Star Wars has some of the most unique character designs of any property. Be it Wookies, clones, droids, or one of the many races from the universe, they all have striking designs and recognizable characteristics. Of course, this means that there's a nigh infinite source of inspiration when it comes to creating action figures. Hasbro's Star Wars The Black Series is the premier line of mid-range action figures, featuring numerous named and unnamed characters from the larger Star Wars universe, including non-canon content, video games, and the animated shows.

We've made sure to include characters from the movies, TV shows, and the animated shows as well. With the vast number of action figures in The Black Series, we thought this would help in narrowing down your choices. May the Force be with you!

Updated on July 2, 2024 by Vaspaan Dastoor: With the launch of the latest show in the Star Wars saga, The Acolyte, we thought it would be a great time to go back to this list and add a few more action figures for avid collectors and fans.

Maul made quite the impression when we first saw him in The Phantom Menace. H🐻e, along with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, showed us how cool a lightsaber dual could really be. This Star Wars The Black Series action figure comes along with his famous dual bladed lightsaber and all the ferocity we know he contains.

The Ahsoka live action show is undoubtedly one of the better Star Wars TV shows we've got in a while. Fans finally ave closure on what the character has been up to after the events of Rebels. However, it's the animated version of the character that made us care about her, and was arguably the most badass version too. Let's not forget, she helped capture the guy above during the siege of Mandalore.

Din Djarin went from bounty hunter to courier to everybody's favorite space dad to liberator of Mandalore. What's more? He did all that in the coolest suit of armour in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is the fulcrum on which the newer Star Wars content is based upon. Whether it's the character himself, or Dave Filoni's magic, He's surely one of the most popular Star Wars characters in the modern era.

Wookies are an underrated and underused race in Star Wars. Perhaps that's due to the fact that they don't speak the common tongue, but if Chewbacca can help take down the Empire and the First Order, and Gungi can almost become a Jedi with the coolest lightsaber hilt, then they deserve more screentime. Until then, this action figure of Chewy will serve as a tribute to them.

General Grievous is one of the highlights of the Star Wars prequel series, but mostly due to his response to Obi-Wan's "Hello there". However, we actually see how menacing and feared the character is in The Clone Wars animated show. It's also entertaining whenever he gets visibly frustrated with the incompetency of the droids. This guy has range.

The Bad Batch first debuted in The Clone Wars, and since then, Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, Crosshair, and later Echo, got their own show. However, this action figure of Hunter, is sure to stand out in your collection, especially if he's flanked by the rest of the squad.

Darth Malgus is perhaps one of the most powerful Sith in the non-canonical Star Wars universe. Tired of the Sith council's old ways, he decided to take matters into his own hands and bring down the Republic. In Star Wars: The Old Republic, he is responsible for the assault on the Jedi temple, considered one of the best opening scenes of a video game to this day.

Darth Revan became popular thanks to his role in the Knights of the old Republic games. It's unfortunate that there has been no word on the development of the remake, as fans would love to see him remade in current gen detail. However, you can still get this action figure as a tribute to him.

It's strange to think that the events Star Wars would have ended much earlier if Qui-Gon had just left Anakin alone. However, because of that we got to have one of the most iconic characters in movie history. This action figure depicts Vader from the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show, meaning it's one of the earliest versions of his iconic suit.

Much like the early depiction of Boba Fett - and more recently, Captain Phasma 🔜- Marrok is a bad guy in a cool suit of armour with barely any screen time. However, he does have a memorable duel with Ahsoka and uses his unique lightsaber well. The fact that he looks like a Dark Souls character is a bonus.

There are very few bounty hunters who can kidnap senators or infiltrate the Jedi headquarters like Cade Bane has. This action figure depicts his avatar from The Book of Boba Fett, and while he was severely nerfed in the show, there's no denying that he was a fan favourite in The Clone Wars.

The base level troops during the Clone War. This set reminds us of how far we've come in Star Wars canon. Going from being merely expendable pawns, the Clones and Droids have captured our hearts through humanity and humour respectively. This set reminds us of where it all started.

Young Luke Skywalker made a return in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. In the latter, he tried to get Grogu to embrace the Force and become a Jedi, but he chose to be a Mandalorian Foundling instead. However, the scene was reminiscent of Luke training with Yoda on Dagobahꦐ in The Empire Strikes Back.

We've seen Hera run rings around Empire starships in Star Wars: Rebels. However, in the Ahsoka live-action TV show, she has been promoted to general. This action figure is a great depiction of Mary Elizabeth Winstead's portrayal of the beloved character.

Droideka Destroyer Droids were the peak of the Separatist army's technology. Hust a handful of them could be quickly deployed to decimate the enemy from any direction. This figure is a great depiction of one of the best droid designs in the entire Star Wars universe.

Are Star Wars figures a good investment?

If you're wondering whether an old Star Wars figure you have is worth a lot of money, you'll have to get it graded. However, most of the action figures aren't worth more than their price, so don't go hoping to buy one and sell it later for a profit.
