A nice little surprise showed up today courtesy of Hasbro! They’ve sent out a promotional box for Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker featuring a selection of products from their various lines. Included are items from The Vintage Collection, The Black Series, Galaxy of Adventures, and Role Play. We’ve run the box for some pics since the box itself is pretty cool. Our Black Series gallery went up yesterday, so the SWBS6 figs in here are featured in that. And to cap it off we’ve included a couple play around shots of the Galaxy figures since they are a new format. I thought some of them looked fun to play around with, good desk mates that don’t require a lot of attention. Oh and good for the kids too I suppose :). Read on to check it all out. These items are out in the wild now at most major retailers – online and locally! Thanks to Hasbro for sending it through!

Wave 1 is up, aka the stuff from Force Friday:
Star Wars Black Series Wave 22 Gallery – Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian, Fallen Order
Nabbed the Mandalorian and Second Sister on Force Friday at retail 'cause no one thought to loot Barnes & Noble, thankfully. Awesome figures, especially the Mandalorian (they even included butterfly joints). Can't wait for that show.
Mandalorian also showcases that we seriously need a ROTJ Boba Fett with this improved articulation. The Empire Boba has aged well, but not amazingly well. It could use an update.
Also grabbed a FO Stromtrooper just so I could swap it out with the trooper that came with that Amazon-exclusive Heavy Gunner set. I was tired of not being able to get him into the shooting positions I wanted and at the very least, the new FO Stromtrooper finally fixed the shitty elbows, so...
Man, my Mandalorian is such a floppy mess. Almost every single joint on him is loose, not sure it's just mine or what but D Amazing's figure also looked pretty bad in terms of looseness.
On another note, this has seriously been the easiest wave of Black Series that I have found in the wild in a LONG time. Not sure whether to view that as a generalized fatigue of Star Wars, or an just how weak of a lineup this wave actually is, or improvements in distribution, which Black Series has suffered from a while now. The only figure I have yet to see is the FO Jet Trooper, which was a Walmart exclusive, so no surprises there.

I did notice it moved a bit smoother at each articulation point, less pressure to get things done. Which I actually like, so it's less of a chore to pose these guys. But I guess it's more of a mistake than purposeful now. Maybe as they came out of the mold over and over it got slowly less tight.
My pal's Mando didn't have this issue either.

Promotional box came through today, shot some quick pics:
Unboxing The Rise of Skywalker Hasbro Promotional Box
That's pretty cool, I thought it was the size of a shoe box until I saw all that was inside there!
Nice try Disney, but you still won't get me to watch tRoS,especially after your announcement to partner up with China for new content...
That Galaxy of Adventures Darth Vader is so cute, and well articulated too!
I love the Galaxy of Adventures movie figs better than the Black Series.
Amazing photos Tony
!! Love the shots!
So does this mean that Vader is back in RotS? Maybe they are going to introduce time travel to SW in this movie
Just to be clear - the Vader was NOT inside the TROS promo box. I grabbed him locally before the box arrived. Just included shots of him in here because I had some random shots done already and nowhere to put them. Didn't plan on doing full galleries for the Galaxy figs.
