New Star Wars Figures Coming Soon - Diecast Black Series, 40th Anniversary Figs and More

[Flux Convoy]

Isn't that just the Black Series Elites?

[Tony_Bacala]

They're listed at 3.5 inches tall, and by Hasbro, so probably not.

Now we know what the new Black Series Rogue One/Episode IV Vader is going to be released in.

Will they have Luke and Leia figures as they appeared on the box? Re-release of Han Solo? McQuarrie figures maybe?!?!

We'll likely see at least some of these at Toy Fair in a couple week.

10cm is 1/18th

15cm is 1/12th

The plastic figures are listed as 6" and the die cast figurines are at 3.5"

I remember taking that Star Wars survey a month or two ago and one of the questions gave options on what we would like to see in future releases. One of those options was dioramas. Could Hasbro actually be listing to their fans!?

IMO, dioramas are the next evolution in the action figure collector market.

I must have misread it. I thought it said 6. Does Hasbro not do the Elites though?,I was certain they did. Not trying to argue, I honestly don't know. I don't collect any Star Wars any more so I'm out of touch.

The Elite Series is done by Disney, and are exclusive to Disney Stores.

I really hope that they re-release R2-D2 in that 40th 6" line because a lot of people missed out on the first wave (myself included) and his price is ludicrous online now. That and we just finally got a 6" 3PO so we need his counterpart again.

The Bandai model kit R2-D2 is a heck of a lot better. Highly recommend it over the Black Series release, but I don't blame people for wanting to pick it up anyway.

Not interested in diorama or display pieces. Just takes up space.

Glad to see some re-releases of the earlier figures. I was a bit underwhelmed by the Black Series initially and passed on the line, which I now somewhat regret.

All I want to know is when ANH Vader is coming out.

[lordbest]

All I want from this is th 40th Anniversary 6" figures to include a Leia with a good head sculpt and Tarkin.

As seen from this custom paint job, the Leia headsculpt we got is pretty good; it's just let down by the paint (or lack thereof).

Really unhappy that Hasbro is introducing another scale that will further push the classic 3.75" into the background. The only SW items I buy are super articulated 3.75" and vehicles...looks like that is becoming a thing of the past now.

I wouldn't say its good, it's better, but the cheekbones are completely wrong.
