By Mulder, 03 april 2026

To celebrate Star Wars Day, better known to fans around the world as May the 4th, Hasbro has revealed a brand-new wave of special-edition Star Wars: The Black Series action figures that bring a humorous twist to some of the galaxy’s most iconic Imperial and Separatist soldiers. Designed in the premium 6-inch scale format that collectors have come to expect from the line, these exclusive figures combine detailed sculpting, multiple points of articulation, themed accessories, and soft goods T-shirts inspired by in-universe jokes and fan culture. Each figure also includes a blaster accessory and a unique “target practice” poster featuring a famous Star Wars character. Available exclusively through select retailers in Spring 2026, this collection offers a lighthearted way for fans to celebrate the fun side of the Force while expanding their Black Series displays.

The first release in the lineup is the Star Wars: The Black Series B1 Battle Droid May the 4th Be With You figure. Recommended for ages 4 and up and priced at approximately $27.99, this exclusive will be available in Spring 2026 exclusively at Target. Inspired by the familiar Separatist battle droids seen throughout the Star Wars saga, the figure gives the classic mechanical soldier a humorous makeover while retaining the premium quality associated with The Black Series. Standing at 6 inches tall, the figure features premium design and decoration, multiple articulation points, and a soft goods “Roger Roger Robotics” T-shirt that adds a playful touch to the otherwise serious droid. Fans can display the figure with its included blaster accessory and a “target practice” poster featuring the legendary Jedi Anakin Skywalker. The packaging continues the celebration theme with the classic black-and-yellow color scheme and a special “5.04” collector number, making it a distinctive addition for collectors looking to commemorate Star Wars Day.

Next comes the Star Wars: The Black Series Scout Trooper May the 4th Be With You figure, also recommended for ages 4 and up and carrying an approximate retail price of $27.99. This exclusive release will be available in Spring 2026 through Fan Channel retailers. The figure reimagines the agile Imperial scout trooper with a tongue-in-cheek design that embraces the lighter side of the franchise while maintaining the realism and detail that define The Black Series. The 6-inch figure features premium deco, multiple points of articulation, and a soft goods “Endor Biker Club” T-shirt inspired by the trooper’s memorable adventures on the forest moon of Endor. Included in the package are a blaster accessory and a special “target practice” poster featuring Endor’s heroic Ewok defender Wicket W. Warrick. Like the other figures in the collection, the packaging uses the signature black-and-yellow presentation and includes the commemorative “5.04” collector designation.

Rounding out the trio is the Star Wars: The Black Series Stormtrooper May the 4th Be With You figure. Intended for ages 4 and up and priced at approximately $27.99, this version will arrive in Spring 2026 exclusively at Walmart. One of the most recognizable soldiers in science fiction history receives a playful reinterpretation while preserving the premium aesthetics and articulation that collectors expect from The Black Series range. The figure comes outfitted with a soft goods “Pew! Pew! Pew! Squad Goals” T-shirt, blending Imperial military imagery with a humorous fan-focused design. Alongside the figure, collectors will find a blaster accessory and a “target practice” poster featuring fan-favorite smuggler and Rebel hero Han Solo. As with the rest of the collection, the figure showcases the detailed sculpting, decoration, and display-worthy presentation that have made The Black Series a staple among Star Wars collectors for more than a decade.

With these three exclusive releases, Hasbro continues to find new ways to celebrate the enduring popularity of Star Wars while offering collectors something a little different from traditional screen-accurate figures. By combining premium action figure design with humorous T-shirt graphics, character-themed accessories, and collectible packaging, the “May the 4th Be With You” assortment embraces the fun spirit of Star Wars Day. Collectors can look forward to tracking down these retailer-exclusive figures in Spring 2026, while anticipation also continues to build for the upcoming Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu film and the related First Edition Star Wars: The Black Series figures designed to add even more collectability to fans’ shelves.
