Star Wars Celebration 2023: Black Series Bad Batch Season 2 reveals



The first Star Wars Black Series reveals of Star Wars Celebration came on the first Day with the news that a new wave of Bad Batch figures are incoming.


The Bad Batch will all be released in their Series 2 Mercenary Gear with standard releases of Omega, Hunter, Tech, and Echo. There will then be a Deluxe release for Wrecker. Also included is a new Clone Commando figure as featured heavily in Season 2.


Omega is a general release and arrives in Spring 2024 so is potentially part of the same wave as the Tusken Raider Chieftain and Pike Soldier. She can be pre-ordered from the 11th of April 2023. The rest of the figures are exclusive to Walmart in the US and have an Autumn 2023 release date, with pre-orders opening on May the 4th. In the UK they will likely be sold via Hasbro Pulse and the Fan Channel retailers.


It is worth noting that in the promo blurb Wrecker is priced at the same $24.99 price point as the other figures - we suspect that may be an error and his price will be corrected.

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...
