TRUTHFUL NEWS:

THE STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES FIGURE WE REALLY WANT!

Today is Hasbro’s “Fan First Friday: Star Wars”, the first Fan First Friday of 2021 and we are getting a ton of cool new announcements of figures we will desperately want and need! (Anything from The Mandalorian, anyone?)

Yesterday, they already announced a few cool figures for Lucasfilm’s 50th anniversary, a Obi Wan Kenobi with a vinyl cape (just like old times!), a green Greedo (just like old times!), and a Jawa with a fabric robe (What? No “Jawa with vinyl cape” this time? Aaaw man!), complete with vintage looking packaging.

The rumours/leaks said we would be getting some Episode I: The Phantom Menace figures with the old-school red blisters like we had when the movie came out (My father was on TV to show them off, as he was one of the first person in Europe to get them, back then. True story! Humble brag!). And it turns out it was real!

But there is one figure that we all would love to see revisited, that was missing from the event, wasn’t there? A Black Series re-issue of the barrel-chested, hunky, muscular Luke Skywalker from Kenner’s Power of the Force line!! Imagine what could have been…

Do you remember him? Of course, you remember him! How can anybody forget THIS:

Look at his chest! SHINY!

Look at his chest! SHINY!

The entire first wave of Kenner’s Power of the Force needs a Black Series re-issue, really.

Hunk Skywalker, Chewba-jacked, Han Swolo and Robust Leia

The figures were said to have a more “heroic” style, with larger muscles than the actual actors, but now, we do know why: I mean, look at his nephew! Oiling their muscular chest is clearly a family thing!

Well, we can always hope for another Fan First Friday: Star Wars for those to be announced!
