Previously released ROTS figures also available online:

• R2-D2

In my opinion today’s livestream was mostly a nothingburger for Black Series collectors.

All that was shown are either repacks, retools or repaints.

• Shore Trooper / Death Trooper troop builder 2-pack
• Sandtrooper (first time on the new Stormtrooper body and with one new blaster)
• Clone Lieutenant Galle (some new parts)
• Aayla Secura (ROTS Anniversary line)
• Magnaguard (ROTS Anniversary line, recolored in metallic blue)
• Force FX Elite Ezra Bridger lightsaber

The two ROTS figures are Walmart exclusives, pre-order here starts on May 4th at 10 am ET. Everythings else will be up for pre-order at 1 pm. Note: the troop builder pack will only be available for pre-order for non Pulse Premium people at 2 pm.

The figures are released in summer/fall 2025. Photos will follow in an update later!

Hasbro will launch their annual May the 4th Be With You livestream tomorrow (Friday) May 2 at 11 AM Eastern. 

Mark your calendars, STAR WARS collectors. The Force calls on May 2nd.

Join us on Friday, May 2nd, at 11:00am ET for a special STAR WARS Fanstream—just in time to kick off your May the 4th celebrations early.

The Hasbro STAR WARS team will be taking over the studio on the Hasbro Pulse YouTube channel with a galaxy of fresh reveals and updates across STAR WARS The Black Series and The Vintage Collection. Don’t miss it!

The next Target exclusive in The Black Series lineup, Director Orson Krennic (Dress Uniform), is now available for pre-order. Click here to visit the product page.

Amazon has the Celebration Japan exclusive The Black Series Ronin & R5-D56 Visions set back in stock. Click here for the product page.

Hasbro signed a multi-year extension to their licensing agreement with Disney and will keep making Star Wars and Marvel action figures! In a press release the toymaker said this:

Under the extended agreement, Hasbro will continue to develop a wide range of products for families and fans of all ages, based on the iconic brands. This includes bringing characters from the Star Wars galaxy to life in action figure form through the highly popular lines, The Black Series and The Vintage Collection, as well as engaging new generations of fans with Lightsabers toys and other kids’ and preschool toys themed around characters from Darth Vader to The Mandalorian.

My own guess is that Hasbro probably has more favorable conditions now, given the current state of Star Wars at least. Either way, this is good news for all those who want continuity. And objectively speaking the action figures made by Hasbro have never been better. The only remaining question is how Hasbro will deal with the tariffs. But both parties involved are apparently confident that Star Wars and Marvel is in good hands at Hasbro and that both toylines can and will have a bright future.

If you missed out on Amazon, Hasbro Pulse has the Celebration Japan exclusive The Black Series Ronin & R5-D56 Visions set available (while supplies last). Click here for the product page.
