Fans of *Star Wars Jedi: Survivor* will be thrilled to see new figures included in this impressive lineup. Nightsister Merrin is receiving a new figure, while the series protagonist, Cal Kestis, is featured in a three-pack set alongside Turgle and Skoova Stev. Notably, Cal comes with multiple interchangeable heads, including one sporting a handlebar mustache, which was a significant focus for this release, according to Houle.
"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 started with the handlebar mustache and the mullet, then added the clean-cut and short beard later. For us, the primary look is almost the handlebar, and it's just so much fun."
As for Merrin, her inclusion was a natural choice given her significance in the *Fallen Order/Survivor* saga. The challenge lay in accurately representing 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, all the great detail of that new costume and the face tattoos with the inkjet—there's some beautiful subtlety there. She's a really cool character, and fans are deeply invested in her, allowing us to build out that world."
This year's lineup also features updates to two well-known characters, Han Solo and Chewbacca. Despite the numerous iterations over the years, Houle believes there is still room for improvement.
"We haven't done them in a long time," Houle noted. "They needed an update, so we gave them fully new tools with the latest articulation so fans can really celebrate and enjoy these classic characters with the latest technology. We've made quite a few updates, especially learning from the Wookiees with their long hair."
Houle continued, "Despite the long hair, using softer plastics allows Chewbacca to pivot and move his head seamlessly, which was crucial for us. We added articulation to Han too, but we didn't include a thigh break to keep the red bars on his right thigh clean. Instead, we added articulation to the top of the boot."

The standout figure from this lineup is The Ronin, inspired by the *Star Wars: Visions* anime anthology series. True to the series, The Ronin is a black-and-white figure with the only color being his red katana lightsaber. As a Celebration-exclusive release, meticulous attention was paid to the details by both Houle and Reiff.
"I love that we stayed true to the original," Houle said. "We drew from our knowledge of Japanese culture, designing the box to look premium with magnets for opening, clean aesthetics, watercoloring, and hidden accessories on top of the box. Every aspect from packaging to design and engineering received careful attention."
Reiff added, "We even used Japanese language for this exclusive packaging, which we don't typically do. But being here in Japan, we wanted to fully embrace and create a special package that was entirely in Japanese."
Lastly, Hasbro introduced a new addition to their 1:1 scale Black Series helmet line with a stunningly detailed Death Trooper helmet during their Celebration panel.
"It's a fully new tooled helmet for the Black Series Premium roleplay line," Reiff mentioned. "It looks like it's straight out of the movie with the weathering and lighting detail. You can control the chin lights and the spectre sensor lights with a button on the side. It's a fantastic addition to our line, and working with Lucasfilm, we used original files to capture all the details of this helmet, adding our own touches to the interior, which the real ones never had."
