Star Wars: The Black Series
Star Wars: The Black Series (TBS) is an ongoing Star Wars toy line produced by the Hasbro company. The toy line includes action figures, vehicles, Force FX lightsabers, and collectable items.
The action figures are based on characters from the movies, shows, books, comics, and video games from both the Expanded Universe and canon.
Announcement
Star Wars TBS was first announced by Hasbro in January 2013 in an article in USA Today written by Brian Truitt.[1] Although this was not Hasbro's first foray into collectible 6" action figures (with the sculpt and articulation of the line inspired by the company's own Marvel Legends series) it is the most recent. The line of toys was released in response to the hype around the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, in order to capitalize on the renewed interest in the brand.

The Legacy Pack includes a display stand for 12 figures with a reversible cardboard backdrop. It is an homage to the "Early Bird Kit" pre-order for Star Wars figures by Kenner in 1977. Production was not going to meet the holiday season, so the pre-order promotion offered a certificate that could be sent in to claim 4 of the 12 initial figures of the toy line when they became available: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, Artoo-Detoo (R2-D2), and Chewbacca. The kit included a cardboard backdrop, sticker sheet, club membership card, and the certificate.[6] Figures were shipped beginning in February 1978.

Force FX lightsabers
The movie quality lightsaber toys have gone through many changes over the years. They were originally released as FX-Lighsabers by the company Master Replicas, however, the product line was taken over by Hasbro in 2008 where the name changed to Signature FX-Lighstaber. The name was changed a final time when they were released under The Black Series to Force FX Lightsabers. They are high quality reproductions that light up and create sound effects when powered-on, powered-off, and when they impact objects. These sounds replicate the movie sound effects, to create a high quality display toy.[8]
