Star Wars Black Series Mandalorian Faction

The Mandalorians are not a species — they’re a creed. A warrior culture adopted by beings across the galaxy who live by the Way, bound by beskar armour, a strict code, and the helmet that stays on. That distinction matters for collecting: the Black Series Mandalorian faction covers everyone who wears the creed, from Clone Wars-era Death Watch through Din Djarin’s secretive covert and Bo-Katan’s push to reunite Mandalore. It’s a faction defined by armour design, warrior posture, and a visual language so strong that a shelf of Mandalorian figures reads immediately as a coherent unit.

Din Djarin dominates the faction by release count — the most-covered Mandalorian in the line by a significant margin, with versions spanning every major season of the show and multiple exclusive variants. But the supporting cast has grown substantially, and the 2024 generic warrior wave finally gave the faction its army-building depth.

Din Djarin — The Mandalorian Himself

The character simply known as The Mandalorian has been released in more configurations than any other figure in the faction. Standard beskar armour, credit collection, carbonized, archive, Arvala-7 deluxe, Maldo Kreis deluxe, Morak civilian disguise, Mines of Mandalore, BOBF Glavis Ringworld, Mandalorian and Grogu film version — every major appearance across the series has been covered, many multiple times.

For most display purposes the Beskar Armor (MAN 01) or the Archive version are the core figures — clean beskar, signature weapons, the look most people associate with the character. The Darksaber Force FX Elite is a natural companion piece for collectors who display props alongside figures. For the Mines of Mandalore aesthetic specifically, the MAN 37 version captures the worn, battle-damaged look from Season 3 well.

Bo-Katan Kryze and the Named Warriors

Bo-Katan Kryze has two releases — the Galaxy Collection mainline MAN 10 figure and the Archive version — both capturing the Nite Owl commander and Mandalore pretender in her distinctive blue armour with the Darksaber. She’s the faction’s most prominent named character after Din Djarin and essential for any display representing The Mandalorian’s broader political story.

The Armorer is the covert’s spiritual and practical centre — the forge keeper who maintains the Way and creates beskar armour. Two releases cover her: the standard MAN 04 mainline and the Deluxe version with forge accessories and a display stand. The Deluxe is the stronger figure for display, giving her a contextual setting that the standard release lacks.

Paz Vizsla — the heavy weapons specialist of the Nevarro covert — has two releases, the original Target Deluxe and the more recent MAN 36 mainline. The heavy blaster cannon and shield make him the most imposing figure in the faction by physical presence, and he anchors a covert display effectively as the front-line muscle.

Koska Reeves, Axe Woves, and the Mandalorian Fleet Commander round out the named Nite Owl contingent. None are the most-sought figures in the line, but together they flesh out Bo-Katan’s crew and give the faction’s political storyline physical representation beyond the two main characters.

Cobb Vanth is an interesting inclusion in the Mandalorian faction — the Tatooine marshal wore Boba Fett’s salvaged armour without being a true Mandalorian, which the show made a point of addressing. His Deluxe release includes the armour configuration from his Tatooine appearances and is one of the more distinctive figures in the faction for that reason.

The Army-Building Core

The 2024 warrior wave was the faction’s most significant expansion for collectors wanting a genuine Mandalorian covert display. The Nite Owl, Privateer, and Shriek-Hawk all share a base body but carry distinct helmet configurations and paint schemes — exactly what the faction needed to move beyond a shelf of Din Djarin variants and named characters.

These three figures together with the Death Watch Mandalorian give you visual variety in generic warriors. The Death Watch Mandalorian (MAN 21) covers the older Clone Wars-era armour styling in a live-action aesthetic, a useful contrast to the uniform post-ROTJ covert look. The Mandalorian Privateer (Target exclusive) and Shriek-Hawk (Target exclusive) require some retailer tracking, but both are worth the effort if you’re building a massed warrior display.

The Holiday Edition Mandalorian Warrior and Mandalorian Scout add seasonal variations that some collectors include and others keep separate — personal preference, but they use the same armour base as the mainline figures.

The Clone Wars Mandalorians

Three Clone Wars-era figures extend the faction’s timeline back to the Siege of Mandalore. Pre Vizsla (CW 17) carries the Darksaber — his most important accessory as the Death Watch leader who wielded it before Maul took it from him. The Mandalorian Loyalist and Mandalorian Super Commando are both Walmart exclusives from the 2020 Clone Wars wave, covering the two opposing sides of the Siege: the Loyalists defending the old Mandalorian government, the Super Commandos fighting for Maul’s puppet state.

These three figures together with the Death Watch Mandalorian from the main Mandalorian sub-line give you enough Clone Wars-era representation for a credible Siege of Mandalore display, though they require mixing animated-adjacent aesthetics with the live-action figures of the main line.

Rook Kast from the Maul: Shadow Lord comic wave is a recent addition — the Shadow Collective Mandalorian brings a comics-era warrior into the faction alongside the more familiar screen characters.

Grogu, Kuiil, and the Supporting Cast

Following the faction reassignments, Grogu, Kuiil, Q9-0, and IG-12 now sit in the Mandalorian faction rather than Neutral — reflecting their role in The Mandalorian’s story rather than formal allegiance.

Grogu has two standalone releases plus appearances in several Din Djarin deluxe sets. The IG-12 & Grogu Deluxe is the most recent and captures the pair’s Season 3 dynamic — Grogu piloting the repurposed IG droid — in a strong double-figure release. Kuiil has three releases across the Credit Collection and Mandalorian sub-lines, the Ugnaught farmer rendered consistently across all versions. Q9-0 (Zero) is the assassin droid from Season 1, a single release that fills a specific narrative slot for collectors building the Nevarro covert scene.

Display Strategy

The Mandalorian faction’s display strength comes from layering named anchor figures with the generic warriors. Din Djarin and Bo-Katan as the two leads, The Armorer as the covert centre, Paz Vizsla as the heavy weapons presence, then Nite Owl, Privateer, and Shriek-Hawk filling the rank and file — this is the Children of the Watch covert in plastic.

For a broader Mandalorian history display, the Clone Wars-era figures (Pre Vizsla, Loyalist, Super Commando) at one end and the Season 3 figures at the other tells the story of Mandalore’s fractured factions across generations. The beskar visual language ties them together despite the era gap.

The faction’s all-armoured aesthetic photographs particularly well — every figure has a helmet, every figure has weapons, and the variety in armour paint and configuration creates visual interest without needing alien species diversity or costume changes to break up the shelf.
