It is now less than 100 days until the release of Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu on the 22nd of May 2026. So far, we've had a teaser trailer and a short spot at the Superbowl which did divide fans considering it consisted of a single sequence of Mando and Grogu being pulled on a hover-carriage by a team of Tauntauns.
We had some fun with a replication of one of the scenes from the Superbowl spot using the existing Black Series Tauntaun and the Mando Kries Grogu.
Figure news is so far limited to a single 'leak' for a Deluxe two-pack containing updated figures of the two titular characters alongside new weapons and accessories.
Without a wider trailer or plot details, it is difficult to pick out which characters, aliens, and troopers might we see as part of a Mandalorian & Grogu Black Series collection, but we did speculate on the following potential releases after the teaser trailer.
Whatever Hasbro decides to bring us in the Black Series line, you can keep track of them all in our comprehensive Star Wars Black Series Collector Database
When we consider the new characters and creatures we see in the trailer, Sigourney Weaver's New Republic character is the first prime candidate for a new figure. The same can be said of Zeb Orrelious, who is glimpsed in the trailer battling with his bo-staff. We've already seen a live-action Zeb in the Disney+ series, and it would be great to bring a live-action release into the Black Series and take a step closer to a full live-action Ghost crew.
The Anzellans, as mentioned earlier, are seen with Grogu piloting a speeder of sorts, and if we want to go deep into The Mandalorian & Grogu merchandising with a small-format vehicle, this one looks plausible
Rotta the Hutt, son of Jabba the Hutt, will play a big part in the movie - literally - and while we see just one shot of him, he does look like a good option for a deluxe Black Series release in a similar size to his father's existing figure. We also see the Desilijic clan symbol on the door of a vault defended by large Droids. While there is no further context, the Droids themselves would make impressive Black Series releases.
One of my favourite moments in the trailer was the Amani in the water. This is a callback to Amanaman from Jabba's Palace in Return of the Jedi, and whether this is Amanaman or another Amani, it is good to see them return to the Star Wars franchise.
The final figure possibility, although it would be another large deluxe, would be the creature Mando is riding in an arena. This is a Mantellian Savrip, one of the beasts shown on the Dejarik board when Chewbacca and C-3PO play the game in A New Hope.
Whatever Hasbro has in store, it is going to be a fun few months and I would suspect as this is the first Star Wars big screen outing since 2017 we can expect a relatively strong level of support on the toy front, in the Black Series and wider through the VIntage Collection, potentially the Retro Collection, and beyond into other companies such as S.H. Figuarts, and the Jazwares Micro Galaxy Fleet releases.

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...
