It’s the second week of Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: Gift the Galaxy campaign for the 2024 holiday season, and today the popular toy company Hasbro has revealed two exciting new items: The Vintage Collection IG-12 action figure from The Mandalorian and the Force FX Elite Baylan Skoll lightsaber from Star Wars: Ahsoka.

Star Wars: The Black Series Force FX Elite Baylan Skoll Lightsaber ($249.99) – “After the fall of the Jedi and the Empire, Baylan Skoll remains a shrewd fighter in search of power who believes another war is inevitable. Reimagine iconic scenes from the STAR WARS saga — and create your own — with BLACK SERIES Lightsaber and helmet roleplay items. This collectible BLACK SERIES Force FX Lightsaber is detailed to look like the Baylan Skoll Lightsaber from the STAR WARS: AHSOKA live-action series on Disney+. Combining advanced LEDs and entertainment-inspired sound effects, the Force FX Elite Lightsaber is the most realistic STAR WARS Lightsaber yet. Use the switch and button on the hilt to activate sound effects, progressive ignition, battle clash effect, blaster deflect, wall-cutting effect, duel effect, and battle sequence mode. This saber features a blade color unique to Baylan Skoll’s signature weapon. Requires 3x 1.5v AA alkaline batteries (not included). Proudly display this electronic Lightsaber on the included stand, with or without the removable blade. STAR WARS: THE BLACK SERIES roleplay items make impressive additions to any STAR WARS adult costume collection.” Available for pre-order beginning tomorrow, Wednesday November 20th at 1:00 PM Eastern Time via Hasbro Pulse.

Star Wars: The Vintage Collection IG-12, Grogu & Anzellan ($24.99) – “Clever Anzellan droidsmiths have refurbished IG-11’s salvaged parts into a pilotable frame for Grogu, who can operate the droid body like a vehicle. Stripped to base motor functions, the droid has been renamed IG-12. Inspired by the STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN live-action series on Disney+, this 3.75-inch scale action figure set comes with IG-12’s blaster accessory and makes a great addition to any fan’s collection. Pose either Grogu or the Anzellan out or inside IG-12’s torso to recreate scenes from the show. Inspired by the original line, these collectibles feature premium detail and design across product and packaging, as well as collector-grade deco that fans have come to know and love. Calling back to the original 1970s and 1980s vintage toys, the included figure features Kenner branding and package design with a unique VC number for collectability (VC #358).” Available for pre-order beginning tomorrow, Wednesday November 20th at 1:00 PM Eastern Time via Hasbro Pulse.

Both of these items will become available in the spring of 2025. Be sure to visit the official Hasbro Pulse website for additional information.
