  • Star Wars, The Mandalorian and Grogu: what new Black Series figure potential can you see in the new Teaser Trailer?

    Whenever we get a new trailer for one of the big franchises we follow, it is always fun to start speculating what the toy line may look like once the movie releases. That process is now underway for the latest Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu who's teaser trailer debuted in full on the 22nd of September, well ahead of the movie release in May 2026. We see plenty of Mando and Grogu in the movie, and while I am sure there are some minor changes in their outfits, they remain broadly the same as the last time we saw them in The Mandalorian Season 3. That means that for the Black Series we already have access to our titular characters. The best of these are the recently released Mandalorian (Glavis Ringworld) and Grogu from either the IG-12 set or the pack-in with Luke Skywalker. We also see numerous Anzellans in the trailer who appear to be allies of Grogu, in particular. Two of these (and it may even be the same two) were also included in the IG-12 set. We also see Mando and Grogu scouting out an Imperial base with plenty of standard Imperial Stormtroopers on duty. While these figures all technically exist already in the line it is more than likely the movie merchandising will include new releases of some or all of these. Moving to the new characters and creatures we see in the movie, 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.

  • Review: Star Wars Retro Collection The Mandalorian (Beskar) from The Mandalorian

    “This is the Way” After establishing the Retro Collection with two waves of replica figures from the original Kenner line, Hasbro began to expand the Retro series into newer Star Wars projects with Retro-inspired figures from newer properties like The Mandalorian, Kenobi, and The Book of Boba Fett.  When I started to stray into Retro Collection as an extension of my Kenner collection, I did say I would only focus on Retro releases from the Original Trilogy. Since then, my resolve has softened, and I have been picking up a handful of figures that I like rather than going out all completist for the Retro Collection. The first of these is the Retro Collection release of The Mandalorian (Beskar). The Mandalorian releases utilise the same retro-inspired cards, switching out the logo to a 1980s-inspired version of The Mandalorian logo, complete with its own silver tramline surround. The photo, a screenshot from The Mandalorian, sits next to the figure bubble with an orange backing card behind the figure blister. The Retro Collection sticker remains in place, but can be removed with care, as does the faux card wear and feathering that is part of the card print. There is no attempt on the rear of the card to replicate the older Kenner visual checklists, with the back a solid chunk of text and the only checklist in text with some other figures from The Mandalorian referenced.  In hand, the figure is replicating Mando’s Beskar armour with a brown base body and painted silver armoured parts. While the first Mando release used a Kenner-inspired vinyl cape, this Beskar version moves to soft goods with a lightweight brown cloak around Mando’s neck and hanging loose over his back and shoulder.  Round the back of the figure, and partly covered initially by the cape, is Mando’s jetpack. This is part of the torso sculpt, painted in silver.  Mando has five points of articulation, with simple single-rotation joints at the neck, shoulders, and hips. This allows Mando to sit if you want to have him pilot one of the original Kenner ships or Speeder Bikes. The arms can be extended, allowing them to field one or both of the included weapons. Those weapons include Mando’s blaster and his larger Amban Phase Rifle. These are both cast in black and while they are recognizable as the weapons we see in the show, but they still reflect the style and relative simplicity of the original Kenner weapons. The weapons fit in either of the basic clawed grip hands. The Retro Collection Beskar Mando ticks the right boxes in terms of replicating the style and aesthetics of the original Kenner figures, while remaining true to the source material. Yes, it lacks the memories attached to the original trilogy figures released by Kenner, but alongside them, it doesn’t lack significantly out of place, and allows fans of that style of figure to expand their collection further. I do suspect the fact this figure, and most of those aligned to the newer Disney+ properties, is still available at retail at significantly reduced prices is a good indication of where fans priorities lie with the Retro Collection and it is unlikely we will see many any more single releases in the future, letting them focus on box sets - with those from the Original Trilogy appearing to be the most sought after.

  • McFarlane DC Multiverse Failsafe Megafig

    McFarlane has unveiled a new DC Multiverse Megafig release in the shape of Failsafe, the android created and programmed by the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh. Based on the appearance in Batman: Failsafe, the figure will feature a gun as well as a robotic environment backdrop. The usual display base and collector card are also included The figure will be a November 2025 release. We've added it to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database In the process of Batman creating failsafe plans to stop Justice Leaguers in the event that one of them went rogue (a process that would later lead to the Tower of Babel incident), Batman's artificially constructed Zur-En-Arrh persona activated and created an android capable of stopping him in case Batman ever took a life. Zur-En-Arrh created Failsafe using technology from various cybernetic villains previously faced by the Justice League, including Amazo. Failsafe remained dormant in the Batcave for years until The Penguin faked his own death and framed Batman for homicide. While there were provisions in its programming for Batman being framed, unfortunately, they needed to be activated by the late Alfred Pennyworth.

We've added all three to our extensive McFarlane Collector Database A presence in Batman's world ever since she forcibly inserted herself into it, the tenacious Barbara Gordon has spent her life following in the footsteps of her hero father, Commissioner James "Jim" Gordon. While James Gordon has done much to help Gotham City as one of the few honorable cops on the Gotham City Police force, Barbara has done even more as Batgirl. Originally starting her career by imitating Gotham City's legendary Dark Knight, Batgirl has since become her own woman, fighting crime in an original style, and putting her years of training and brilliant mind to work protecting Gotham City's under-served neighborhoods. A year has passed since Earth-2 was destroyed by the armies of Apokolips. The survivors of the catastrophic tragedy have now made planetfall on a new world, and, with the help of heroes old and new, built a home. But some threats can survive even Apokolips. New super-villains have arisen to capitalize on the confusion, even as heroes like Batman, Power Girl, Superman, Green Lantern and The Flash struggle to find their place on an unfamiliar world. In "Beneath the Mask" the inmates of Arkham Asylum have taken over! It's Black Mask versus Jeremiah Arkham for control of the asylum. But what of the enigmatic Three Beauties, and how does Batman fit into the mad plan? Batman spends the night in the bowels of Arkham Asylum attempting to uncover its mysteries. Plus, the horrifying fate of Black Mask is at last revealed! To manage our storage costs, news article images are archived after 12-months.

Check out our direct news feed for more action figure news, reviews, and store reports 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...
