Hasbro Star Wars: The Black Series Inquisitor and Duros Bounty Hunter (Halloween Edition) 2-Pack Review and Images

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means: ToyFarce review!

This week, we're having a look at the Star Wars: The Black Series Inquisitor and Duros Bounty Hunter (Halloween Edition) 2-pack from Hasbro! Yes! More Star Wars Halloween Edition figures! This set is exclusive to Amazon. I'm a sucker for those holiday themed figures, and love Halloween so this was a no-brainer. Could it have been done better? Sure. But I'm still glad we got something!

I thought this set would be available around Halloween, but it came way earlier than I thought (Amazon started to ship them in late July/early August), so I've been keeping it on the side for October. The packaging is quite sober, using purple and orange (official Halloween colors!). Not sure why it came as a 2-pack, while the previous Skeleton Clone Trooper and Wookiee were sold separately, but hey, as long as they don't make me buy each from separate stores like the Christmas ones, I'm fine with it!






The Inquisitor figure has been revamped (pun intended) as a vampire, in the style of Dracula, while Cad Bane (or just a random Duros bounty hunter) has been turned into the Frankenstein Monster. They also come with a vampire Mynock (black with purple wings) and a tiny Anzellan also dressed as the Frankenstein Monster. The Inquisitor comes with a knife and sheath, and a stick (supposed to be a stake?). The Duros bounty hunter has an electrostaff with effects, because electricity! Get it? The figures are pretty standard, using the same mold as the original Black Series ones, even having the blaster holders on the Duros bounty hunter's legs, although he doesn't come with blasters... The Halloween decos are really nice, though!



























I mentioned it could have been done better, so here is my rant: They have Christopher Lee (Count Dooku) and Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin) in the Star Wars world, who both played in a Frankenstein movie (The Curse of Frankenstein, 1957 with Peter Cushing as Victor Frankenstein and Christopher Lee as the Monster) *and* a Dracula movie (Dracula, 1958 with Christopher Lee as Dracula and Peter Cushing as Van Helsing). I imagine it is a licensing issue, but having either of them in this 2-pack would have been a nice nod. (NECA has a great Christopher Lee Dracula figure out right now, so I guess we got that going for us.)



The Star Wars: The Black Series Inquisitor and Duros Bounty Hunter (Halloween Edition) 2-pack is still available on Amazon if you want one!
