Announcement

Star Wars TBS was first announced by Hasbro in January 2013 in an article by USA Today written by Brian Truitt. Although this was not Hasbro's first foray into collectible 6" action figures it is the most recent. The line of toys was released in response to the hype revolved around the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, in an order to monetize on the renewed interest in the brand. The figures typically start at MSRP of $19.99.

40th anniversary 6-inch action figures

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the release of Star Wars: A New Hope, Hasbro announced the 6-inch Black Series Legacy Editions at the New York City Toy Fair in February 2017. First released in spring 2017, the series mirrored the original Kenner toy releases, including throwback packaging with cardboard backing and a plastic bubble containing the figure. The series reissued previous figures in the Black Series rather than updated models.

  1. Han Solo
  2. Luke Skywalker
  3. Princess Leia Organa
  4. Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi
  5. Artoo Detoo (R2-D2)
  6. Death Squad Commander
  7. Chewbacca
  8. Stormtrooper
  9. Jawa
  10. See-Threepio (C-3PO)
  11. Sand People
  12. Legacy Pack with Darth Vader

The Legacy Pack includes a display stand for 12 figures with a reversible cardboard backdrop. It is an homage to the "Early Bird Kit" pre-order for Star Wars figures by Kenner in 1977. Production was not going to meet the holiday season, so the pre-order promotion offered a certificate that could be sent in to claim 4 of the 12 initial figures of the toy line when they became available: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2), and Chewbacca. The kit included a cardboard backdrop, sticker sheet, club membership card, and the certificate. Figures were shipped beginning in February 1978.

Force FX lightsabers

The movie quality lightsaber toys have gone through many changes over the years. They were originally released as FX-Lighsabers by the company Master Replicas, however, the product line was taken over by Hasbro in 2008 where the name changed to Signature FX-Lighstaber. The name was changed a final time when they were released under The Black Series to Force FX Lightsabers. They are high quality reproductions that light up and create sound effects when powered-on, powered-off, and when they impact objects. These sounds replicate the movie sound effects, to create a high quality display toy.

  1. Yoda - Attack of the Clones (Green)
  2. Darth Vader - A New Hope (Red)
  3. Luke Skywalker - A New Hope (Blue)
  4. Kylo Ren - The Force Awakens (Red with Cross Hilt)
  5. Luke Skywalker - Return of the Jedi (Green)
  6. Obi-Wan Kenobi - Revenge of the Sith (Blue)
  7. Rey (Jedi Training) - The Last Jedi (Blue)

Helmets

The Helmets are designed to be worn and include an electronic element that is meant to change the wearers voice to recreate the magic of the movies. There have only been very few released as of today, with one of them being an Amazon exclusive. These items are very popular with collectors, and can be difficult to find. The replicas are very close to movie quality for a mass-produced item.

  1. Kylo Ren
  2. Stormtrooper
  3. Shadow Trooper (Amazon Exclusive)
  4. Poe Dameron
  5. Darth Vader
