Hasbro Star Wars: The Black Series Holiday Edition 2023 Review and Images

Reposted from ToyNewsI



This week, we're having a look at the Star Wars: The Black Series Holiday Edition figures from 2023 from Hasbro. This year, it was WAY easier to get those, thanks to Hasbro Pulse distributing nearly all of them outside of the US. I didn't have to ask for help from a friend to go and grab the exclusives from different stores, just had to place one order on Hasbro Pulse, and one on Amazon. YAY! This year's figure have a bit more variety, and are not just Stormtroopers or Clone troopers repaints, which is great. Ho ho ho!

The Mandalorian Scout is the first one I got this year, and was an Amazon exclusive. He comes with his jetpack, a blaster and a festive Anzellan figure. This Mandalorian looks pretty great, and could be used even outside of holidays, since he's not too 'loud' about it. He has an ugly sweater, but I imagine customizers will just repain that to have a normal blue Mandalorian Scout.








The Purge Trooper was a 'fan-channel' exclusive figure in the US, and was available at BigBadToyStore or Entertainment Earth. He comes with a blaster rifle and a golden mouse droid. He is painted as a nutcracker, which suits him very well, and is way more fun than just red and green colors.







The Christmas Jawa was also a 'fan-channel' exclusive figure, and was available at BigBadToyStore or Entertainment Earth. That Jawa comes with a blaster attached to his belt, and a green, festive Salacious Crumb, which is articulated too (so it's a 2-pack?). The red and white cape for the Jawa was a great idea. Imagine Jawas replacing Christmas elves!






The KX Security Droid was a Walmart exclusive in the US, and comes with a blaster and a BD-1 droid. It's a fun repaint, I've always liked the design of those, and adding a Christmas touch (white with red and green parts) does suit him well. It fills the "abominable snowman" place that the white Wookiee filled last year.







The white Ewok figure was exclusive to Hasbro Pulse. It comes with a stick, a bright red chest and a Porg. It's a pretty fun figure too, but somehow, I feel like it's not christmas-y enough. A white ewok with a green hood seems like it can exist and isn't something that only screams 'holidays'. Also, an Ewok and a Porg in the same packaging? Are they trying to make Star Wars purists mad?!








Last but not least, the Target Exclusive Snowtrooper. Another fun design for the trooper in that wave, one was a nutcracker and this one is a snowman, complete with carrot nose and all. He comes with his backpack, a rifle and a white interrogator droid. It looks so goofy it's just great.
