Scarily accurate Star Wars Andor action figures revealed
Hyper-detailed Star Wars Andor action figures are on the way, along with an awesome moment from The Mandalorian
Spookily accurate Star Wars Andor action figures are on the way, and one of the coolest moments from The Mandalorian has also been immortalized as a Star Wars The Vintage Collection set (it's probably the most badass addition to the range in a while).
Shown off during Hasbro Pulse Con, both of these were unveiled alongside a wealth of new toys from across the saga. And because we mean a lot, we've collected the most attention-grabbing ones here for you to feast your eyes on. As well as the Mandalorian set and those Star Wars Andor action figures, that includes a revised Return of the Jedi range for the film's 40th anniversary (with a pretty epic Han Solo and a smol but fierce Wicket).
Seeing as some of these are available to pre-order right now, we've also listed where you can get your hands on them ahead of launch. Although they won't arrive in time to serve as Star Wars gifts for yourself or someone else this Holiday (most arrive in Spring 2023), it's a good idea to purchase any you want now to avoid them from selling out. That's already starting to happen with Pulse Con's Indiana Jones figures, so consider yourself warned.
Andor
Most of the Andor action figures fall under the Star Wars The Black Series banner. That means they're hyper-detailed figures - almost eerily so, as if they're the actors in miniature - with a range of accessories and multiple articulation points that stand at six inches tall. The range includes miniature versions of Cassian Andor, Stellan Skarsgård's Luthen Rael, Rebel leader Mon Mothma, Bix Caleen, and B2EMO.
A couple of Andor figures from The Vintage Collection were shown off as well, though. Besides Cassian, we're also getting a Vel Sartha figure wielding what is basically a space AK-47.
You can pre-order all of the above from Zavvi or Hasbro Pulse, and prices range from $19.99 to around $25. They're set to come out between May 1 and August 1, 2023.
Andor action figures | From $19.99 at Zavvi
Available May 1 / August 1 2023 - You can now pre-order your hands on super-detailed action figures of Andor, Mon Mothma, Luthen Rael, Bix Caleen, Vel Sartha, and a double-pack with B2EMO. However, it's worth nothing that there are two different kinds here: six-inch Black Series figures for $24.99 each (due in August), or smaller three-inch Vintage Collection toys at $19.99 (releasing next May). There are fewer Vintage Collection figures, but that will probably change in time.
UK price: From £19.99 at Zavvi
The Rescue
This multi-pack features Mando's season two battle with the Dark Troopers and Moff Gideon on his mission to rescue Grogu. Although Bo Katan and co aren't included, it does come complete with the ability to display him spearing droids through the head, firing rockets at them, and/or setting them on fire. It is, in a word, glorious.
