It looks like we will see (at least) 4 Black Series figures revealed for The Acolyte as part of today’s fanstream. Look for Jedi Master Sol, Jedi Master Indara, Jedi Padawan Jecki Lon and Mae (Assassin). Based on the images I have, all figures have soft goods Jedi robes or cloak (Mae).
Note: accent color is not representative of the packaging.
Update: a fifth character, Jedi Knight Yord Fandar is to be revealed as well.
Black Series is getting a packaging tweak for 2024. Here is a shot of the Walmart exclusive Mandalorian Nite Owl with the new look.
Starting in Fall 2024, fans can expect the new packaging design across G.I. JOE and TRANSFORMERS, along with premier collaboration brands Star Wars™ and Marvel 6-inch collector figures.
The new packaging structure features improved visibility of the figure and accessories, more robust packaging materials to protect against damage, and an improved unboxing experience for the figure and accessories.
This new structure will also provide consistency across package size and design aesthetics for collectors who purchase figures across our brands.”
In regards (sic) to more retro style packaging for Marvel/Star Wars & the like, those elements will remain untouched and intact for your continued collecting.
The Acolyte starts Tuesday, June 4, with a two-episode premiere on Disney+. More info at StarWars.com
