Rumored Upcoming Star Wars Toy Unveiling Encompasses a Mobile Droid Model
In 2023, we're gearing up for a plethora of new Star Wars content, but when it comes to dropping fresh Star Wars merchandise, Hasbro's keeping its cards close to its chest for 2024. Kicking off its intergalactic livestream extravaganza, Hasbro's unveiling was packed with a mix of oldies-but-goodies and a few surprises thrown in.
Don't be fooled, though; there were some standouts among the classic reissues and repaints. For instance, in the 6″ Black Series line, Hasbro's shooting for the stars with its first-ever Destroyer Droid. This bad boy, a nod to the 25th anniversary of "Phantom Menace," can transform into a rolling menace, perfect for knocking down your action figure friends or acting as a quirky bowling ball for your shelf. Add to that the latest Ahsoka Tano figure, inspired by Lars Mikkelsen's portrayal in the series. But wait for it, folks! This badass babe won't be gracing our shelves until spring 2025.
For fans of "Star Wars Rebels," there's good news in the form of a Sabine Wren and Chopper two-pack, inspired by the fourth season of the animated series. The packaging, reminiscent of the figurines from the successfully crowdfunded HasLab Ghost project, rounds out the team for collectors who backed the campaign. But don't worry, this dynamic duo will be available for a limited-time pre-order for anyone who wants to jump aboard the spaceship, not just HasLab backers (which means it doesn't come with the $500 Ghost price tag).
So check out the pictures of the unveiled glories, including sneak peeks of toys expected to hit shelves over the next year and beyond. Pre-orders for most of the revealed figurines will commence on January 24, 2023, at 1 p.m. ET on Hasbro Pulse and other select retailers—except for the Sabine and Chopper two-pack, with pre-orders closing a few weeks later on February 14, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
While the latest pre-orders starting from January 24, 2023, weren't detailed in the search results, the Star Wars community is buzzing with excitement about forthcoming releases celebrating major anniversaries and series milestones. From Andor and "Revenge of the Sith" figures to merch from "The Mandalorian" Season 3, there's a galaxy of toys waiting to land on your shelves. So keep your eyes peeled and your credit cards at the ready, gang, because it's about to get real geeky up in here!
