Hasbro marked the first full week of the Ahsoka series on Disney+ with a Fan First livestream at pm on the 29th of August. The event was focused on new Ahsoka products and involved reveals across the Black Series and The Vintage Collection. We have already had sight of three Ahsoka series figures in the Black Series as revealed at SDCC 2023. While Hera appears to be slipping into a wave with Pre Vizsla and the new R2-D2, a full Ahsoka wave will precede these, and will include the #01 Ahsoka figure and that of Sabine Wren who is number #03 in the Ahsoka line. They are joined by four brand-new figures. These include Ezra Bridger (Lothal) packed with his lightsaber and blaster and number #02 in the series. This is based on the holographic Ezra we see during episode 1 and his final season appearance from Rebels. We have Morgan Elsbeth #04, and her HK-87 Assassin Droid #05 - this being a revised version of the HK-87 released in The Mandalorian series. The wave is concluded with a CHOPPER release. CHOPPER is a direct repack, but rather than putting him into the Ahsoka packaging he is given new Rebels packaging with a new number 08 designation following on from the last Galaxy Collection Rebels release of Ahsoka herself from 2020. That means there are two identical CHOPPER figures at number 02 and number 08 of the Rebels series - Hasbro explained this as a way to get CHOPPER into the general release in the new Galaxy Collection packaging having previously been part of an exclusive wave.

For those Star Wars Collectors who have followed Hasbro's 6-inch basic figures over the years, there is a new set showing up in Smyths UK containing figures of Luke from Return of the Jedi, Darth Vader, and Darth Maul. The set also includes the newer releases of The Mandalorian and Bo-Katan Kryze. At £29.99 it is not overly cheap, but these figures have retailed between £7 and £10 in the past - so at £5.99 per figure the set is well below the single pricing. For those not overly familiar with the line, these are hard plastic figures with 4 to 5 points of articulation. They are made to a 6-inch size and not scale - so Vadar is the same height as Luke.

"Your meddling has cost me my droid, my speeder and almost my neck, Tig Fromm." 2022 was certainly a bumper year for Boba Fett fans after his return to Star Wars live-action in the 2021 Disney+ Book of Boba Fett series. There were several new Boba Fett figures released by Hasbro in the Star Wars Black series - reflecting Boba’s latest appearances, but also revisiting a few old classics including his appearance in the 1985 spin-off series Droids, a look which itself pays homage to Boba’s first on-screen appearance from the 1977 Star Wars Holiday Special. The Droids Boba Fett was released under the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary badge, and while not necessarily a Publishing release it did use the same packaging principle with a closed box design using artwork from Droids. The packaging then featured an opening front cover, held in place with Velcro, which revealed the figure within. Like most Boba Fett figures to date, the Droids variant was a direct repaint of the original 2013 Boba Fett figure from The Empire Strikes Back. For the Droids' appearance, Boba’s entire colour pallet was updated with a very light grey base colour over which was added a beige chest section, sky blue armour pieces and brown knee pads, belt, holster, and Wookiee pelt trophies. Like the first release, the helmet carries the signature dent to the front left and a fixed range finder which now looks quite chunky compared to more modern Mandalorian releases - its softer plastic is a warp risk. Boba’s Droids look is finished off with his soft goods cape, brown i colour and with a thick orange trim. These orange-trimmed sections create a more rigid feel to the cape which sits in the neatly folded position and with little flow or play. Boba’s jet pack finishes off the look, and this connects to the rear of the figure with a longer central peg and two smaller positioning clips. The jet pack is cast in a beige plastic with painted blue rocket boosters, and some white trim added to the rocket. The Droids Boba Fett contains the same weaponry as the 2013 release with a hand blaster that slots into the provided holster. This is cast in grey with no other specific detailing, it can be wielded in either hand with both right and left grips including a flexible trigger finger. The longer EE-3 blaster carbine carries more sculpted detail but also lacks any paintwork over the base grey. It too fits in either hand, or both hands for two-handed weapons posing - be aware that some of the two-handed posing positions will see the Blaster Carbine start to warp at the central point if held too long. As an early Black Series release body, the Droids Boba Fett brings with it the older articulation configuration with 16 points of articulation overall including double-joint knees. While not as extensive as a more modern figure - and a little awkward to pose in places - Boba does have sufficient motion for slinging his weapons, posing with his various wrist weaponry or taking flight with the jet pack. The choice of the older buck was also a shame when the newer Return of the Jedi Boba Fett was available with a cleaner look and partially improved articulation. As an exclusive, the figure also carried a premium price - although the UK availability via the Fan Channel was quite extensive leading to a lot of peg warming stock and reduced pricing. The figure is an oddity in the wider Black Series not linked directly to any of the other sub-lines and its key issue is its standalone nature, with no C-3PO or R2-D2 figures to accompany it. One for the completists, and those who are big fans of Droids - but with little chance of adding to a Droids collection in the future.

The Target Fall Geek Out event has put the next two figures in McFarlane's DC Multiverse Collector Series releases up for pre-order. We can look forward to the October release of Sinestro who will come with power battery, chain construct, exclusive card, and a display base for both the figure and the card. He is joined by Hawkman who features removable wings, his mace, and the same art card and display bases. The wave is rounded out by Firestorm from Crisis on Infinite Earths who will come with alternative hands and blast effect pieces. The wave was announced by Target, but is not exclusive to them. Originally hailing from the planet Korugar, Sinestro once served as the Green Lantern of Sector 1417 and quickly gained recognition among the Corps for his ability to police his sector. However, peace came at a price. Sinestro's determination to preserve order caused him to act more as a dictator than a protector. It wasn't until then new recruit Hal Jordan learned of Sinestro's methods that the Guardians were informed and Sinestro was ejected from the Corps. Steadfast in his belief of moral superiority and methods of maintaining order, Sinestro formed the Sinestro Corps, harnessing the yellow energy of fear, to not only combat the Guardians, whom he sees as the main obstacle on the path to intergalactic peace, but to also strengthen the Green Lantern Corps. Incredibly detailed 7” scale figure based on the DC Multiverse Designed with Ultra Articulation with up to 22 moving parts for full range of posing and play SINESTRO™ is based on his look in DC™ comics Accessories include power battery, chain construct, exclusive card stand and display base Included collectible art card with character art on the front, and character biography on the back Collect all McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Figures Since the days of World War II, there has always been an imposing figure with majestic wings and a striking bird-shaped helmet, brandishing ancient weaponry and standing alongside Earth's greatest heroes in its time of need. A fierce warrior without equal, the hero known as Hawkman has been a human being trapped in an ancient Egyptian curse of endless death and rebirth, and at other times, an alien police officer sent to Earth to help defend it.
