"Thank the Maker"
Revealed on StarWars.com is this new Star Wars Black Series figure of George Lucas. George is presented as an Imperial Stormtrooper using the new Imperial Stormtrooper body, complete with a new head sculpt and removable helmet. He will also be packed with an E-11 blaster rifle.
The figure is packed on a Vintage inspired card back and sits under the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary series. It will be up for pre-order on Amazon, and via Fan Channel routes, with the preorder open from 6pm UK (1pm ET) on Wednesday the 29th of September.
George will "report for duty" in 2022, we assume sometime around Spring.
This new George Lucas figure is actually not the first time the film icon has been brought to life in action-figure form. In 2002, Hasbro released the 3.75-inch rebel pilot Jorg Sacul, featuring the likeness of Lucas, as a Star Wars Celebration II exclusive; Lucas next made the jump to the toy aisle for 2006’s 3.75-inch The Saga Collection, appearing as a stormtrooper; and then again in 2006 as Baron Papanoida, his character from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, in the Lucas Collector’s Set. But this is Lucas’ debut in the modern, highly-articulated and detailed 6-inch format provided by the Black Series.
Make room for the Maker when George Lucas (in Stormtrooper Disguise) pre-orders open on Wednesday, September 29, at 1 p.m. ET on Amazon.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's 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 licences - 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...
