*Star Wars Jedi: Survivor* enthusiasts will be thrilled to see new figures in this collection. Nightsister Merrin receives a new figure, while Cal Kestis stars in a three-pack set with Turgle and Skoova Stev. Notably, Cal's figure includes multiple swap-out heads, featuring a handlebar mustache that Houle highlighted as a priority for this release.

"We just wanted to have fun with it," Houle told IGN. "This is one of my favorite packs from the panel. We started with the handlebar mustache and mullet, then added the clean-cut and short beard later. For us, the primary look is the handlebar, and it's just so much fun."

Merrin's inclusion was a no-brainer, given her pivotal role in the *Fallen Order/Survivor* saga. The challenge lay in capturing her unique Force abilities accurately.

"It's tough to have Cal without Merrin," Reiff explained. "We're glad we finally got to her, but doing that Force effect, the green blast, and detailing her new costume and face tattoos with inkjet printing was a challenge. There's some beautiful subtlety there. She's a beloved character, and fans are deeply invested in her story."

The lineup also includes refreshed figures of Han Solo and Chewbacca. Despite numerous iterations over the years, Houle believes there's always room for improvement.

"We haven't updated them in a while," Houle said. "They needed a refresh, so we gave them new tools with the latest articulation. Fans can now enjoy these classic characters with state-of-the-art technology. We've also made significant updates to the articulation, learning from our previous Wookiee figures with long hair."

"Despite Chewie's long hair, we used softer plastics to ensure seamless head movement," Houle continued. "We added articulation to Han too, but chose not to include a thigh break to keep his red bars intact. Instead, we added articulation to the top of his boot."

The Ronin, inspired by the *Star Wars: Visions* anime series, stands out as a striking figure in black-and-white, with a red katana lightsaber providing the only splash of color. As a Celebration-exclusive, meticulous attention to detail was paramount for Houle and Reiff.

"We stayed true to the design," Houle said. "We drew inspiration from Japanese culture, ensuring the box looked premium with magnets for opening, watercoloring, and hidden accessories. Everything from packaging to engineering received meticulous attention."

"We even used Japanese language for this exclusive packaging," Reiff added. "It's not something we usually do, but given our location in Japan, we wanted to fully embrace the culture with a special Japanese-only package."

Finally, Hasbro unveiled a detailed 1:1 scale Black Series Death Trooper helmet during the Celebration panel.

"This is a brand new tooled helmet for our Black Series Premium roleplay line," Reiff shared. "It looks like it's straight out of the movie with weathering and lighting details. You can control the chin lights and spectre sensor lights with a side button. We worked closely with Lucasfilm, using original files to ensure accuracy and added our own detailed interior, which the real ones never had."
