The 2019 Star Wars The Black Series Cara Dune (#101) captures the former Rebel shock trooper as she appears in The Mandalorian Season 1. A veteran of the Galactic Civil War turned mercenary, Cara becomes a key ally to Din Djarin during the Sorgan village defense and later the Nevarro standoff.
Released as part of Wave 28, this figure arrived immediately after the milestone #100 Luke (Yavin Ceremony), marking the beginning of the Red Line’s final stretch. The sculpt features Cara’s distinctive teal armor plates, muscular build, and detailed tattoo work, including the Rebel Alliance cheek marking and Alderaanian tear tattoo.
The included heavy blaster carbine, sidearm pistol, and knife complete her combat-ready loadout.
