Hasbro just wrapped their Fan First Friday Livestream and there were some pretty nice surprises (for once) along with some disappointments.

I received word this morning that for the 50th Anniversary of Lucasfilm, Hasbro plans to re-issue 3 Black Series figures on Episode I style cardbacks like they did for the exclusive Darth Maul and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Figures include Qui-Gon Jinn, Mace Windu and Jar Jar Binks. There is already an overseas online retailer listing these for preorder but I imagine they’ll be pulled down very soon if not already.
These 3 figures correlate to the new list of Black Series code names that I found the other day and are as follows:
“Winter” – Qui-Gon Jinn
“Autumn” – Mace Windu
“Summer” – Jar Jar Binks
Availability is expected to be around March/April. It is unknown who will be offering that at the time of this post but we’ll provide and update when necessary.
Hasbro Pulse has begun processing and shipping preorders for the 6″ Black Series Jar Jar Bink figure. Thanks to sjwoolbert for the image.
There is also word of another female character joining the Black Series line: Aurra Sing. It is unknown at this time if she will be branded as part of The Phantom Menace or The Clone Wars subgroup of figures but whatever the case I hope we get her in her alternate black outfit as well.
Remember, nothing is official until Hasbro confirms or unannounced product is found at retail.
Heesa Back! First rumored back in May 2019, it appears based on some new rumblings from sources on the interwebs that Jar Jar will indeed make it the the Black Series line, possibly as a deluxe figure sometime in late 2020/early 2021. Hopefully, that missing Crait Luke Skywalker is not too far behind.
