Two HK-87 Figures: Ahsoka vs Mandalorian
The Black Series Phase 4 has two HK-87 figures: this Ahsoka series version at #AHS 05 (2023, standard retail, $24.99) and the Mandalorian version at #MAN 29 (2023, standard retail, $24.99, with soft-goods robe half and removable wires). Both are the same HK-87 design in the same price tier — the distinction is the series they’re associated with and the specific accessories they carry.
The Ahsoka series HK-87 carries the blaster as its primary accessory. The Mandalorian HK-87 carries the blaster plus the soft-goods robe and removable wires. For collectors choosing between the two: the Mandalorian version has more accessories. For collectors building complete series-specific displays: both are worth having, each assigned to its respective collection.
21 Joints: Consistent with the HK-87 Design
The 21-joint scheme with butterfly shoulders is consistent across both HK-87 versions — the articulation investment that the HK-series design’s tall, angular chassis justifies. The butterfly shoulders enable the specific mechanical arm positions that distinguish the HK design from standard humanoid figure poses. Both HK-87 figures at $24.99 standard retail deliver the same articulation quality.
The Ahsoka Collection’s Droid Tier
HK-87 at #AHS 05 is the Ahsoka Collection’s droid entry — the antagonist-aligned assassination platform that serves Morgan Elsbeth in the same way that IG-series droids have served various operators across the Mandalorian era. Display the HK-87 alongside Morgan Elsbeth (#AHS 04) and the antagonist faction’s most capable non-human member is present.

Our Verdict
HK-87 Assassin Droid at #AHS 05 is the Ahsoka Collection’s droid figure — 21 joints, Morgan Elsbeth’s assassin, $24.99 standard retail. Buy him alongside both the Ahsoka series antagonists. The first five figures of the Ahsoka Collection cover both sides of the series’ central conflict.
The HK-87 in the Ahsoka Series Context
The HK-87’s role in the Ahsoka series is the visible enforcement arm of Morgan Elsbeth’s operation — the assassin droids who pursue, threaten, and engage the protagonists in the series’ action sequences. Where the later Mandalorian HK-87 is associated with a specific faction and social context (the robe communicating the droid operating within a society), the Ahsoka series HK-87 is the operational unit in active pursuit configuration.
The 21-joint butterfly-shoulder scheme makes the HK-87 the Ahsoka Collection’s most articulated figure — matching Q9-0’s joint count in the Mandalorian Collection and enabling the specific mechanical pose vocabulary of the HK-series angular chassis. At $24.99 standard retail, the HK-87 Assassin Droid is the collection’s articulation leader at its most accessible price.
Army Building the HK-87 Formation
The Ahsoka series deploys multiple HK-87 units — the formation of assassin droids rather than a single unit. Multiple HK-87 figures at $24.99 standard retail create the formation display that the series depicts. The 21-joint scheme on each figure enables varied display poses within the formation, preventing the visual uniformity that flat-posed army builders can create.
HK-87 Assassin Droid at dollar 24.99 standard retail with 21 joints is the Ahsoka Collection’s most articulated figure and its droid entry. The butterfly shoulders enable the mechanical pose vocabulary that the HK-series chassis suggests. Display alongside Morgan Elsbeth for the antagonist faction with its enforcement arm present. Buy multiple for the formation that the series depicts.
