Hasbro Star Wars Fan Stream January 2025

Writer's picture: MephitsuMephitsu

Updated: Jan 23

Hasbro's first Star Wars Fan Stream of 2025 was held on the 22nd of January with reveals across both The Black Series and The Vintage Collection.

The event started with an intro to the Hasbro Star Wars team and some scene setting that this is the start of a more regular set of touchpoints through 2025 to keep a rhythm of reveals - but this means there is not as many as the quarterly Fan Streams we saw in 2024.


 

Black Series


The Black Series followed a theme of 'The World Between Worlds' from Ahsoka and kicked off with a first look at Anakin Skywalker in a Clone Wars General outfit complete with his lightsaber.



The figure appears to use the majority of the previous 2021 Clone Wars Anakin which itself used much of the older Revenge of the Sith figure from 2014 (2019 Archive Update). There is however a new head sculpt and soft goods included for the full tunic. Anakin is number 17 in the Ahsoka collection.



Anakin will be joined by Captain Rex in his Phase 1 Clone Armour on the new Clone Trooper body. He features a removable helmet and twin blasters. Rex is number 16 in the Ahsoka collection.


These are general releases going live as of the 23rd of January 2025 for a Spring 2025 release with Hasbro Pulse quoting an April 2025 release while other independents have dates as June 2025. UK retailers are listing these figures as part of Wave 21, a six-figure wave with four more to be revealed.


We've updated our comprehensive Star Wars Black Series Checklist with these two new releases.



Both Anakin and Rex had been listed as 'Pipeline' reveals at the July 2024 SDCC Star Wars Panel. With their full reveal we are now only waiting for Moff Gideon in Mandalorian Armour and the Praetorian Guard to be unveiled from the eight figures shown off at SDCC 2024.

(HASBRO | Ages 4 years & up | Approx. Retail Price: $24.99 | Pre-order on January 23 at 1 PM ET on Hasbro Pulse and participating retailers; available Spring 2025) 


In the World Between Worlds, Anakin Skywalker appears to his former Padawan Ahsoka Tano to teach her one last, crucial lesson.

STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES CLONE CAPTAIN REX

Rex served the Republic on the front lines during the Clone Wars, taking orders from Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano first as a captain and later a commander.

Vintage Collection


The Fan Stream started the Vintage Collection coverage by marking the arrival of The Ghost HasLab project with a look at the boxed item. They then showed off some pre-production samples of the figures from the Cantina HasLab including the Tonika Sisters, Wuhur, Greedo, and Nabrun Leids.



The Vintage Collection content also began with the Ahsoka reveals starting with a new Baylan Skoll from Ahsoka complete with orange bladed lightsaber. He will be joined by his apprentice Shin Hati with the same orange hued lightsaber.



The Ahsoka theme, and particularly the 'World between Worlds' flashback scenes with the reveal of the Mandalorian Super Commando. We can also look forward to an updated release of the 501st Clone Trooper as seen in flashback scenes in Ahsoka, but badged as an Obi-Wan Kenobi series release.



These are all Spring 2025 releases, available through general stockists and pre-orders live as of the 23rd of January 2025 in the eUS - we believe UK pre-orders will not be available immediately. We also understand these are part of the same wave as Yord Fandar (The Acolyte) and Obi-Wan Kenobi.,



The reveals then moved to the prequels and a new 4 figure Battlepack of Battle Droids. These have been re-engineered for improved stability with varied weathering and one marked as a Oom commander. This is a Pulse and Disney Store exclusive with Pulse pre-orders starting on the 23rd of January (Disney stocks will follow later in 2025).

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
