Panoramica
The Black Series is Hasbro's flagship action figure line for adult collectors, primarily focused on the 6-inch scale.
As of 2026, the line serves as a central hub for Star Wars merchandise, spanning theatrical releases like 'The Mandalorian & Grogu' and Disney+ animated series such as 'Maul: Shadow Lord.' Positioned as a premium product, it bridges the gap between standard toys and high-end collectibles with a standard MSRP of $27.99.
Storia
Dal suo lancio nel 2013, la linea si è evoluta attraverso diverse ere di packaging e innovazioni tecnologiche, come l'introduzione del sistema di stampa digitale Photo Real nel 2018.
Nel 2026 la serie è tornata alle confezioni trasparenti con finestra per la Galaxy Collection.
Nel luglio 2026, durante il San Diego Comic-Con, Hasbro ha annunciato un nuovo redesign di 'Fase 5' previsto per il 2027 in occasione del 50° anniversario di Star Wars, riprendendo le finiture cromatiche arancioni della linea originale del 2013.
I PEZZI DI STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES
Collezionismo
Collecting The Black Series has become an intricate hobby involving market timing and retail exclusivity. The reintroduction of 'First Edition' white boxes at Walmart and Target has created new 'chase' opportunities for completionists.
Value trends often lean toward 'Legends' and 'Gaming Greats' figures, which feature fan-favorite characters from the Expanded Universe. With Deluxe figures priced at $34.99, the line represents a premium tier of Star Wars collecting where condition and packaging variants significantly impact long-term secondary market value.
Grogu's 2026 figure includes a specific cookie canister accessory from the film.
