Star Wars Black Series Credit Collection

The Star Wars Black Series Credit Collection is a sub-line of novelty repaints released between 2020 and 2022, covering the primary cast of The Mandalorian seasons one and two in a distinctive artistic style. Every figure in the Credit Collection is a repaint of a previously released Black Series figure in a colourful palette inspired by the illustrated end-credit sequences from The Mandalorian TV series. Each figure includes a collectible plastic credit coin — early releases include an Imperial Credit, later releases a New Republic Credit. All figures feature the iconic Kenner logo on the cardback alongside the Credit Collection branding.

The sub-line is not a Target-exclusive programme. Despite some initial characterisations of the collection that way, the Credit Collection spans seven different retailers: Target, Amazon, GameStop, Fan Channel (ShopDisney, HasbroPulse, Entertainment Earth), Best Buy, Walmart, and Hasbro Pulse. Getting a complete set requires deliberate multi-retailer sourcing across all three years of the programme.

The Credit Collection Is an Artistic Interpretation

This is the framing that matters for every figure in the sub-line. The Credit Collection is not a screen-accurate upgrade programme. It’s not a photo-real improvement line. It’s a novelty display sub-line where each character gets the illustrated end-credit artwork colour palette applied to an existing source body. Some figures deliver genuinely interesting display pieces; others are essentially the same figure in a different finish. Buying these as collector art pieces and display variants is the right frame. Buying them expecting engineering upgrades or improved accuracy is the wrong one.

The Three Waves

The Credit Collection ran across three distinct distribution phases.

Wave 1 (October–November 2020) was the launch — five figures inspired by The Mandalorian Season 1 end-credit artwork, each with an Imperial Credit coin. The five figures split across three retailers simultaneously: Target, Amazon, and Best Buy. This was the first public signal that the Credit Collection wasn’t going to be a single-retailer programme.

Wave 2 (2021) expanded to additional characters from Season 2, with Target continuing as the primary anchor. Amazon added a second Mandalorian repaint. Coins shifted to Galactic/Imperial Credit framing.

Wave 3 (2022) was the most spread-out distribution phase — seven additional figures across six separate retailer channels (Amazon, Fan Channel, Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart, Hasbro Pulse), with coins now being New Republic Credits. This is the phase that makes completing the Credit Collection structurally challenging.

Imperial Credit vs New Republic Credit

The coin accessory changed between waves, and it’s a useful dating signal. Wave 1 figures (2020) include Imperial Credits. The 2022 releases include New Republic Credits. The 2021 releases vary — some continue Imperial framing, others shift to Galactic Credit terminology. The in-universe note on most cards is identical: after the fall of the Galactic Empire, Imperial Credits became less common with many planets refusing them on principle.

Retailer Distribution Map

Completing the Credit Collection requires sourcing from seven separate retailer channels. Here’s the breakdown:

Target — The Child/Grogu (CC-02), Cara Dune (CC-04), Boba Fett (CC-08), Fennec Shand (CC-09), Ahsoka Tano (CC-07). Five figures across 2020–2022.

Amazon — Din Djarin Wave 1 (CC-01), Death Trooper (CC-DT2), Din Djarin Beskar (CC-DD2), Kuiil (CC-06), Din Djarin Tatooine (CC-DD3). Five figures across 2020–2022. Amazon is the only retailer with figures in all three years of the programme.

GameStop — IG-11 (CC-05), Armorer (CC-ARM), Tusken Raider (CC-TR2). Three figures.

Fan Channel (ShopDisney, HasbroPulse, specialty retailers) — Greef Karga (CC-03), Bo-Katan (CC-BOK). Two figures.

Best Buy — Paz Vizsla (CC-PV), Moff Gideon (CC-MG). Two figures.

Walmart — Boba Fett Walmart (CC-BF2). One figure.

Hasbro Pulse — Dark Trooper (CC-10). One figure.

Cara Dune — The Only Black Series Version

Cara Dune (CC-04) is the Credit Collection’s most consequential figure. She’s the only Black Series Cara Dune that exists — the planned mainline release was cancelled in early 2021 following the real-world departure of the character’s actress from Lucasfilm. The Credit Collection version, already at retail, was not recalled. No replacement figure has been produced. For collectors who want a complete early-Nevarro display, this is the only option, and secondary market pricing reflects both the Target-exclusive limited production and the absence of any subsequent release.

The Three Din Djarin Credit Collection Figures

Din Djarin appears three times in the Credit Collection — more than any other character. Each uses a different source body and a different retailer channel:

Wave 1 (Amazon, 2020) uses the 2019 source body, four accessories, Imperial Credit. Beskar Armour (Amazon, 2021) adds the jet-pack, five accessories, Beskar source body. Tatooine (Amazon, 2022) brings a pulse rifle and New Republic Credit. All three went through Amazon — it’s the complete Amazon CC Mandalorian arc.

Credit Collection vs Mandalorian Sub-Line

For most characters, the Mandalorian sub-line produces a separate mainline release with updated engineering and a screen-accurate finish. The Credit Collection versions of Ahsoka, Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, Bo-Katan, and the various Mandalorian repaints all have standard releases elsewhere that most collectors will prefer for screen-accurate display. The Credit Collection versions are complementary collector pieces and artistic variants, not replacements.

The exceptions where the Credit Collection is the primary or only release: Cara Dune (no mainline equivalent) and the Paz Vizsla Heavy Infantry configuration (the CC version’s cable-and-cannon accessory system is distinctive even against other Paz Vizsla releases).

The QC Pattern Worth Knowing

Three Credit Collection figures have documented loose ankle joint QC issues: Greef Karga (CC-03), Armorer (CC-ARM), and Dark Trooper (CC-10). All three are manageable rather than display-preventing, but worth knowing before acquisition — especially the Dark Trooper at $38.99 where the loose ankles affect a heavy, above-baseline-scale figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Credit Collection all Target exclusives? No — this is a common misconception. The Credit Collection spans seven retailers: Target, Amazon, GameStop, Fan Channel, Best Buy, Walmart, and Hasbro Pulse.

Is there a mainline Cara Dune figure? No. Cara Dune (CC-04) is the only Black Series Cara Dune. The planned mainline release was cancelled in 2021.

What’s the difference between Imperial Credits and New Republic Credits? The coin accessory type changed over the programme’s run. Wave 1 (2020) figures include Imperial Credits. The 2022 wave mostly includes New Republic Credits. It’s a minor collector detail worth tracking for completeness.

Should I get Credit Collection or Mandalorian sub-line figures? For screen-accurate display, the Mandalorian sub-line is generally the better choice for most characters. The Credit Collection is worth collecting for the artistic end-credit palette, the Kenner cardback, Cara Dune (no alternative exists), and the Paz Vizsla cable-system engineering. The Dark Trooper Credit Collection is also the best-accessorised Black Series Dark Trooper despite the loose ankle issue.

How many Credit Collection figures are there? 19 confirmed figures across the 2020–2022 programme.
