Star Wars Fans Unite: Your Dream Action Figures Could Become Reality!
Are you ready to shape the future of Star Wars collecting? A groundbreaking, fan-driven campaign is rallying the Black Series community to collectively decide which figures Hasbro should create next. But here’s where it gets controversial: will Hasbro truly listen, or is this just another wish list in the wind? Let’s dive in.
When Hasbro’s Black Series debuted in 2013, it revolutionized Star Wars collecting. Before this, fans primarily focused on the 3.75-inch scale. The Black Series introduced a 6-inch scale aimed at adult collectors, promising definitive representations of fan-favorite characters. But what does definitive really mean? Over the past decade, Hasbro has continually refined tooling, articulation, and character likenesses, leading to reissues and updates. While this innovation has elevated the line to new heights, it also raises questions: how many versions of the same character do we really need? And this is the part most people miss: the line’s evolution has created a community divided between purists and those embracing change.
Every year, collectors and content creators share their most wanted lists—typically a top 10 of characters they’re dying to see in 6-inch form. These lists have become a cherished tradition, a celebration of fandom. But this year, something unprecedented is happening: a definitive, fan-chosen list. Tommy from the popular YouTube channel Blitz Transmissions (alongside other Black Series creators) has launched Black Series Most Wanted, a campaign designed to turn our collective dreams into reality. Inspired by events like Last Figure Standing and SWTVC March Madness from the 3.75-inch Vintage Collection, this initiative invites fans to submit their top 12 most-desired characters. Yes, 12! Because let’s be honest, we always sneak in a few honorable mentions.
Starting December 1, 2025, fans can submit their personal Top 12 wish-list picks. Anything goes—main characters, long-overdue remakes, droids, aliens, and even background characters. This isn’t about what’s retail-friendly; it’s about passion. What figures do you absolutely need on your shelf? To participate, follow the Black Series Most Wanted Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/blackseriesmostwanted/). On December 1, a Google Form will go live for submissions. After a three- to four-week period, the results will be compiled into a definitive list of the top 12 most wanted figures. The final list will likely be revealed in a community livestream—a celebration of fandom and a chance to see who made the cut. Use the hashtag #blackseriesmostwanted to share your thoughts and, most importantly, spread the word! The more responses, the more seriously Hasbro will take this campaign.
In the meantime, the Instagram page will tease daily silhouettes of characters not yet in the toy line. This not only keeps the community engaged but also sparks excitement and reminds us of overlooked favorites (looking at you, Ben Quadrinaro!). On launch day, Tommy will host a livestream featuring community regulars like Stoned Mandalorian, Hybrid Toy Reviews, and Sarlacc Digest, among others.
Projects like this remind us why collecting is special. It’s not just about plastic figures—it’s about the memories and stories that made us fall in love with Star Wars. We come from diverse backgrounds, yet we unite under the same galaxy far, far away. This event celebrates what fandom can be: supportive, inclusive, and downright fun.
But here’s the kicker: Hasbro is watching. According to Hybrid Toy Reviews, the list will be presented to Hasbro for consideration. While there’s no guarantee, the past 18 months suggest Hasbro does listen to fan sentiment. Characters like Savage Opress, Super Battle Droid, Droideka, and Kyle Katarn—all regulars on most wanted lists—have been released since their appearances. But the question remains: will Hasbro prioritize fan wishes over market trends? That’s the controversy we’re inviting you to discuss.
