Hasbro has made an exciting announcement, unveiling new figures that honor two iconic elements of the Star Wars franchise: Anakin Skywalker and the thrilling adventures of the Clone Wars. Over time, Anakin Skywalker has evolved into one of the most compelling characters within the Star Wars universe, particularly following the initial backlash against the prequel trilogy. The animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars played a crucial role in repositioning these films in the eyes of fans, emphasizing the valor of the clone troopers and their Jedi leaders during this pivotal era.
In celebration of this rich history, Hasbro is adding two remarkable sets to their esteemed collections: The Black Series and the Vintage Collection. The Black Series features a new set that includes a Phase I Clone Trooper and a Super Battle Droid, capturing the essence of the Clone Wars’ early conflicts. Additionally, the Vintage Collection will introduce a 3-pack dedicated to Anakin Skywalker, commemorating the character who ultimately transforms into Darth Vader. Read on for a closer look at both collections.

The Black Series set featuring the Phase I Clone Trooper and the Super Battle Droid vividly encapsulates the spirit of the Clone Wars era. The Clone Trooper boasts a removable helmet that reveals the face of Jango Fett, the genetic template for the Galactic Republic’s clone army. This addition, along with two blasters, illustrates the diverse arsenal of weaponry available to the troopers. Regarded for their resilience and loyalty, the clones often sacrificed themselves for their comrades, their Jedi commanders, and the Republic.
On the other hand, the Super Battle Droid, or SBD, represents an evolved model compared to the B-1 droids, despite being outmatched by clone forces. In this set, the droids serve as the target for the Clone Trooper’s armaments while also featuring blasters integrated into their design. Pre-orders for this set commence on December 18 at 1 PM ET for Premium members and 2 PM ET for all consumers.

This figure features a removable Force lightning FX, allowing fans to recreate the poignant scene where Vader chose to save his son, ultimately sacrificing his own life for the greater good. This comprehensive Anakin Skywalker set, alongside the Clone Wars set, is truly a dream come true for any Star Wars enthusiast.
