At this weekend’s Toy Fair Entertainment Brand Preview event, Hasbro announced that they will be celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. In anticipation of the anniversary happening next year,  Hasbro is letting fans decide which Star Wars character they would like to see added to The Black Series line. Starting today, Tuesday, 2/19, you’ll be able to cast your vote on which Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back character you would like to be seen made into a 6-inch figure.

Rules on voting

  • Only characters from The Empire Strikes Back may be nominated
  • Only 1 vote can be submitted per email address or social handle per day
  • Votes need to be submitted between 12pm EST on Tuesday, February 19th and 11:59pm EST on Thursday, February 21st.

On Friday, we will tally up the top 10 nominees and send them to Hasbro. Hasbro will then collect each fan site’s top 10 and then host a final fan vote on the Hasbro Pulse Instagram on Monday, February 25th.

Now before you cast your vote, please note that the winning figure will not be a retool of a previously released figure. Below we have provided a list of every Black Series 6″ figure that has been released to-date from The Empire Strikes Back.
