Fans of *Star Wars Jedi: Survivor* will be thrilled with the new figures included in this latest wave of Star Wars toys. Nightsister Merrin receives a new figure, while protagonist Cal Kestis is part of a three-pack set with Turgle and Skoova Stev. The highlight of this set is Cal's multiple interchangeable heads, featuring a fan-favorite handlebar mustache look. "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 actually started with the handlebar mustache and the mullet and then added in the clean cut. Then the short beard later. So for us, the primary look is almost the handlebar and it's just so much fun."

Merrin's inclusion was a no-brainer, given her integral role in the *Fallen Order/Survivor* saga. The challenge lay in accurately depicting 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 coming there, all the great detail of that new costume and the face tattoos with the inkjet. Just some beautiful subtlety going on there. She's a really cool character I know we know fans are invested in and really being able to build out that world."

This year's lineup also includes two fan-favorite characters, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Despite numerous iterations of these figures over the years, Houle insists there's always room for enhancement. "I mean, we haven't done them in a long time," Houle stated. "They needed an update, so we gave them fully new tools so they're brand new with the latest articulation so that fans can really celebrate and enjoy... classic characters out again in the latest technology and articulation that we have. And they'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 where they have really long hair."

Houle further elaborated on the design choices, "And so, despite the long hair, having softer plastics so he can still pivot and move his head in a seamless way, that was really important to us. And 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 of the outside of the thigh. So we thought it was important to keep that clean. So we added articulation to the top of the boot instead."

The most visually striking figure in this lineup is The Ronin from the *Star Wars: Visions* anime anthology series. This Celebration-exclusive figure remains faithful to its source material with a black-and-white design, accented only by the red katana lightsaber. Both Houle and Reiff emphasized the importance of getting the details right for this special release. "I love that we kept to it," Houle remarked. "And then taking from learnings from what we know about Japanese culture and stuff, the way the box is built, how premium it looks, the magnets that let it open, how clean it looks, the watercoloring, the accessories that's hidden on the top of the box so you don't just see it. Everything. There was so much attention from packaging to design to engineering."

Reiff added, "And even the Japanese language for this exclusive packaging, we don't do that normally, but for here, because we're here in Japan, we wanted to really embrace all that and do a special package that was just Japanese language for that too."

For fans of the 1:1 scale Black Series helmet line, Hasbro revealed 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 commented. "It looks like it's straight out of the movie with the weathering, the lighting detail, and you poke a button on the side and you control the chin lights and the spectre sensor lights over on the side. So, just a great addition to our line. And working with Lucasfilm in partnership to work from original files so that we could 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. All our other helmets, it has the full detailed interior."
