But one thing is always certain with the galaxy far, far away, mystery or otherwise: a new\u00a0Star Wars movie means new\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/star-wars-black-series-taun-we-watto-geonosian-price-release-date-2000709197\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Star Wars action figures<\/a>, and io9 has an exclusive look at what to expect from Hasbro\u2019s return to the Mandoverse.<\/p>\n<p>In just a couple of months, Hasbro will kick off the fully armed and operational merchandising campaign for\u00a0The Mandalorian and Grogu with a bumper set of figures in its six-inch Black Series line. Of course, a movie called\u00a0The Mandalorian and Grogu needs a new <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/star-wars-mandalorian-and-grogu-image-at-at-2000706951\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mandalorian and Grogu<\/a> for you to play with, and that\u2019s exactly what you get in this deluxe set (retailing for $35) that includes a plethora of gear for Din Djarin\u2014and, of course, a new articulated Grogu sculpt designed to be nestled, climbing on his back.<\/p>\n<p> Hasbro\u00a0Star Wars The Black Series\u00a0The Mandalorian and Grogu   <\/p>\n<p>As well as Grogu, the set comes with Din\u2019s backpack, his trusty blaster pistol, a new rifle, a small knife to slot into his boot (and an extra hand to hold it), and, most intriguingly, a new weapon in the form of a short sword. It\u2019s no Darksaber, but it\u2019ll get the job done either way.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll need some bad guys for Din to use all that gear on, so of course the Imperial Remnant is happy to provide for the bulk of the rest of the initial Mandalorian and Grogu figures. A Remnant Stormtrooper and a Remnant AT-AT Driver will provide updated takes on the iconic foot soldiers of the Empire, with dirtied-up paint decos (they\u2019re the Remnant, after all, and the Empire can no longer afford armor polish in a post-Endor world). While the AT-AT Driver comes with a blaster pistol, the trooper comes with an E-11 rifle as well as a removable pauldron and ammo pouch that can be mixed and matched to break up your army-building forces.<\/p>\n<p> Hasbro\u00a0Star Wars The Black Series Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper and Imperial Remnant AT-AT Driver   <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ll also be joined by a brand-new trooper design for\u00a0The Mandalorian and Grogu: the Remnant AT-RT driver. Yes, it seems like the Empire has found a few old Clone War-era walkers around to use in the movie, and they\u2019ll be driven by these unique troopers who blend elements of Snow Trooper and Shore Trooper designs in a hodgepodge of armor pieces. And if that weren\u2019t enough troopers, Target will also be home to its own exclusive version of the standard Remnant Stormtrooper, who is even worse for wear than the rest of their comrades, with chunks of their arm and leg plating swapped with brown replacement parts.<\/p>\n<p> Hasbro\u00a0Star Wars The Black Series Imperial Remnant AT-RT Driver and Imperial Remnant Stormtrooper (Target Exclusive)   <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a bad time for the Imperial Remnant, so it\u2019ll be even worse when they face off with the last figure of the wave: Sigourney Weaver\u2019s New Republic Colonel Ward. Clad in an X-Wing pilot suit (as we got to see in images shown back at Celebration Japan last year), Ward comes with a removable helmet and\u2026 sadly nothing else, so she\u2019s going to have to rely on the fact that she\u2019s Sigourney Weaver in an X-Wing pilot suit to dazzle her action figure foes into submission.<\/p>\n<p> Hasbro\u00a0Star Wars The Black Series Colonel Ward   <\/p>\n<p>While they\u2019re all expected to release sometime in spring ahead of The Mandalorian and Grogu hitting theaters on May 22, you\u2019ll be able to get your hands on special versions of each of the main figures in this initial wave a couple months ahead of the film. Both exclusively in-store at Walmart and Target in the U.S. and at Hasbro fan channel retailers around the world, there\u2019ll be \u201cFirst Edition\u201d variants of the deluxe Mandalorian and Grogu, the standard Remnant Stormtrooper, the Remnant AT-AT Driver, the Remnant AT-RT driver, and Colonel Ward in white packaging, which will release on March 22 in limited quantities. The packaging is the only difference for the variants, so you won\u2019t be missing out on anything else\u2026 other than the chance to own action figures for a brand-new Star Wars movie a little earlier than some, that is!<\/p>\n<p>The first wave of\u00a0The Mandalorian and Grogu Black Series figures will go up for pre-order starting tomorrow, February 13, at 1 p.m. ET at both Hasbro\u2019s own Pulse website and at other participating retailers (Target\u2019s exclusive Remnant Stormtrooper will also go live for pre-orders at that time).<\/p>\n<p>Want more io9 news?
