Top 5 most wanted Star Wars the Black Series Jedi: Fallen Order figures
Jedi: Fallen Order is by far one of the best Star Wars videogames that have come out in recent years, and while the Black Series line of figures from Hasbro hasn't dived that far into the cast of the excellent game they have kept it on their conscious as we're still getting new figures. Initially, we got Cal and the Second sister who were quickly followed up by a Purge trooper. A solid line up for the game, and we've gotten more since then including another Cal, another Purge trooper, as well as several army builders like the scout troopers, flametroopers, and Nightbrother warriors! A nice set up for the videogame universe is coming along, but I'm hoping that the line gives us more original sculpts for the actual characters of the story we're missing, and here I'll be counting down my top 5 most wanted Jedi: Fallen Order Black Series figures!

The Purge troopers were for sure one of the coolest trooper types from newer media when the game rolled around. Their pitch black armor coupled with the rad helmet and awesome weapon catalogue made for some fearsome foes. We've gotten the standard blaster version and the iconic electrostaff wielder, with that leaving us with the batons and hammer variants as the main troopers to round out the variants. To go along with the Nightbrother warrior as well, the Nightbrother archer would be an easy and welcome addition!
Starting the list off with some of the most prominent characters in the game to be missing figures, the crew of the Mantis was a great line up of characters who we got to know over the course of the game. Cere with her mysterious past and stand out role in the climax, Greez with his wit, charisma, and compelling alien design, and then the inclusion of Merrin by the end of the game was a big surprise; however, a welcome one. I'd love to put together the Mantis crew one day in the Black Series, as Cal is pretty lonely on the shelf right now.
Getting into a bit of a grouped slot for this one, the entire Kashyyyk sequences of the game were some of my favorite moments as we helped fight alongside a rebel insurgency to free the planet from Empire encampment. With the Wookie sculpt existing in the line already, and being used recently for Zaalbar, a standard wookie warrior could be easily achieved! Not to mention with just a few new sculpted pieces we could finally get Tarfful in the line as well! A harder figure to introduce, needing an entirely new sculpt, would be Saw Gerrera who was a fantastic inclusion!
An immensely short lived design in the game series came during one of the final visions experienced by Cal before the game's conclusion. He sees himself as an agent of the Imperial Empire, clad in blacks and grays, wielding a red lightsaber! We've gotten both Cal's poncho look, and standard look in the game, leaving his Imperial uniform as all that's left aside from the customized repaints the game allowed.
The segments throughout the game in which you flash back to training with your Jedi master, Jaro Tapal, were very fun and the character himself was a great addition to the line up of Jedi characters from the franchise. Even better was that he hailed from Zeb's species, introduced in the Rebels cartoon, and wielded an awesome double bladed lightsaber! He would be another that would require an entirely new sculpt, but it'd so be worth it.
Doubling up for the final slot in my list, both are villains from the game who played more secondary roles but they were surely memorable. The mysterious wanderer on Dathomir was largely suspect ever since we first met him, and proved to be a great battle later on. The Ninth Sister herself was a figure from the trailers I was so excited to see in the game, and her confident bravado as you go up against her in the game itself was such a thrill! The Inquisitors deserve a larger footprint in the Black Series line, and the Ninth Sister as a deluxe release would be awesome.
