For decades, Star Wars action figures have generally measured 3 ¾ inches. But now, the just-announced Hasbro Star Wars Black line will increase the action figures aimed at adult collectors to 6 inches tall.
Announced in USA Today, the new line will consist of eight figures, tentatively priced at $19.99 apiece, that will premiere later this year. The first wave of four figures is currently scheduled for early-to-mid August, and will include Luke Skywalker in his X-Wing pilot suit, R2-D2, Darth Maul and a Sandtrooper.
