Hasbro Unleashes a New Wave of Star Wars Black Series Action Figures from Disney Plus’ Andor

Star Wars Andor Black Series 6 inch action figures for play or display, transport to a galaxy far, far away.

Star Wars® and action figure enthusiasts brace yourselves! Hasbro® recently unveiled their latest lineup of Star Wars Black Series 6 Inch action figures inspired by characters from the highly acclaimed Disney® Plus’ television series, Andor. Known for their extraordinary attention to detail, these action figures capture the essence of each character, thanks to impeccable sculpting and paint applications.

The series’ lead, Cassian Andor, comes to life with remarkable authenticity. The intricate details, from his carefully sculpted hair and facial features to the folds and creases in his coat and boots, bring forth a tangible sense of realism that will make any collector’s heart race. Additionally, Hasbro has released a bonus Black Series figure featuring Cassian in his Aldhani Mission uniform, the attire he wore during the unforgettable Empire Base heist.

The mysterious Luthen Rael figure also impresses with his expressive face, long trench, and intricate details that lend a sense of depth and intrigue to the character. From his cloak’s textured folds to his meticulously carved facial features, this figure embodies the allure of the beloved Star Wars universe.

Hasbro doesn’t hold back in representing the women of Andor either. Vel Sartha, the niece of Senator Mon Mothma, and the Senator herself, are beautifully rendered in miniature form. The Vel Sartha figure captures the essence of her character with detailed facial features and her signature brown bomber jacket and boots. In contrast, Senator Mothma‘s figure boasts of her elegant cream dress robes, along with her recognizable hair and facial details, crafted with precision.

Rounding out the female characters is the versatile Bix Caleen action figure, which excels in replicating the character’s unique features and accessories, ensuring it’s a must-have for any Black Series collector.

As an added bonus, this release features a double figure pack featuring Cassian Andor and the distinctive droid B2EMO. It’s a definite delight for fans who want to complete their Andor ensemble.

Even the Shoretrooper, a seemingly no-name support character from the Andor series, gets the Black Series treatment, showcasing Hasbro’s commitment to providing fans with a comprehensive collection.

The only question that remains: will Hasbro release figures for Kino Loy, Dedra Meero, Syril Karn or Maarva Andor? While the current release doesn’t include these characters, we can only keep our fingers crossed and hope. After all, the Star Wars universe seems infinite, and the possibilities for more incredibly detailed action figures are just as boundless.

Hasbro’s new Star Wars Black Series 6 Inch Andor action figures are a dream come true for Star Wars collectors. Their remarkable attention to detail, true-to-character sculpting, and high-quality materials offer fans a chance to hold a piece of the Star Wars universe right in their hands. Whether for play or display, these action figures promise to transport fans to a galaxy far, far away.

Fisher-Price Little People: A Nostalgic Journey through Pop Culture

What began as faceless wooden peg figures has morphed into a vast collection mirroring our culture in miniature.

For over six decades, Fisher-Price® Little People® have brought joy, entertainment, and imaginative play to children worldwide. Their simple design and bright colors captivated young minds, and their evolution into symbols of pop culture now spans generations. What began as faceless wooden peg figures has morphed into a vast collection mirroring our culture in miniature.

The Fisher-Price Little People story began in the 1950s, as a component of the Fisher-Price “Safety Bus” pull toy. These cylindrical wooden characters, though lacking in detail, were instantly adored by children. Recognizing their popularity, Fisher-Price began producing the Little People independently of their playsets in 1959. In the late ’60s, these figures took on a more familiar form as Fisher-Price switched to plastic production, with rounder bodies and a greater variety of characters.

The company’s first major venture into licensed characters came in the 1970s with a Sesame Street® playset. The iconic TV show’s characters were transformed into Little People figures, marking a milestone that would set a precedent for countless collaborations to come.

In the following decades, they continued to partner with a multitude of brands, reflecting the changing tides of popular culture. This cultural evolution began with the introduction of the Disney® collaborations, which have since become some of the most popular Little People sets. From Disney Princesses including Cinderella, Belle, Rapunzel,and Frozen to Mickey and Minnie and Toy Story, there is something for everyone.

In 2019, we saw a divergence from the traditionally child-focused themes with the release of sets featuring WWE wrestlers Ultimate Warrior and “Macho Man” Randy Savage, and The Beatles Yellow Submarine. That same year, they also commemorated the beloved holiday classic A Christmas Story.

The trend continued into 2020 with sets themed on adult-favorite TV shows like The Office, and iconic franchises such as Masters of the Universe and The Lord of the Rings. Further diversifying their portfolio, Fisher-Price embraced comedy classics with sets for Elf and Golden Girls, and the timeless rock band, The Rolling Stones.

Recent years have seen a deluge of new additions. From the 2022 Emmy-winning comedy series Ted Lasso to the groundbreaking reality TV host, RuPaul, Fisher-Price has proven adept at keeping up with the times. Sports fans have been catered to with the Super Bowl/NFL sets, while anime lovers received a nod with Avatar: The Last Airbender.

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Barbie, Run D.M.C., Seinfeld, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Parks & Recreation, Disney Frozen, Disney Princess, Mickey Mouse, DC Suicide Squad, DC Super Friends, and The Notebook Movie special are all part of this expansive universe of Little People. More recent additions include sets inspired by the acclaimed police sitcom Brooklyn Nine-nine, cult film favorite The Big Lebowski, Disney’s musical sensation Encanto, and the cultural celebration Dia De Los Muertos.

Fisher-Price has also tapped into powerful narratives such as the ‘Inspiring Women‘ series, celebrating iconic women in history, and the Team USA Olympics set, honoring athletic achievement.

While Fisher-Price continues to produce their traditional family, friends, animal, and farm sets, it’s clear that the Little People brand has broadened its appeal. Some might argue that the recent influx of pop culture-themed sets has shifted the target demographic towards Gen-X and Boomer collectors, nostalgically purchasing mementos of their favorite TV shows, movies, and more.

However, Little People have always been about encouraging imagination and storytelling. Whether it’s a toddler playing with a Disney Princess or a Gen-Xer arranging their Seinfeld set, Fisher-Price Little People continue to foster creativity and joy. Their future lies not only in the hands of collectors, but also in those of the children who receive these toys. The Little People line’s expansive and inclusive nature can only serve to inspire future generations with diverse interests. After all, they’re not just toys, they’re a reflection of our evolving culture – an ever-expanding universe in miniature.
