Disney’s D23 Expo kicks off on August 14th. In preparation for the event, they have announced a new slate of collectibles and other merchandise coming to Disney Stores. Among the announcement is word of an all new series of highly articulated die-cast metal Star Wars figures. The new line is being called Star Wars Elite Series. Details from D23:
Star Wars—Disney Store will launch an exclusive collection of Star Wars items at D23 EXPO on Friday, August 14. The collection will feature apparel, collectibles, and toys, including the Star Wars Elite Series, a new line of highly articulated and detailed die cast action figures, representing characters from Star Wars Episodes I-VI. The action figures will be sold individually at Disney Store locations beginning later this year; however, D23 EXPO attendees have the opportunity to purchase the full set of Star Wars Elite Series action figures, which includes D23 EXPO-exclusive versions of R2-D2 and C-3PO.
Additionally at D23 EXPO, Disney Store will introduce Star Wars Legion Helmets, a series of eight vinyl collectible helmets inspired by the Star Wars Legion Helmet project launched in early 2014. Celebrating creativity and Star Wars, the project pulled together artists from across The Walt Disney Company, resulting in 300 Stormtrooper helmets being transformed into diverse pieces of art, which inspired these collectible recreations—epic additions to every Empire.
No photos of the Star Wars Elite Series Figures are available at this time. We’ll have more as it becomes available. To check out the other Disney brands coming to Disney Stores, Click Here. Image attached is of the Legion Helmets.

For this sort of lighthearted exercise, the 'animated' style of helmet seems better suited than the more accurate 'cinematic' version. This could be fun.
