Toy Fair – Hasbro Photos: Black Series 6″ Figures

The new 6″ Black Series has so far been rather impressive.  The Sandtrooper looks outstanding and the R2-D2, which includes several key accessories, may be the best version of our favorite astromech at any scale.  Priced at $19.99, there are two waves scheduled for this year.

A San Diego Comic-Con exclusive set which will include Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite will be a preview to the August release.  Boba Fett is slated to be released to regular retail but the Carbonite accessory will only be available at SDCC.

Darth Maul features some soft goods on his outfit but Hasbro said that the use of soft goods and plastic will be up to the designer of each figure.  The Tatooine robe that comes with Maul, for example, will be molded.

Cases should include 6 figures each and Hasbro mentioned that they’d be packed out heavier on the more popular characters and that they’d favor Original Trilogy characters over those from the Prequels.  Hasbro is open to Expanded Universe and Clone Wars characters if the line is a success, but there are no plans for them at this time.
