View 31 ImagesStar Wars Jedi: Survivor enthusiasts were thrilled to see new figures introduced in this fresh batch of Star Wars toys. Nightsister Merrin gets a new figure, and series protagonist Cal Kestis is featured in a three-pack set alongside Turgle and Skoova Stev. Notably, Cal comes with multiple interchangeable heads, including one with a handlebar mustache. According to Houle, this particular look was a top priority for the release.

"Honestly, we just wanted to have fun with it," Houle shared with IGN. "This is one of my favorite packs that we revealed in the panel. We started with the handlebar mustache and the mullet, then added the clean cut and the short beard later. For us, the primary look is almost the handlebar, and it's just so much fun."

Including Merrin was a no-brainer, given her significance to the broader Fallen Order/Survivor narrative. The challenge lay in accurately capturing her unique Force abilities.

"It's tough to have Cal without Merrin," Reiff explained. "So we're glad we finally got to Merrin, but doing that Force effect, the green blast, and all the great detail of her new costume and the face tattoos with inkjet printing—there's some beautiful subtlety there. She's a really cool character, and we know fans are invested in her. It's rewarding to be able to expand on that world."

This year's lineup also features two fan-favorites who are no strangers to Hasbro's production lines - Han Solo and Chewbacca. Despite numerous iterations over the years, Houle believes there's still room for enhancements.

"I mean, we haven't done them in a long time," Houle noted. "They needed an update, so we gave them fully new tools. They're brand new with the latest articulation, allowing fans to celebrate and enjoy these classic characters with the latest technology. We've made quite a few updates on top of the articulation. We learned a lot from the Wookiees with their long hair."

Houle elaborated, "And so, despite the long hair, using softer plastics allows Chewie to pivot and move his head seamlessly, which was really important to us. We added articulation to Han as well, but we didn't include a thigh break because we wanted to keep the red bars on his right thigh clean. So we added articulation to the top of the boot instead."

True to the series, The Ronin is a black-and-white figure, with his red katana lightsaber providing the only splash of color. As a Celebration-exclusive release, both Houle and Reiff emphasized the importance of getting the small details right.

"I love that we kept to it," Houle said. "And then, drawing from our learnings about Japanese culture, the way the box is built, its premium look, the magnets that let it open, the clean aesthetics, the watercoloring, and the hidden accessories on top of the box—everything was meticulously planned, from packaging to design to engineering."

Reiff added, "And even the Japanese language for this exclusive packaging, which we don't normally do, but because we're here in Japan, we wanted to fully embrace that and create a special package with only Japanese language text."

Lastly, Hasbro also delighted fans of the 1:1 scale Black Series helmet line by unveiling a stunningly detailed Death Trooper helmet during their Celebration panel.

"[It's] a great fully new tooled helmet for the Black Series Premium roleplay line," Reiff stated. "It looks like it's straight out of the movie with the weathering, the lighting detail, and you can control the chin lights and the spectre sensor lights with a button on the side. It's a fantastic addition to our line. Working in partnership with Lucasfilm, we used original files to nail all the details of this helmet, and we added our own touches to the interior because the real ones never had one. All our other helmets feature a fully detailed interior."
