As a follow up to our previous report, here is your first look at Hasbro’s new 4.5″ ActionVerse Darth Vader figure. This is a new scale assortment that doesn’t conflict with our beloved Vintage Collection or Retro Collection collector-targeted lines. As you can see, this slightly stylized design features 9 POA (neck, shoulders, elbows, hips, & knees) and includes an accessory sprue to store extra accessories including a snap together MSE Droid. Figures are compatible with other 4.5″ ActionVerse figures, playsets, and vehicles. Retail for these basic figures is less than $10.

Posting a quick follow-up to our previous report on a potential new line of Star Wars figures from Hasbro dubbed “ActionVerse“.
As suspected, ActionVerse looks to be a re-brand of the kid-targeted Epic Hero Series/Epic World of Action line that is populated by characters from the Star Wars/Marvel/Spider-Man universes. While specific details are limited yet for Star Wars*, some images for the Spider-Man line (including Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Ghost-Spider and Venom) seem to confirm the 4″ scale remains as well as the added articulation for most figures. The newness – apart from the sculpts – seems to come in the form of how the weapons & accessories are handled. The various colors of translucent plastic carries forward but now they come on a translucent sprue (like model kit parts) which also serves double purpose as a holder for all of the accessories (5) using a hole & peg system. Like the line’s predecessors, single characters, vehicles and multipacks (with exclusive figures) will form the basis of 2026 ActionVerse line.
If this line interests you, you can find preliminary listings on our Master List under the ActionVerse menu.
*Details described above may not reflect how the Star Wars line is handled but best guess is that ActionVerse line will be comparable across brands.
For a few weeks now we’ve been adding code names and products to our Master List and have continued to run across new product names for a Hasbro line called “Action Verse/ActionVerse“. It is unclear if this is another rebrand of the Epic World of Action (previously Epic Hero Series) or a new iteration of the 4″ scale. The pricing does seem to parallel the “Epic” lines and the character selection and types of products also seem very similar. There are Basic Figures ($9.99). Deluxe Figures ($14.99), Vehicles ($19.99) and Multipacks ($34.99).
Among the character names I’ve added, I have also included a listing for an AT-RT ($29.99) which I surmise is probably from The Mandalorian & Grogu movie next year.
