The product push for Star Wars: Rise of the Skywalker has been fully unveiled and several figures from the movie are either out or on their way to collectors! This includes a few of the characters from my previous top 5 most wanted episode 9 figure list! We're getting new versions of some of the main characters like Rey and Kylo, the Sith trooper, Jet trooper, and Jannah have also all been revealed! I'm anticipating a few more characters from the film to get figures during the film's release in cinemas, and with that thought I've put together a second list as a follow up to the first. So with episode 9 releasing in just a couple months, here is part 2 of the top 5 Star Wars Black Series figures I want most from episode 9.

5. Sith Rey
Rey can commonly be found pegwarming shelves all across the country, but I think that a figure of this version of her could actually do well at retail! It is a wholly new look for the character, completely different from the arguably nearly identical outfits she's had before, and the foldable double bladed red lightsaber alone makes it a great action figure. Whether the movie portrays this as a vision, a dream, or a real occurrence, it deserves its place as a Star Wars action figure.

4. Lando
Crossing over from the first list, surprisingly we have no confirmation yet of an old Lando figure in the line. Looking back though, old Han took a couple waves to get to us, old Leia took well over year, and old Luke didn't come out until Last Jedi released two years later! So I'm sure Lando is just delayed as well and we'll see him sometime after the movie is out, though I'm still not quite sure about him wearing the exact same combo of clothes as he did in Solo.

3. Zorii Bliss
Out of the two new female characters in the film, we're getting Jannah and I hope soon we get a reveal for this character as well! She has a very interesting and sleek design to her, with a wicked cool helmet that screams a desire for an action figure portrait! The red of her costume would also contrast nicely with a lot of the more toned down colors of recent Star Wars characters. 3.75 inch collectors have already got an awesome looking figure of this character for this collection, so fingers crossed Black Series does the same for the 6 inchers.

2. Knights of Ren
This group is finally making their debut in the final film of the trilogy and I hope we get even just one of them to celebrate their arrival. Already they look like a neat band of warriors with distinct looks from each other and cool weapons! Looking to the 3.75 inch side of collecting, a Knight of Ren figure has already been revealed so hopefully they're on the docket for Black Series as well.

1. Sith Jet Trooper
I've mentioned before about how I'm crazy about troopers and think that each one is necessary for the toyline of each movie. Well, Shortly after my first list was published there were leaks/reveals about a Sith Jet Trooper as a variation on the First Order Jet Trooper, this one being cast in red armor that looks just as stunning as the standard Sith Troopers do. The line so far has been doing good at covering all the new troopers (Sith Trooper, Jet Trooper, Elite Snowtrooper) so this one must be on the way! Just like the Knight of Ren and Zorii, this figure is available to the 3.75 inch community, and hopefully Hasbro has plans for it in 6 inch as well.
