For the previous 12 months, that is what has occurred right here on io9 each time Hasbro has introduced a brand new determine for its Star Wars Black Sequence line.
James Whitbrook: “Germain, Hasbro simply dropped some new Black Sequence Pictures.”
Germain Lussier: “Are any of them The Stranger from The Acolyte with a detachable helmet revealing the face of Manny Jacinco?”
Whitbrook: *Silence* “No, it’s not.”
With out exaggeration, we’ve had that dialog a minimum of a dozen instances for the reason that launch of The Acolyte final 12 months, each single time new Black Sequence have been launched. However, this weekend, lastly, James was capable of give me a real Miracle on thirty fourth Avenue second. “Sure, Germain, there’s a Stranger Black Sequence.”
Amongst a slew of latest releases introduced at San Diego Comedian-Con 2025, our first Black Sequence determine of the villainous Stranger from The Acolyte, has been revealed. And whereas no, he doesn’t have a detachable helmet, he does have a detachable head that swaps out to disclose the visage of Qimir. It’s possible you’ll keep in mind that, oddly, Qimir was the one major solid member who didn’t get a toy when the Star Wars present debuted final 12 months. And, even weirder, they didn’t make a toy of the principle villain. They may’ve simply performed each, making the fearsome helmet simply the determine’s head to guard the spoiler. However now, it has occurred. And it’s definitely worth the wait. Listed here are a number of photographs.
The Stranger Black Sequence will probably be out there to preorder on Hasbro Pulse July 26 at 5 p.m. EST. My solely concern is, do I order two? One to show as Qimir and one because the Stranger? Additionally, what’s my obsession now? Truly, that one is straightforward. I would like Luke Skywalker in his Crait Pressure Ghost outfit from the top of Star Wars: The Final Jedi. Come on, Hasbro, outdated buddy, don’t let me down.
