Fans of *Star Wars Jedi: Survivor* were thrilled to see new figures in this latest wave, including a Nightsister Merrin figure and a three-pack set featuring Cal Kestis, Turgle, and Skoova Stev. Cal's figure comes with multiple head options, including a highly requested handlebar mustache variant. Jing Houle shared the fun behind this choice: "Honestly, we just wanted to have fun with it. This is one of my favorite packs that we revealed in the panel. We actually started with the handlebar mustache and the mullet and then added in the clean cut. Then the short beard later. So for us, the primary look is almost the handlebar and it's just so much fun."

Merrin's inclusion was a must, given her integral role in the *Fallen Order/Survivor* saga. Chris Reiff discussed the challenges of capturing her unique Force abilities: "It's tough to have Cal without Merrin. So we're glad we finally got to Merrin, but doing that Force effect, the green blast coming there, all the great detail of that new costume and the face tattoos with the inkjet. Just some beautiful subtlety going on there. She's a really cool character I know we know fans are invested in and really being able to build out that world."

The lineup also features refreshed versions of Han Solo and Chewbacca, two staples of the Star Wars universe. Despite numerous past releases, Houle believes there's always room for improvement: "I mean, we haven't done them in a long time. They needed an update, so we gave them fully new tools so they're brand new with the latest articulation so that fans can really celebrate and enjoy... classic characters out again in the latest technology and articulation that we have. And they've made quite a few updates on top of the articulation just in general. We learned a lot from the Wookiees that we've done where they have really long hair."

Houle elaborated on the enhancements: "And so, despite the long hair, having softer plastics so he can still pivot and move his head in a seamless way, that was really important to us. And we added articulation into Han too, but we didn't give him the thigh break because we didn't want to separate the red bars on his right side of the outside of the thigh. So we thought it was important to keep that clean. So we added articulation to the top of the boot instead."

Among the standout figures is The Ronin, inspired by the anime anthology series *Star Wars: Visions*. This black-and-white figure, accented only by his red katana lightsaber, is a Celebration-exclusive release. Houle and Reiff emphasized the importance of detail: "I love that we kept to it," Houle says. "And then taking from learnings from what we know about Japanese culture and stuff, the way the box is built, how premium it looks, the magnets that let it open, how clean it looks, the watercoloring, the accessories that's hidden on the top of the box so you don't just see it. Everything. There was so much attention from packaging to design to engineering."

Reiff added, "And even the Japanese language for this exclusive packaging, we don't do that normally, but for here, because we're here in Japan, we wanted to really embrace all that and do a special package that was just Japanese language for that too."

Hasbro also delighted fans of the 1:1 scale Black Series helmet line with a new Death Trooper helmet, detailed to perfection. Chris Reiff shared, "[It's] a great fully new tooled helmet for the Black series Premium roleplay line. It looks like it's straight out of the movie with the weathering, the lighting detail, and you poke a button on the side and you control the chin lights and the spectre sensor lights over on the side. So, just a great addition to our line. And working with Lucasfilm in partnership to work from original files so that we could really nail all the details of this helmet and then add our own stuff to the inside because the real ones never had an inside, but this one does. All our other helmets, it has the full detailed interior."
