Hasbro has officially announced, despite samples leaking out during last year’s holiday season, the next wave of Holiday Edition Black Series figures! These figures are Christmas/Winter-inspired redecos of popular Black Series figures from years past. Like last time, each figure includes a little companion figure, which are reissued with new deco as well. All of the figures in this wave are exclusive to different stores, with various release dates:
- 10/25 – FO Stormtrooper at Amazon
- 11/1 – Wookiee at Gamestop
- 11/1 – Protocol Droid at EE and BBTS
- 11/1 – Scout Trooper at Wal*Mart
- 11/1 – Phase II Clone at Hasbro Pulse/Shop Disney
- 11/16 – Mando Warrior at Target
These are being announced before the Halloween-inspired figures have yet to appear at retail. While these figures are clearly appealing to completist and holiday fans, the increased price makes them a little harder to freely collect. We would love to see a line like this come to a non-collector 3 3/4″ line much like those released in the late ’90s and early ’00s.
