Star Wars Black Series Bounty Hunters
Every Star Wars Black Series Bounty Hunter figure — the complete guide to the faction covering Boba Fett, Bossk, IG-88, Cad Bane, Fennec Shand, and more. Key figures, display recommendations, and collecting advice.
Bounty hunters are the galaxy’s independent operators — contractors who take jobs for whoever can pay, with no allegiance to the Republic, the Empire, or anyone else. They’re defined by profession rather than politics. That’s what makes them such compelling figures in Star Wars and such a satisfying collecting category in the Black Series: every character in this faction is a distinct individual with their own visual identity, backstory, and moral code — or absence of one.
The classic image is the ESB lineup assembled on Vader’s Star Destroyer. Six very different beings united by a single job. That scene is the emotional centre of the faction, and building it is still one of the most satisfying goals in the Black Series. But the hunter roster extends well beyond those six, reaching across the Clone Wars, the Mandalorian era, and the comics into a wide and genuinely interesting cast.
The ESB Six
Boba Fett, Bossk, IG-88, Dengar, 4-LOM, and Zuckuss — the Empire Strikes Back lineup is the definitive bounty hunter display and the natural starting point for anyone collecting this faction. Each character is a one-off design with no duplicates or variants in the lineup, which makes assembly a cross-era sourcing challenge rather than a simple shopping list.
Boba Fett is the most-covered character in the entire faction by a significant margin. He’s had more releases than any other bounty hunter, spanning the original Orange Wave through multiple 40th Anniversary variants, the Galaxy Collection, and The Book of Boba Fett series. The ESB 40th Anniversary version is generally the go-to for the classic lineup display. Bossk and IG-88 are both Blue Wave figures from the early years of the line — they haven’t received Galaxy Collection updates, but their alien and droid designs hold up well enough for display alongside modern figures.
Dengar came in the Red Line era and is another figure that predates Photo Real paint. 4-LOM and Zuckuss arrived together as a 40th Anniversary Amazon exclusive — a practical packaging decision that means you get both in one purchase, but sourcing them at fair prices requires patience. Zuckuss is the harder of the two to find loose.
Boba Fett — The Dominant Character
No single character defines this faction more completely than Boba Fett. He’s been released in nearly every configuration imaginable: ESB, ROTJ, Prototype Armor, Carbonite, Droids animated, Kenner retro, The Mandalorian era, The Book of Boba Fett throne room, and more. If you collect Boba Fett specifically, the Black Series has covered him as thoroughly as any character in the line.
For the ESB display the 40th Anniversary ESB figure is the recommended version — strong sculpt, accurate colours, right accessories. For the post-Sarlacc Boba Fett, the Book of Boba Fett Throne Room Deluxe is the standout release, giving him the worn Mandalorian armour and the gaffi stick from his Tatooine years.
Cad Bane and the Clone Wars Hunters
Cad Bane is the Clone Wars era’s defining bounty hunter — a ruthless Duros gunfighter who operated throughout the war as the galaxy’s most feared contractor. He has three Black Series releases: the Clone Wars animated version, the Bracca Amazon exclusive, and the Book of Boba Fett live-action figure. That last one was a significant moment — his live-action appearance in BOBF gave him his most cinematic treatment yet, and the figure matched it well. It’s the recommended version for most displays.
Aurra Sing finally received a standalone release in the Galaxy Collection era after years as one of the most conspicuous gaps in the Clone Wars hunter roster. Asajj Ventress has two Black Series figures — the earlier Clone Wars version placing her in the Sith faction, and the newer Bounty Hunter version reflecting her later career after leaving Count Dooku’s service. The Bounty Hunter release captures the version of Ventress who’d shed her Sith allegiances and was operating independently — a more interesting character point, and a better figure.
The Mandalorian Era Hunters
The Mandalorian series and The Book of Boba Fett significantly expanded the modern bounty hunter roster. Fennec Shand received two releases — a Credit Collection Target exclusive and a Book of Boba Fett mainline — and both are worth having for different display contexts. Her BOBF figure captures the character at the height of her role as Boba’s second-in-command. Krrsantan was a long-overdue arrival: the Wookiee gladiator-turned-hunter had been a fan favourite in the Doctor Aphra comics for years before making his live-action debut, and the Black Series figure delivered a genuinely imposing presence.
IG-11 has two releases from the early Mandalorian Credit Collection era. Greef Karga has accumulated multiple versions across the Mandalorian line — as guild master, credit collection variant, and magistrate — reflecting his evolving role across the series.
Jango Fett and the Prequel Connection
Jango Fett bridges the prequel era and the bounty hunter faction. As Boba’s genetic template and the original wearer of Mandalorian armour in the Star Wars visual language, he’s a natural companion piece to the ESB figures. He’s had two Black Series releases — the older Red Line figure and the more recent AOTC Galaxy Collection version, which is the one to prioritise. The newer figure is a significant improvement and captures the Attack of the Clones Kamino/Geonosis look accurately.
Greedo, despite being one of the Orange Wave launch figures, remains the faction’s representative from the Mos Eisley cantina. He’s never been updated with Photo Real treatment, but his Rodian design has aged better than most early figures in the line.
Display Strategy
The bounty hunter faction doesn’t have army builders — every figure is a named individual. That actually makes display planning more straightforward than trooper-heavy factions: you’re building a roster of distinct characters rather than deciding how many copies of the same trooper you need.
The ESB six is the natural centrepiece. Arranged as they appeared on the Star Destroyer — or loosely grouped by era — they create an immediately recognisable display. The challenge is mixing tooling generations: Bossk, IG-88, and Dengar are older sculpts standing next to the more detailed 40th Anniversary Boba Fett. It reads fine from a display distance, and the character diversity compensates for the tooling gap.
For a larger display, the Clone Wars and Mandalorian hunters extend the lineup naturally. Cad Bane (BOBF), Fennec Shand, Krrsantan, and Aurra Sing all work well as flanking figures. Jango Fett can anchor a prequel-era section. The faction has enough visual variety — droid hunters, alien hunters, armoured hunters, unarmoured hunters — that a full display has genuine visual interest rather than looking like a uniform army.
