Hasbro Black Series

The popular Star Wars action figure line 'The Black Series' from Hasbro has been running faithfully for around seven years now. The line, which has brought a great many new and classic Star Wars characters to plastic life, has seen some notable improvements over its lifespan. One of these major advancements was the introduction of 'Photo Real' technology that enabled Hasbro to create pitch-perfect likenesses by literally 'printing" a photo of an actor onto a figure's head.

And while there are still some glaring character omissions in the toy line, Hasbro has been chugging away to fulfill most fans' wishlists.

Today, Hasbro unveiled several new Black Series offerings, including re-releases of the entire Ghost Crew from Star Wars Rebels with improved, photo real facial features and an all new rendition of Garazeb "Zeb" Orrelios.

Additionally, these new figures mark the introduction of a newly refreshed packaging design with custom art on the side of the box.
