Fans of *Star Wars Jedi: Survivor* were thrilled to see new figures included in this impressive lineup. Nightsister Merrin is receiving a new figure, while the game's protagonist, Cal Kestis, is featured in a dynamic three-pack set with Turgle and Skoova Stev. A highlight of Cal's figure is the inclusion of multiple interchangeable heads, including one sporting a handlebar mustache, a design choice that Houle emphasized was a key focus for this release.
"We just wanted to have fun with it," Houle shared with IGN. "This is one of my favorite packs that we revealed at the panel. We started with the handlebar mustache and the mullet, then added the clean cut and short beard later. The primary look is almost the handlebar, and it's just so much fun."
Merrin's inclusion alongside Cal was a natural choice, given her significant role in the *Fallen Order/Survivor* saga. The challenge lay in accurately depicting her unique Force abilities, as Reiff explained: "It's tough to have Cal without Merrin. So we're glad we finally got to Merrin, but doing that Force effect, the green blast, all the great detail of that new costume and the face tattoos with the inkjet—it's just some beautiful subtlety going on there. She's a really cool character, and we know fans are invested in being able to build out that world."
This year's lineup also featured updated versions of two iconic characters, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Despite the numerous iterations of these figures over the years, Houle emphasized the need for continual improvement: "We haven't done them in a long time. They needed an update, so we gave them fully new tools, brand new with the latest articulation. Fans can really celebrate and enjoy these classic characters again with the latest technology and articulation that we have. We've made quite a few updates on top of the articulation just in general. We learned a lot from the Wookiees that we've done, especially with their long hair."
Houle further elaborated on the design choices: "Despite the long hair, having softer plastics allows Chewie to still pivot and move his head seamlessly, which was really important to us. We added articulation into Han too, but we didn't give him the thigh break because we didn't want to separate the red bars on his right side. So we added articulation to the top of the boot instead, keeping the design clean."

Perhaps the most striking figure in the lineup is The Ronin from the *Star Wars: Visions* anime anthology series. This Celebration-exclusive figure is presented in black and white, with only the red katana lightsaber providing a splash of color. Both Houle and Reiff stressed the importance of getting the small details right for this figure.
"I love that we kept to it," Houle said. "And then taking from learnings about Japanese culture, the way the box is built, how premium it looks, the magnets that let it open, how clean it looks, the watercoloring, the accessories hidden on the top of the box—everything. There was so much attention from packaging to design to engineering."
Reiff added, "Even the Japanese language for this exclusive packaging, we don't do that normally, but here, because we're in Japan, we wanted to really embrace all that and do a special package that was just in Japanese language too."
Lastly, Hasbro showcased a new addition to the 1:1 scale Black Series helmet line with 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. You poke a button on the side and you control the chin lights and the spectre sensor lights over on the side. It's a great addition to our line, and working with Lucasfilm in partnership to work from original files allowed us to really nail all the details of this helmet and then add our own stuff to the inside because the real ones never had an inside, but this one does, just like all our other helmets with the full detailed interior."
