USA Today got the exclusive on Hasbro’s newest product line of Star Wars action figures. The Black Series promises more detail and articulation in the 6-inch scale. Priced at $19.99 a piece, the first wave will hit in mid-August featuring Pilot Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Darth Maul, and an Imperial Sandtrooper. Another wave of four figures will also release later this year. It sounds like Black Series will focus mainly on characters from the original trilogy with a few of the key players from the prequels thrown into the mix.
