2017 is a Brobdingnagian twelvemonth for Star Wars — not only isThe Last Jedi on the way , not only has it been 20 years sincethe special editions changed the saga and fandom always , but it ’s also the entire franchise ’s fortieth birthday . That think , naturally , that there ’s going to be some sweet Star Wars merch to observe , and we ’ve got a first look .
Hasbro will be launching tons of novel toys and ware to tie into the 40th anniversary throughout the twelvemonth — staring this spring , with a new range of 3.75 - in Black Series statuette and a newfangled anniversary edition of Star Wars Monopoly .
The 3.75 - inch figurines in the fresh Titanium series will retail for $ 15 each , and are all based on A New Hope . While they ’re still diecast figurines rather than poseable natural process figures , each of the six — Darth Vader , Obi - Wan Kenobi , Luke Skywalker , Princess Leia , and Han Solo — also have accessories like FX piece for their weapons , as well as their own particular backcloth . The backdrops admit two different insert , a backdrop from the movies , and also character graphics that can be connected to other Titanium series figure stands to complete the full scene .
The newfangled 40th day of remembrance edition of Star Wars Monopoly will retail for $ 30 , and feature six special tokens based on A New Hope — Luke ’s 10 - Wing helmet , his sandspeeder , a Stormtrooper helmet , R2 - D2 , the Death Star , and the Millennium Falcon — as well as a newly designed board boast authoritative Star Wars post horse art and scenes from the original flick . ( Although I ’m not sure why the death of the Death Star is one of the most valuable daub on the plug-in , consider it ’s a lot of itty little bits of battlestation bit and not much else . )
by and by this year , alongside the wave of merchandise based on The Last Jedi , there ’ll be even more 40th - day of remembrance miniature . The 6 - inch Black Series figures will be getting their own line of figurine call the “ Centerpiece ” range of mountains . If you call back the old “ Star Wars Unleashed ” toys from the early 2000s , they ’re a fortune like that : inactive figurines of fictitious character in active poses on exceptional stands , made to look like recreation of key moments from cinema across the saga .
There ’s one key dispute with these unexampled ace . though — the unsparing new scene base will include light up effects to make each figurine even more of a display piece , and on top of that , will boast additional peg so multiple figures can be placed on a single base . The line will recoil off with a newfangled version of Luke in his pilot gear from Empire Strikes Back , and each chassis will betray for $ 50 .
last , the toys in fall will be joined by a novel serial of Black Series Lightsaber prop , continuing on the line that was revitalize in 2015 for The Force Awakens . The new chain of mountains coming later this year will include a new version of Obi - Wan Kenobi ’s own lightsaber ( for $ 180 ) , with a light - up , metal hilt and the needed sound effect .
