Top 5 most likely Star Wars the Black Series figures vol 4
For a while it felt infuriating hoping for certain characters in Hasbro's Black Series line of Star Wars figures but lately it doesn't seem to be the case these days. We're consistently getting a lot of fan demanded characters no matter whether they're from Clone Wars, the Prequels, or the original trilogy! This large gap between movies is really letting the line breath, expand as it needs to, and it for sure feels like the golden age of this series! So what I consider to be the most likely figures to get in the line do actually seem like some of the most likely figures, and from my last list we quickly got the Endor version of Luke, lots of Clone Wars characters with more seemingly on the same, as well as the Incinerator Trooper from Mandalorian! So what do I think is next? Well here are my top 5 thoughts!

5. Lobot
At this point, Lobot is the character I'd say most obviously missing from the Empire Strikes Back display. This past year has been a blessing for fans of that movie and so much has been realized in 6 inch plastic form, but a good bit of the Bespin sequences are still left untouched and that goes for Lobot himself. Lando's right hand guy and while his design isn't anything outlandish, I love the simple appliance of the metal ring around his head, and the fun look to his outfit.
We're how many years out from Last Jedi and we still don't have a Crait rendition of Luke? I find that absolutely crazy, but now with virtually every Luke from the original trilogy now in the line already, the only way to really keep Luke releases coming would be to branch into his remaining looks from the sequel trilogy! Crait Luke is one that I know is on a lot of fans wishlists, and I would love his Exile look as well! Not to mention Rise of Skywalker gave us a ghost version of Luke which would be easy reuse of the white robbed version we did get from the movie.
2019 was a definite turning point for the prequel trilogy in the toyline, we got so many major characters all at once and since them we've continued to get highly fan requested characters from that era of Star Wars so I feel pretty confident in saying that one of the best army builders from that trilogy is likely coming down the pipeline soon! The Battle droid has already gotten several figures already, so the bulky, brutish design of the awesome Super Battle Droids would greatly diversify the ranks of the Separatist display! Also, they got a couple of flashback spotlights in the Mandalorian season 1 so they've been a part of recent media as well.
Speaking of the Mandalorian, it has taken a little bit but the flooding of figures based on this property is coming in hot. New figures based on the series seem to be revealed on a periodic basis, and the one I think is most likely to be coming next is the main villain of the series: Moff Gideon. His performance at the end of season 1 was so much fun and so just pure villain goodness, not to mention he wields the freaking dark saber! The Vintage Collection is getting an outstanding looking rendition of the character, and I definitely think that Black Series is about to get one as well.
The Mandalorian isn't the only show to be getting lots of figures lately, as the Clone Wars is getting the attention it always deserved as well! The figures we've gotten have looked incredible, with Cad Bane being the latest absolute win for the line! As Hasbro is playing catch up with the series, I think one character that we can all expect to be a lock for coming soon is one of the original villains that lasted throughout the life of the entire series: Asajj Ventress. She started out simply as Dooku's apprentice but became so much more throughout the series, growing in complexity and depth, and for sure deserving her spot in the line as one of the best characters the show ever offered.
