- Review: Star Wars Black Series Imperial Praetorian Guard from The Mandalorian, Galaxy Collection Wave 21
"We already received your request…three Praetorian Guards. Sounds like someone is concerned about an assassination attempt." The armoured Praetorian Guards were first seen in the Sequel Trilogy, acting as guards for Supreme Leader Snoke. They were the natural successors to the original red-robed Imperial Royal Guards who protected Vader and Palpatine, and in Season 3 of The Mandalorian, we perhaps saw a missing link in that evolution by the introduction of the Imperial Praetorian Guards. These red-armoured Imperial elite warriors made their action figure debut in Wave 21 of the Star Wars Black Series in 2025, released alongside their commander, Moff Gideon, as well as figures from Andor and Ahsoka. As a release from The Mandalorian, the black box is highlighted in a deep orange colour for selected text and the side artwork. The Praetorian is number 43 in the Galaxy Collection, and that side artwork connects between the Imperial Armoured Commando and Moff Gideon in Dark Trooper Armour. The rear of the box talks a little about the role of the Praetorian Guard and their deployment by the Imperial Shadow Council. The figure itself is presented against a coordinated deep orange cardback that also incorporates shadowy scenery from the hidden complex on Mandalore. The Praetorian does borrow heavily from the original First Order Praetorian releases from 2017, including a direct re-use of the lower legs and knee joint. The torso may be the same as the First Order versions, but a new Imperial-inspired chest piece has been added over a mid-section that has similarities to that of a stormtrooper. The arms feature segmented armour down the shoulders and biceps with full wrist bracers and armour across the back of the Guard’s hands. Each of the armoured panels is cast in high red gloss with no paint decor apart from colour matching over the base plastic where needed. This base plastic is a deep burgundy, with a cloth sculpt to represent the suit worn under the armour. The original Praetorian varied between soft goods skirts and sculpted skirts, with the usual pros and cons between the two finishes. The Imperial Praetorian goes with a soft goods option made up of a rear skirt and a front panel held in place by a sculpted belt. Additional layers are then created by a half cape that comes out of the chest armour at the rear and flows to a similar length as the skirt. The fabric used is delicate and with a good colour match to the cast red armour, but like all soft goods at this scale, it lacks any definition and hangs very flat and very sterile, even considering the fluid movements of the Praetorian in combat. The helmet has a Mandalorian feel to it, cast in red with a T-visor painted in black. It is soft in the plastic but is not a hollow helmet; it's just that the design has left a large void under the base of the bell-shaped helmet, giving it space to incorporate the neck of the figure. Our Praetorian is essentially an army-builder release, coming with two different weapons, allowing you to display the figure as two of the three seen in The Mandalorian Season 3. The first of these is a vibro blade cast in grey with a glossier silver blade at one end. It is a two handed piece, with both hands gripping the piece securely and providing a number of offensive of guarding options. The second weapon is the segmented sword, which is created in its flexible, whip-like configuration. It starts with a black cast grip and segmented silver sections with a hint of the pink electro components painted into the recess of the silver section. This is a single-handed weapon, and can be held in either hand with a secure grip. The weapon has a degree of flexibility in its length, but cannot convert back to the fixed blade configuration. The third weapon wielded in the battles with Paz Vizsla and Mando is not included and therefore presents a gap for anyone wanting to assemble all three Praetorian Guards for display. The weapons have also not gone heavy in the effects department, and save the subtle pink colouring on the sword-whip, the bright purple electro effects seen on screen are not replicated in the way we have seen done recently, as either paint work (Commando Droid) or effect pieces (Magna Guard). Articulation is a mix of old and new, with the legs actually featuring pins thanks to their 2017 origins, but Hasbro has created a new upper leg and discarded the thigh swivel, leaving zero rotation in the legs. There is a benefit to the older joints as the knees are extensive in how far they can bend coming with dual joints rather than the more modern single joint. The legs also carry over the loose ankles of the First Order figures; there is free movement in the sides of the ankle rockers, allowing the figure to slip off to the side with no real effort, although the forward motion does feel more secure and with more robust ratchets. The upper torso incorporates a ball joint under the softer plastic chest section, while the neck reverts to a single joint. Arms include butterfly shoulders, enhancing the movement for the melee weapons included, supported by single-joint elbows, and a side pivot wrist. In total, we have 16 points of articulation. The Imperial Praetorian Guard is certainly an enhanced version of the original First Order versions with a more expandisve range of movement in the upper arms and torso than those 2017 figures. The lower legs are a step backwards, mainly by reusing some of the original pinned legs, but not all, creating a definite gap by having no way of rotating either leg from a front-facing position. The Guard also struggles a little with weakness at the ankles, but not quite as bad as the older figures. The overall look is comparable to the red high gloss we see on screen, and the soft goods work reasonably well while not sacrificing the articulation of a very agile Elite warrior. By using multiple layers, these soft goods panels work better than a single skirt or cape, but do still lack character. By including two weapons, Hasbro are inviting us to buy more than one of these - had they bunged in the third Praetorian accessory, we might have been tempted to buy three. A figure with some niggles, but overall a strong addition to the ranks of the Remnant Imperials and providing a bit more balance for Season 3 displays, which have been heavily weighted to the Mandalorians so far.

