the latest buzz from the galaxy far, far away—Hasbro’s new Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 3 themed figures in their beloved Black Series lineup. Grab a comfy seat, and let’s unpack these cosmic treasures together.
First up, let’s chat about the lineup. Hasbro is taking us on a nostalgic ride back to The Mandalorian with some fresh faces and a few familiar droids. Yes, the droids! We’re getting a four-pack that’s brimming with personality—R5-D4, BD-72, and a duo of those ever-comical Pit Droids. But there’s more, my friends. We’ve also got a Mandalorian Privateer making his debut, and oh boy, does he look ready to plunder the Outer Rim or what?
Wild bantha chase
These figures, exclusive to Target in the U.S., have stirred up quite the stormtrooper-sized dust-up. Why? Because my fellow collectors in the UK might find themselves on a bit of a wild bantha chase to snag these exclusives. A bit of a pickle indeed, since international fans will likely have to rely on resellers or cross their fingers for a wider release.
Now, let’s talk about the details. The craftsmanship? Top-notch, as we’ve come to expect from Hasbro. These figures come with the fine articulation points perfect for posing, which means they’re not just collectibles—they’re storytellers. Place them in diorama settings, and voilà, you’ve got yourself a slice of the Star Wars universe.
Thermal detonator
As a seasoned collector and restorer, I’m always on the lookout for figures that not only look good on a shelf but also stir something in the soul. These new entries tick those boxes, but the limited availability does throw in a bit of a thermal detonator into our collecting plans.
For those feeling a bit left out across the pond, my advice is to keep your sensors tuned to online communities and specialty stores. Sometimes, the Force works in mysterious ways, and you might just find these treasures making their way to your collections.
