Most wanted Star Wars Black Series figures from each Mandalorian season 3 episode
17: High Magistrate Karga
Another season and another new costume for Carl Weathers! It seems that he is becoming more and more regal with each passing season, a trend that I'm curious to see whether or not it continues! His recent new digs would add to the trinity of Carl Weathers that we'd have on the shelf, and I would be all in on this figure if they include the mini robots carrying his cape behind him!
18: Alamite
Short lived in appearance, but very cool in appearance were the Alamites who inhabited the caves of Mandalore earlier in the season when Mando investigated the planet's surface and caverns. While they were nowhere to be seen later on when the Mandalorians returned, they were still an awesome looking race of creatures that would stand out in the Mandalorian Black Series display!
19: Penn Pershing
Returning for a much larger role this season, Dr. Penn Pershing got the headline an entire episode that honestly felt like something out of Andor's book. It was a slower, in depth character driven episode that really looked hard into the system of the New Republic while sewing seeds of what would come later in the season! It was an episode that I really enjoyed, and now having appeared in three separate seasons I'm surprised Black Series hasn't touched this character yet!
20: Kelleran Beq
One of the absolute highlights of the season for me was seeing an extended sequence of how Grogu escaped the Jedi temple during Order 66, and while any Jedi escorting him out would have been cool, it is a whole other level of awesome that the actor for Jar Jar got to return as an epic, duel lightsaber wielding Jedi that the internet went crazy for! I'm sure we'll get more flashbacks in the future to explain what happened to him and how Grogu and he became separated, but the once scene so far is more than enough to warrant him entry to the line!
21: Gorian Shard
One of the stand out alien designs from the season is assuredly Gorian Shard, making a brief appearance in the season's first episode before starring more prominently in the show's 21st chapter. He is a classic pirate motif layered on with the Star Wars aesthetic meaning that he gets to be an awesome looking alien covered in sea-weed like material! The character has gone down in a blaze of glory, but we've seen characters with less screen presence entered in the line at this point.
22: Super Battle Droids
This has to be at least my 20th time talking about Super Battle Droids, and at this point Black Series has to be knowingly passing on these iconic designs! Super Battle Droids are one of those easily recognizable designs in the Star Wars universe, an easy army builder to sell, and at this point have shown up in the Mandalorian TWICE. Mandalorian has been the Black Series' bread and butter since it first premiered, so hopefully that'll give these guys a leg up to finally get their overdue due.
23: Beskar Stormtroopers
It felt like the season really waited till these final episodes to bust out the real moneymaking action figure potential (Yet still decided to reveal the "Mandalorian Fleet Commander" who I barely remember). The Beskar armored Stormtroopers brought a very cool new design to the plethora of Stormtroopers out there in the universe, with these posing more of a threat to the heroes than ever before due to their shiny new armor that makes them much harder to kill. We finally have our answer of a horde villain to buy and pose against our Mandalorians we've been building up, and I hope it is a shorter wait for these guys than it was the Dark Troopers from season 2!
24: Beskar Moff Gideon
The big bad of the Mandalorian series returned, and this time rocking his own set of Mandalorian armoring! Mandalorian fever is overload in the Star Wars world right now, and I think it is only a matter of time until Grogu as well has his own miniature set of armor! Moff Gideon proved as formidable foe as ever, taking on both Mando and Bo Katan, and proving yet again that Black Series is making some odd choices when we're getting the "Mandalorian Fleet Commander" while Mandalorian armor Moff Gideon is out there!
