The past 24 hours have been rife with discussion on the advancing progress of Hasbro’s commitment to removing plastic from their packaging by the end of 2022. Yesterday’s Marvel Legends Livestream gave collectors their first official look at the redesigned packaging for several products that incorporate the windowless form factor. Star Wars Black Series collectors can expect something very similar to be implemented this year as well. Last year, we exclusively shared Hasbro-proposed designs for the Black Series and now sights are set on what will happen to the beloved Vintage Collection, Retro Collection and even the 6″ Kenner-style carded Black Series figures.
Entertainment Weekly has posted and exclusive first look at images from the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series on Disney+. Head on over to check out Obi-Wan, Inquisitor Reva, Uncle Owen and more.
With the recent announcement of Black Krrsantan (code name “January”) and the discovery of code name “September” a few weeks ago for the Black Series line, we think we can safely report the preorder of 4 Lucasfilm Publishing figures this year. This would mirror last year’s fan channel release of 4 comic-based sets for Lucasfilm’s 50th Anniversary campaign. Hopefully the remaining 3 will be better received than Black Krrsantan.
