Star Wars 'Gift the Galaxy' Vintage Collection IG-12 and Black Series Baylan Skoll Force FX lightsaber

Week two of the Gift the Galaxy program from Hasbro and Amazon featured reveals in both the Vintage Collection and the Black Series Roleplay line.


From The Mandalorian and released as a Vintage Collection carded deluxe figure is the updated IG-12 with Grogu as the pilot along with one the Anzellan Droidsmiths. And taken from Ahsoka on Disney+ is a Black Series Force FX Roleplay release of Baylan Skoll's lightsaber.


Both items will be exclusive to Amazon and Hasbro Pulse and pre-orders are live as of the 20th November 2024 with a Spring 2025 release date.



STAR WARS: THE VINTAGE COLLECTION IG-12, GROGU & ANZELLAN

(HASBRO | Ages 4 years & up | Approx. Retail Price: $24.99 | Available: Spring 2025)

 

Clever Anzellan droidsmiths have refurbished IG-11’s salvaged parts into a pilotable frame for Grogu, who can operate the droid body like a vehicle. Stripped to base motor functions, the droid has been renamed IG-12. Inspired by the STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN live-action series on Disney+, this 3.75-inch scale action figure set comes with IG-12’s blaster accessory and makes a great addition to any fan’s collection. Pose either Grogu or the Anzellan out or inside IG-12’s torso to recreate scenes from the show. Inspired by the original line, these collectibles feature premium detail and design across product and packaging, as well as collector-grade deco that fans have come to know and love.

 

Calling back to the original 1970s and 1980s vintage toys, the included figure features Kenner branding and package design with a unique VC number for collectability (VC #358). Celebrate the legacy of STAR WARS with premium vehicles, playsets, and action figures from STAR WARS: THE VINTAGE COLLECTION (additional products each sold separately, subject to availability). Available for pre-order on November 20 at 1PM ET on Hasbro Pulse and participating retailers.



STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES FORCE FX ELITE BAYLAN SKOLL LIGHTSABER

(HASBRO | Ages 14 years & up | Approx. Retail Price: $249.99 | Available: Spring 2025)

 

After the fall of the Jedi and the Empire, Baylan Skoll remains a shrewd fighter in search of power who believes another war is inevitable. Reimagine iconic scenes from the STAR WARS saga -- and create your own -- with BLACK SERIES Lightsaber and helmet roleplay items. This collectible BLACK SERIES Force FX Lightsaber is detailed to look like the Baylan Skoll Lightsaber from the STAR WARS: AHSOKA™ live-action series on Disney+. Combining advanced LEDs and entertainment-inspired sound effects, the Force FX Elite Lightsaber is the most realistic STAR WARS Lightsaber yet. Use the switch and button on the hilt to activate sound effects, progressive ignition, battle clash effect, blaster deflect, wall-cutting effect, duel effect, and battle sequence mode. This saber features a blade color unique to Baylan Skoll’s signature weapon. Requires 3x 1.5v AA alkaline batteries (not included).

 

Proudly display this electronic Lightsaber on the included stand, with or without the removable blade. STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES roleplay items make impressive additions to any STAR WARS adult costume collection. Look for other premium adult roleplay items such as BLACK SERIES helmets (each sold separately, subject to availability). Available for pre-order on November 20 at 1PM ET on Hasbro Pulse and participating retailers.

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...
