Star Wars to Release a George Lucas Stormtrooper Action Figure
The Star Wars creator is getting the action figure treatment with the release of Hasbro’s new toy: “George Lucas (in Stormtrooper Disguise).”
The fourth-wall-breaking 6-inch figure, a part of the Black Series toy line, is the Bearded One in classic original trilogy Stormtropper armor, along with a removable helmet and blaster
The 2022 release is timed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Lucas’ production company, Lucasfilm.
“As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I have both the honor and privilege to bring characters from the franchise to life in product form every single day,” said Vickie Stratford, senior director of product design at Hasbro. “When the opportunity came to design the George Lucas figure, we were especially excited for this project. This figure is just one of the many ways we can honor his legacy for years to come, and we hope fans cherish it as much as we did.”
The action figure isn’t the first time the 77-year-old Lucas has been immortalized in Star Wars merch. In 2006, he appeared as a 3.75-inch Stormtrooper for Hasbro’s Saga Collection toy line.
pre-orders open on Wednesday, September 29, at 1 p.m. ET on Amazon.
