Gizmodo has also revealed a new take on the 6″ Black Series format. Reminiscent of Hasbro’s “Unleashed” line of static figures from a few years ago, the Centerpiece assortment features dynamically posed figures with a display base featuring light effects and sounds. Look for these at retail later this fall for $50 each.
Gizmodo has posted the first look at the rumored 3.75″ Black Series die cast figures from the 40th Anniversary Collection. The line launches soon with 5 characters from A New Hope that includes Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo. Each $15 figure includes an interlocking display base and backdrops featuring a film setting and character portrait. Click the image above for a closer look.