- Custom: Star Wars Black Series The Mandalorian with updated head from Fantastic Four Marvel Legends release
Star Wars Black Series collectors, and particularly those who collect figures from The Mandalorian, will know that to date the unmasked variants of Pedro Pascal's titular character have been less than impressive. Over at Marvel Legends, they do not appear to have had the same issue in recreating Pascal's Mister Fantastic in the newly released Fantastic Four: First Steps wave. We had to see if that Marvel Legends head would fit onto, and look right, on our Mandalorian figures.... and I am pleased to report that it certainly looks the part and improves either the original or the newer Mandalorian body as an unmasked option. Fit-wise, the Marvel Legends head has a larger socket, so the fit onto the Mandalorian neck peg is loose on both figures, most noticeably on the newer body. This would need to be addressed through packing the hole or by changing the neck pegs.

- McFarlane DC Multiverse Batman (Troika), Azrael Batman, and Batwing
McFarlane's new DC Multiverse releases of Azrael Batman from Knightquest, Batman from Troika, and an updated version 2 Batwing from New 52 are now open for pre-ordering at McFarlane stockists. The figures each come with the usual display stand and collector card as well as appropriate accessories, including alternative hands & a Battarang for Batman. Azrael will include a set of segmented wings, while Batwing comes with a blast effect. The three figures are listed as August 2025 releases. Our extensive McFarlane Collector Database has been updated with these new figures Luke Fox never intended to follow his father, Lucius Fox, into a career with Wayne Industries. Despite a gift for technological innovation equal to his father’s, Luke preferred to go his own way. This attitude frustrated Lucius, who felt his son was squandering his potential and opportunities. While constantly arguing with his father, Luke pursued fighting arts, participating in numerous mixed martial arts events. His intelligence, resolve, and combat skills soon attracted Batman’s attention, and the Dark Knight offered Luke the role of one his agents after original Batwing David Zavimbe retired. Pre-Flashpoint, Jean-Paul Valley’s discovery of his dying father dressed as Azrael changed his life forever. Brainwashed by the System to become the Church of St. Dumas’ assassin, Jean-Paul worked with Batman instead, standing in for the Dark Knight when Bane broke the hero’s back. Unbalanced by his upbringing, Valley became a more violent Batman and wore heavier armor. He later surrendered the mantle to a newly healed Bruce Wayne and set out on his own adventures as Azrael. Bruce Wayne returns to his role as Gotham City's protector, Batman! The Knightfall Saga reaches its conclusion as Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham City! A new era begins, as Batman reinvents himself to take on a new breed of foe. When the Bat-Family declares war against former KGB operatives with plans to take control of Gotham City's underworld, who will come out the victor? In the midst of all of this, Bruce Wayne must also cope with his decision to pass on the mantle of Batman to Jean-Paul Valley To manage our storage costs, news article images are archived after 12-months.
