Star Wars Droids Stormtrooper Gets Cel-Shaded Black Series Figure

Get ready, Star Wars collectors! Hasbro is diving deep into forgotten lore, bringing the cult classic 1985 animated series Droids into the premium 6-inch Black Series line. This is a significant shift, moving the unique charm of Droids beyond The Vintage Collection and into the collector-favorite scale.

First up is a standout Imperial Stormtrooper. This isn't your average trooper; it boasts a special cel-shaded deco, faithfully recreating its look from the quirky 80s cartoon. Complete with a blaster, electrostaff, and Kenner-inspired card back packaging (plus a collectible coin!), it’s a nostalgic treat.

The Droids series, if you remember, chronicled the early adventures of C-3PO and R2-D2 before the original trilogy. It’s a beloved, if niche, piece of Star Wars animation history. Fans can also look forward to R2-D2, C-3PO, and even Boba Fett joining the line.

Pre-orders are live on Hasbro Pulse for $27.99, but brace yourselves: these won't arrive until September 2026. That's a long wait for such a cool throwback!
