Chewbacca — Star Wars The Black Series #ANH 11
The Black Series Chewbacca in ANH configuration — Phase 4 ANH Collection #11, 2025. Han Solo's Wookiee co-pilot with bowcaster. 15 joints. The current Phase 4 ANH Chewbacca.
Overview
Phase 4 ANH Collection #11 is Chewbacca — Chewbacca, Wookiee, co-pilot of the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo’s partner, and the franchise’s most consistently produced non-humanoid principal character. The 2025 ANH Collection version brings the current Phase 4 production standards to the character whose fur, scale, and specific proportions have been produced at every Black Series era since the line’s beginning.
Bowcaster. 15 joints. $24.99. 2025. The twelfth Chewbacca release in the Black Series catalogue.
The 15-Joint Scheme
The 15-joint count for Chewbacca reflects the engineering realities of the Wookiee body plan at this scale — the dense fur texture, the specific proportions, and the limited range of natural Wookiee movement all contribute to a lower joint count than humanoid figures. The butterfly shoulders are included, enabling the two-handed bowcaster raised-aim poses appropriate to the character’s primary combat posture.
Chewbacca and the ANH Principal Quartet
Chewbacca at #ANH 11 completes the Millennium Falcon crew in the ANH Collection’s consecutive principal slots: Leia (#08), Luke (#09), Han (#10), Chewbacca (#11). All four 2025 releases at consistent production quality. For the ANH principal cast display — the four heroes who defeat the Death Star — these four figures at Phase 4 2025 standards are the current recommendation.
Twelve Chewbacca Releases
Twelve Black Series Chewbacca releases span the line’s full history, from the original Orange Wave through the ANH Collection. The 2025 Phase 4 version represents the current articulation and sculpt standards for the character — the bowcaster at current production quality, the fur texture at current sculpting standards.

Above-retail secondary market prices. Verify bowcaster. No production variants documented.
Verdict
The current Phase 4 ANH Chewbacca. Buy for the Millennium Falcon crew display alongside Han (#10) or ANH Collection completion.
The Wookiee Engineering Challenge
Producing Chewbacca at 6-inch scale requires solving the same set of engineering challenges at every production era: the fur texture that reads as hair rather than sculpted plastic, the specific proportions of a being that is significantly taller and broader than human scale, the face sculpt that captures Peter Mayhew’s specific performance even without a human facial structure to reference.
The 2025 version’s 15 joints represent the current resolution of those challenges — fewer joints than humanoid figures because the Wookiee anatomy doesn’t permit the same range of movement, but including butterfly shoulders for the bowcaster raised-aim pose that is Chewbacca’s primary combat configuration.
Han and Chewie as Display Pair
Han Solo (#ANH 10) and Chewbacca (#ANH 11) in consecutive numbers is the ANH Collection’s most natural display pairing — the co-pilots of the Millennium Falcon, the partnership that predates the trilogy and outlasts it. Both 2025 releases at consistent production quality. The two figures together communicate partnership before the display even begins.
Twelve Chewbacca Releases
Twelve Chewbacca releases across the Black Series’ history reflect the character’s sustained collector demand — the Wookiee who appears in every trilogy needs representation in every production era. The 2025 ANH version is the current ceiling for the design, the bowcaster at the current sculpt standard.
Chewbacca at #ANH 11 is the Phase 4 ANH Collection’s most directly comparable figure to earlier releases. Twelve versions of the same character across the line’s history mean collectors can directly compare fur texture, proportions, and articulation across eras. The 2025 version represents the current standard.
No production variants documented. Standard retail. Verify bowcaster. The current Phase 4 Chewbacca at the 2025 ANH Collection production standard.
The complete Millennium Falcon crew across the ANH Collection: Han (#10) and Chewbacca (#11) in consecutive numbers, at consistent 2025 quality. Add Leia (#08) and Luke (#09) and the Death Star rescue team is complete.
The 2025 Chewbacca is also the figure that closes the Millennium Falcon crew in the ANH Collection. Han at #10 and Chewie at #11 in consecutive numbers is intentional — the two were packaged and displayed together in every early Star Wars marketing material, and the ANH Collection honours that partnership through adjacency.
The Wookiee display also benefits from scale accuracy — Chewbacca is significantly taller than his human companions in the films, and a Chewbacca figure at 6-inch scale next to standard human-scale figures communicates the correct relative height. The species-specific proportions are part of what makes the Millennium Falcon crew display work visually.
Chewbacca at 15 joints is the minimum viable articulation for the bowcaster raised-aim pose that defines his combat role. The figure achieves it. The 2025 fur texture is the current production standard for the character.
Chewbacca completes the Falcon crew at #ANH 11. Han at #10, Chewie at #11: consecutive numbers, the partnership honoured by adjacency.
The Phase 4 ANH Chewbacca at 15 joints is one of the line’s most physically limited figures in joint count, and also one of its most visually complete — the fur texture, the scale, the bowcaster, and the specific proportions of a Wookiee at 6-inch scale are the figure’s display argument rather than its articulation range.
The Falcon crew is complete at #ANH 10-11. Han and Chewie, consecutive numbers, Phase 4 quality. Display them together.
Chewbacca didn’t get a medal at Yavin. He didn’t need one. The bowcaster display is enough.
The ANH Collection Chewbacca closes the Falcon crew at the current production standard. Han and Chewie, #10 and #11, the partnership in plastic.
Fifteen joints is the minimum. The bowcaster aim is the display. Twelve releases and this is the current best.
The Wookiee who didn’t get a medal is the franchise’s most enduring running joke and the franchise’s most consistent display presence. Chewbacca appears in every trilogy, carries the bowcaster in every configuration, and remains the figure that makes any ANH display feel complete. The 2025 Phase 4 version is the current production standard for a character whose visual hasn’t changed in forty-eight years.
