Star Wars 12″ Titan Series Upgraded for 2026

Hasbro’s Star Wars Titan Hero Series line affectionately referred to as their “shampoo bottle” figures get an upgrade for 2026. Each figure (The Mandalorian, Darth Maul and Darth Vader) now looks to feature much needed articulation enhancement to get them in to more dynamic stances. The name also get a slight revision, dropping the “Hero” from the title. Pricing as far as I’ve found carries over from the previous line at around $10 each. There is also an upgraded Stormtrooper which we will add later.

First Look: Hasbro’s 4.5″ ActionVerse Darth Vader

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.

Missing the Mark: TVC Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced Missing Sticker

TVC Darth Vader TIE Advanced are arriving to collectors and sadly, they neglected to include a sticker for the targeting computer as shown on the packaging and solicitation images. “I have you now” though as I took some quick measurements and put together one for you to download. Simply print out the attached image on sticker/label paper – the final trim size (gray line) should be 12mm x 7mm.

Whether intentional or accidental, it’s sad that a $139.99 priced vehicle is missing such detail.
