Star Wars Fan’s Choice Poll! Choose the Next Black Series Figure from Hasbro!
The Hasbro Star Wars Fan Figure Vote is back! Hasbro is once again holding a contest to determine which fan favorite character will get a Black Series release. In the last couple of years we’ve seen Darth Revan, Sabine Wren, and most recently Jaina Solo get the Black Series treatment due to this contest. Who will it be this year?
Last year’s winner, Jain Solo, was among our reader submissions for the fan favorite figure, but there some other big vote tallies for characters who didn’t end up making the cut. Perhaps one of these will take the title of “fan favorite” this year. Maybe now is the time for some old Clone Wars favorites like Cad Bane or Assaj Ventress? Last year saw a good showing from OT characters like Dengar, so perhaps he’ll reach the top this year. Or, maybe it’s time for some new blood and we’ll see support for some characters out of the new canon. The variety in the support from different subsets of fans is what makes these contests so entertaining.
In an unexpected change this year, the winner of the fan vote will receive a 3.75″ figure as opposed to the 6″ figures which had been made for past contests. This is likely to impact some of the vote tallies for those characters who just missed last year due to existing availability in the 3.75″ line or just to different priorities out of the smaller scale figures. It will be interesting to see how the vote turns out.
We’ll be collecting votes in the comments through Wednesday, April 19th. So let us know which character you’d like to see and check out the official details from Hasbro below.
Some important details from Hasbro:
- Fans can only submit 1 vote per email address or social handle through Wednesday, 4/19
- Similar to last year, the final vote will be held on StarWars.com
- Any characters from the Star Wars Rebels or Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series will be sculpted in the realistic style of The Black Series line
So cast your vote in the comments below. Every IP has only 1 chance to vote. You can check all 3.75″ Black Series figures already released HERE. So don’t waste your vote for something that is already produced.
Update! As revealed at the Hasbro Panel down at SWCO, the fan favorite choice this year will be made under the newly revived Vintage Series. You can check out the details here.
Jaxxon
I voted Jaxxon last year on the 6′ range. Dude’s gotta have a figure sometime.
Jerec. From Dark Forces 2
Wuher or GTFO!!!!
The Emperor Duh! There is far too little Palpatine merchandise is the world.
Already been made.

Stinks they are not doing this for six inch anymore. I loved seeing man favorite characters like Jaina and Revan getting highly detailed figures.
Not sure how widely they were released. Never saw them in the shops in the UK. I’m glad the 3.75” range is getting some attention. Hopefully not just walmart exclusives.
No; the Emperor has not been done before. There’s a link at the end of the article, to check previous figures; use it
I deleted my comment immediately when I saw the article was referring to 3 inch figures and not the six inch line but you already knew that since you had to reply to another comment I made more than eighteen hours ago. So I guess you just felt like being an ahole for really no reason today. Hope it gave you that boast you needed lol.
You have got to be kidding me. You butted in on my choice; incorrectly inferring it had been made before, after I had used the link to check that it hadn’t. Then I took the time to respond & inform you about the link to check your choice, and you reply with baseless accusations & name calling?
Congratulations! Star Wars is all about fun & community; especially when it comes to the toy lines; yet out of the hundreds of comments, you are the only person that has sunk to name calling & inaccurate nastiness.
I had no clue you had erased your comment. Disqus sends an email link, but it doesn’t take you to your comment. I simply scrolled down until I saw your name; which was right above my comment. I didn’t think twice about it and assumed Disqus simply stacked comments by how they are received, so on top of one another, rather than after. I don’t use Disqus often or even comment much… Frankly because of petty banter like this. Who needs it; I did nor said nothing derogatory toward you & yet I’m an a-hole somehow?
I suggest that you sit on a mirror to find the a-hole here. And look for bruising, because you’re clearly butt-hurt & taking it out on someone simply minding their own business & participating; rather than the culprit; you’re own false sense of indignation.
Dude go back and reread your comment and tell me who is but hurt lol.
I would love a Ventress either her orginal Clone Wars costume or The Dark Disciple version.
I’d like the Dark Disciple version, personally. We haven’t seen that costume in 3 dimensions yet.
I like her bounty hunter costume. I assume since they are 3.75 they could add two head scultps (bald and with hair) plus her additional redlghstabers and yellow lightsabers.
Yeah, that would be good.
MACE WINDU!
mon mothma
adult ahsoka
Satine Kryze

Nice – Thanks!
Starkiller already has a 3.75″ Black Series figure.
Obi-wan kenobi revenge of the sith version
Already been made.
Garven Dreis. Dude has only ever been released as a bad figure with the X-wing, and as a rare as heck figure in the ‘scramble on yavin’ pack. I’d be happy just to have them repackage that last figure as black series.
General Grievous!
or Dr. Evazan and Ponda Baba
Kyle Katarn
Darth Nihilus?
yes
Kit Fisto
Ben Skywalker (Legends)
Grand Admiral Thrawn (LEGENDS).

We already have a Black Series Emperor but I agree he needs a re-do, just like Leia did.
No, there is no Palpatine in this line. Use the link provided above.
Wait. Changing my answer! Quinlan Vos and Ventress 2-pack from Dark Disciple!

Revan already won this poll, thus cannot be nominated again.

Kanan and Ezra realistic
We have Kanan already and he turned out great, but Ezra (esp. in the new season 4 getup) would be a great choice. He’s not one of the vintage figures though which I think is what Hasbro is looking for here.
Since this is for the vintage collection, my vote is actually for Momaw Nadon, aka Hammerhead. He was my favorite original figure as a kid. Ithorians are both mysterious and plentiful in the galaxy, and I always loved their affection for planets and reverence of their planet Ithor. These dudes are deep AF. 🙂
The EU fans usually all unite to get an iconic EU character to win the fan poll. This year someone decided it would be Ben Skywalker (Luke’s son in the EU).
I voted for Celeste Morne. I don’t know who in the fan community decides the EU pick though (in the words of the peasants from Monty Python, “I didn’t vote for him!”). Revan and Jaina were good picks, but although I liked Ben I didn’t think he was a good choice for the fan poll.
A poll was posted in the Alliance to Preserve the Expanded Universe page. Ben took 80% of the vote.
Just scrolled down and saw all of the votes for Ben Skywalker…it has me kind of perplexed. He’s not in the original lineup (or even canon…his name is Ben Solo, guys) so it wouldn’t work for a vintage collection figure. I’m an avid EU fan but I think we need to be realistic with our votes. My two extra cents.
I wrote this whole thing explaining why Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead) was an excellent choice for the Black Series but then saw this is limited to 3.75″, which I don’t collect…so, I’ll omit my vote on this one and hand it over to collectors who are still interested in that scale. That said, we need a 6″ Momaw, yo.
Ben Skywalker!
Asajj Ventress

seconding this, please PLEASE give us an HK-47 figure!
Huyang!

Clone Commando Gregor (Clone Wars)
Doctor Aphra
Why are there so many votes for Ben Skywalker?
Because a fan choice is the only way he will ever get made. Like Jaina, his existence is impossible in Discanon.
TFA Luke won last years’s poll here, it was removed from the running because some commenters said it was already in the works. Almost a year later and I still don’t have my TFA Luke!
I say all votes for Luke from last year should count for this year since we were robed!
I 2nd that
it is still coming, Albeit running very…VERY late…trust me…i want one as well.

Can we get a decent looking Mara Jade (unlike the last one with the giant 80’s hair)?
Shado Vao from the Dark Horse Legacy series. A blue twi’lek with a blue lightsaber just looks cool, so Aayla Secura would be good too.
Nice pick!
