Hasbro's Star Wars Black Series unveiled new Super Battle Droid and C-3P0 figures from Attack of the Clones at SDCC 2023, set to be released in 2024. As the holiday season ramps up, the Star Wars brand is capitalizing on the festive period with a series of exciting reveals through its Gift The Galaxy celebration.
The Gift the Galaxy celebration has been a huge event for Star Wars fans searching for fun holiday gifts, featuring everything from socks and reading lights to golf bags and dog toys. Hasbro is also releasing two new Black Series figures for the first time as part of the celebration.
Star Wars: Black Series Super Battle Droid & C-3P0 will release in 2024
Dexerto has the exclusive revelation of Hasbro's Star Wars Black Series C-3P0 (B1 Battle Droid Body) and Super Battle Droid figures. These figures are based on their appearances in Star Wars – Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and it is the first time that either figure has been included in the line.
The duo is packaged together in a convenient two-pack, which is shipped in the standard Black Series windowed packaging with character art on both sides. The package also comes with movie accessories, including an E-5 Blaster Rifle for C-3P0 to hold or strap to his back.

The two-pack highlights a standout scene from Attack of the Clones, in which C-3P0’s head is temporarily attached to a Battle Droid while exploring a droid factory. Throughout the rest of the movie, C-3P0 remains in this unique state, especially during the intense battle in the Geonosis colosseum.
Both of these new designs are expected to be extremely popular among collectors. The Super Battle Droid, in particular, has been highly sought after as a Black Series figure, especially since its appearance in The Mandalorian.

Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of Star Wars, I am thrilled about Hasbro's unveiling of the Star Wars Black Series Super Battle Droid and C-3PO collectible figures. These figures are a must-have for any Star Wars enthusiast, and I can't wait to add them to my collection. The attention to detail in these figures is incredible, and they perfectly capture the iconic characters from Attack of the Clones. I especially love the C-3P0 figure with the B1 Battle Droid body, as it is a unique and memorable moment from the film.
The fact that these figures are being released as a two-pack is also a great move by Hasbro, as it allows fans to collect both characters in one convenient package. The movie accessories included with the figures are also a nice touch, and they add an extra level of authenticity to the collectibles. Overall, I am extremely excited about these new Star Wars Black Series figures and can't wait to get my hands on them when they are released in 2024.
