The ‘Star Wars’ Black Sequence Determine We have Been Ready For Is Lastly Right here

For the previous 12 months, that is what has occurred right here on io9 every time Hasbro has announced a brand new determine for its Star Wars Black Series line.

James Whitbrook: “Germain, Hasbro simply dropped some new Black Sequence Photos.”

Germain Lussier: “Are any of them The Stranger from The Acolyte with a detachable helmet revealing the face of Manny Jacinco?”

Whitbrook: *Silence* “No, it isn’t.”

With out exaggeration, we’ve had that dialog at the least a dozen instances for the reason that launch of The Acolyte final 12 months, each single time new Black Sequence have been launched. However, this weekend, lastly, James was in a position to give me a real Miracle on thirty fourth Avenue second. “Sure, Germain, there’s a Stranger Black Sequence.”

Amongst a slew of latest releases introduced at San Diego Comedian-Con 2025, our first Black Sequence determine of the villainous Stranger from The Acolyte, has been revealed. And whereas no, he doesn’t have a detachable helmet, he does have a detachable head that swaps out to disclose the visage of Qimir. You might keep in mind that, oddly, Qimir was the only main cast member who didn’t get a toy when the Star Wars present debuted final 12 months. And, even weirder, they didn’t make a toy of the main villain. They may’ve simply carried out each, making the fearsome helmet simply the determine’s head to guard the spoiler. However now, it has occurred. And it’s well worth the wait. Listed here are a number of photographs.

The Stranger Black Sequence will probably be accessible to preorder on Hasbro Pulse July 26 at 5 p.m. EST. My solely concern is, do I order two? One to show as Qimir and one because the Stranger? Additionally, what’s my obsession now? Really, that one is simple. I would like Luke Skywalker in his Crait Pressure Ghost outfit from the tip of Star Wars: The Final Jedi. Come on, Hasbro, outdated buddy, don’t let me down.
