Greedo — Star Wars The Black Series 6-Inch Figure #07

Overview

If you’re looking for a Black Series Greedo, this 2013 Orange Wave release is your only option — Hasbro has never produced a second 6-inch version of the character, making #07 the definitive Black Series Greedo by default. The good news is that it’s a genuinely strong figure that holds up well over a decade after its release.

Greedo is a single-scene character — the Mos Eisley Cantina confrontation with Han Solo is his entire A New Hope role — but that scene is one of the most iconic in the franchise. For that reason, this Black Series figure carries more display weight than limited screen time would suggest. The Rodian alien design works strongly in the 6-inch format: the bulbous green head, multifaceted eyes, and flared snout require no human likeness technology, which means there’s no Photo Real comparison to make and no portrait that dates with the line’s advancing standards. The sculpt needed to be accurate to the practical costume, and it is.

Released in Wave 2 of the Orange Wave alongside Boba Fett (#06) and Han Solo (#08), Black Series figure #07 Greedo represents a genuine overdelivery for a supporting character — 19 joints, removable clothing elements, and one of the better accessory configurations in the 2013 launch waves.

Accessories

The Black Series Greedo comes with three accessories: a blaster pistol, a removable orange vest, and a removable belt with holster.

The blaster is the standout piece. The trigger finger aligns naturally in Greedo’s right hand — one of those small engineering details that separates a good action figure from a great one. The holster on the belt is sized correctly for the blaster and the weapon seats cleanly inside it, supporting a holstered read alongside the active-draw pose.

The orange vest removes easily — worth noting that there is no blast mark sculpted underneath it, so a post-confrontation scene configuration isn’t available. The belt is a separate piece that unclips at the front and lifts off the figure entirely. Both removable elements add meaningful display flexibility. Subtle dirt weathering across the outfit gives Greedo a lived-in cantina appearance rather than a clean toy finish.

Sculpt and Articulation

The Greedo head sculpt is the strongest alien portrait in the Orange Wave. The multifaceted eyes are carefully rendered, the suction-cup snout texture reads accurately, and the proportions match the film reference closely. Because there is no human likeness involved, this Black Series figure ages better than the human portraits from the same wave — the sculpt has nothing to be compared against except the practical costume, and it wins that comparison.

The 19-joint configuration is well-engineered for an alien character where thin limbs and a fitted jumpsuit create limited hiding opportunities for articulation breaks. Ball-jointed neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, and ankles, plus swivel thighs and above- and below-knee swivels, give the figure a full range of dynamic poses. Galacticfigures specifically notes that the joints are unusually well-hidden within the sculpt — a genuine technical achievement for this body type. No balancing issues in action poses. For Black Series articulation in 2013, this is among the better outcomes in the wave.

Display

The natural display context for Black Series Greedo is the Mos Eisley Cantina scene. The Black Series has populated this setting well across multiple eras — Ponda Baba (ANH 02), Doctor Evazan (ANH 03), Figrin D’an (ANH 04), and the Nalan Cheel Deluxe (ANH 05) from the Galaxy Collection A New Hope line provide a full cantina floor. The 2013 Greedo will show some era difference alongside these newer releases in direct comparison, but the alien sculpt holds up better than most Orange Wave human characters in mixed-display arrangements.

The cantina confrontation — Greedo with blaster raised across from Han Solo — is the obvious pose, and Han Solo (#08) releases in the same wave, making the full booth scene achievable from a single wave purchase. For Mos Eisley street displays, Greedo pairs naturally with the Sandtrooper (#03) and 40th Anniversary Jawa for a wider Tatooine arrangement. The Orange Wave does an unusually good job of populating the Mos Eisley setting from a single wave.

For Black Series cantina display collectors specifically, this figure is non-negotiable — no cantina arrangement is complete without him.

Collector Notes

No variations are recorded for Black Series Greedo #07 and no knockoff versions have been documented. Secondary market values for loose complete copies are accessible — Wave 2 had strong production and wide retail distribution.

The removable vest and belt are the accessories most commonly absent from loose secondary market copies given their small size and easy detachment. When buying loose, confirm both are present alongside the blaster — the belt in particular can be overlooked by sellers who don’t realise it’s a separate removable piece.

As noted above, no updated Black Series Greedo exists. The 50th Anniversary releases (Greedo Kenner and Greedo POTF2) cover different packaging contexts rather than being new moulds. The Galaxy Collection A New Hope line has not revisited the character. This 2013 Orange Wave figure is the Black Series Greedo, full stop.

Verdict

Black Series Greedo #07 is one of the underrated figures in the Orange Wave and one of the stronger alien character releases in the line’s early years. The sculpt ages well, the articulation engineering is better than the body type would suggest, and the accessories are functional and thoughtfully removable.

The question of whether this is the best Black Series Greedo has an easy answer: it’s the only one. But it would be a strong release even if competition existed. Accessible secondary market pricing, no better version to hold out for, and essential status for any Mos Eisley or cantina display — Black Series #07 Greedo is an easy recommendation.
