Top 5 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series The Bad Batch figures
The final, ultimate conclusion season of Clone Wars was not only incredible but also kickstarted the next big animated series to take place in a galaxy far far away! The Bad Batch is premiering later this year and will follow the same epic, unique group of Clone soldiers that Clone Wars introduced us to! This band of genetically mutated clones were a ton of fun to watch, and it'll be great to see even more of them, especially in a post-Revenge of the Sith universe! Despite the show yet to be airing, Hasbro's Black Series line has already given us a few members of the team such as Crosshair, Wrecker, Hunter, as well as an Elite Clone Trooper which is set to appear in the show as well! Such focus given to the show already makes me excited that Hasbro is actively supporting it, and based on what we know about the show as well as the trailer we've been given, these are my top 5 most wanted Black Series figures based on The Bad Batch!

Despite my understanding that droids had been phased out following the fall of the Separatists, we still see plenty of battle oriented droids in the trailer and they would be really cool to get in the Black Series. The line has barely touched upon the battle droid faction, with several repaints of the regular B1 Battle being done at this point. The droids of Star Wars have always been one of the most iconic parts, and I hope Bad Batch's design offerings are accepted into the figure line.
I don't know if he is a captain, or some other title, but in the trailer we see him leading a squad of the Elite Clones that we're already getting a figure of. That essentially begs for this awesome looking clone to be made as well, and his unique set of armor would for sure set him apart from the other clone soldiers we're gotten at this point in the line.
This character has had a long and popular run in the Star Wars universe, and his return in Clone Wars season 7 was met by lots of excitement by fans. He'll get a lot more to do in his upcoming role as part of the Bad Batch, and it would be awesome to finally get a figure of this iconic character in the Black Series line. Hasbro has been giving a lot of focus to the animated series lately, so Echo would be a welcome addition and fit nicely with a lot of the current product we're getting.
This character was a total surprise when she appeared in the trailer for the show, but after her awesome return in season 2 of the Mandalorian I'm totally open to getting more of her in this show. I love the orange and black design for her costume, and sniper characters in general are pretty cool so hopefully we'll get some kind of showdown between herself and Crosshair during the show. Hasbro has stated that her figure is in the pipeline to be made; however, plans can also shift, things can get cancelled, and I won't feel fully confident about us for sure getting the figure until we see pictures of the action figures.
The other three flagship members of the Bad Batch have already been realized in figure form, leaving Tech as the odd duck out waiting for his turn at a figure. Just like Fennec Shand, Tech was listed as being in the works for the Black Series line; however, plans shift so often that he might not end up being made until late 2022. The action figures world can have crazy shifts, and I just hope Tech comes much sooner rather than later to join all his teammates who have already made it out the gates.
