fan Channel everywhere else. This is also an Autumn 2023 release. Both of these final two packs are in the new packaging.
The Black Series pipeline reveals included both Luke and Leia from A New Hope, an army-building 2-pack from A New Hope with a Stormtrooper and Rebel Fleet Trooper, and Dagan from the Jedi: Survivor videogame.
With no HasLab reveal, the Vintage Collection news was limited to the unveiling of the Rebel Pilot 4-Pack with pilots as seen in the Ahsoka series including two human pilots, a Mirialan, and a Duros. The pilots also come with their helmets and blasters. The Army Builder set is a Fan Channel release in the Autumn.
And in the Retro Collection, we have another box set of Prequel figures including Attack of the Clones figures of Padme Amidala, Jango Fett, and MAace WIndu. Along with Revenge of the Sith releases of Anaking Skywalker, Clone Trooper, and General Grievous. This is an Autumn release exclusive to Hasbro Pulse and then Shop Disney and Disney Parks.
Vintage collectors do have some pipeline reveals to look forward to with a new Anakin Skywalker from the Ahsoka flashback scenes, an army-building 4-Pack of Shriek Hawk Mandalorians and an Armorer Forge Playset.

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...
