Star Wars Black Series Holocomm Collection Complete Guide | FigureShelf

What Is the Holocomm Collection?

The Black Series Holocomm Collection is a sub-line of translucent blue figures designed to recreate the holographic bounty puck transmissions seen throughout The Mandalorian. Every figure is cast in clear blue plastic with a hologram-style deco, and each one comes with a light-up holopuck base — press the button and the base illuminates the figure from below, press and hold for a 30-minute light display. Each also includes a bounty chip with an Aurebesh inscription.

The concept is simple and effective as a display format. A row of Holocomm figures lit up on a shelf creates a genuinely striking effect, and the translucent plastic catches light in a way that regular painted figures don’t. The limitation is the same one collectors noted immediately: the holopuck illuminates the bottom of the figure well, but the light doesn’t reach the head on taller figures — which diminishes the effect somewhat on characters like Darth Vader where the helmet is the recognisable silhouette.

Pricing shifted between waves — the initial 2023 wave launched at $34.99, while the 2024 figures came in at $27.99–$29.99. All figures are retailer exclusives or Fan Channel releases.

Wave 1 — October 2023

The first five figures launched in October 2023 and drew primarily from The Mandalorian and related characters. All come with the light-up holopuck, bounty chip, and character-specific accessories.

The Mandalorian — Hasbro Pulse / ShopDisney, $34.99. Rifle, pistol, jetpack. The logical centrepiece for a line built around the Mandalorian’s bounty puck world.

Han Solo — Fan Channel (Entertainment Earth, BBTS, Hasbro Pulse), $34.99. Blaster. The only original trilogy character in the first wave — a standalone choice that nods to the bounty the character represents across the saga.

Axe Woves — Amazon exclusive, $34.99. Blaster, helmet, jetpack. Clan Kryze’s most volatile member in translucent blue.

Bo-Katan Kryze — Target exclusive, $34.99. Dual pistols, helmet, jetpack. The Nite Owls commander.

Ahsoka Tano — Walmart exclusive, $34.99. Debuted at Walmart Collector Con on October 13th, a week after the other four. Two lightsabers.

Wave 2 — 2024

The second wave expanded beyond the Mandalorian-era characters and dropped the price point to $27.99–$29.99. The character choices made more conceptual sense for a hologram sub-line — Darth Vader and Darth Maul are both characters who appear as holograms in the films, which is more than can be said for several Wave 1 picks.

Darth Maul — Target exclusive, $29.99. Double-bladed lightsaber. Target pre-order March 21st 2024.

Darth Vader — Amazon exclusive, $27.99. Lightsaber. Announced the same week as Darth Maul. Generally considered the most logical character in the entire line — a hologram Vader on a desk makes immediate sense.

Ezra Bridger — Fan Channel exclusive, $27.99. Lightsaber, blaster. Based on his Rebels appearance. Pre-order June 12th 2024.

Osha Aniseya — Hasbro Pulse / ShopDisney, $27.99. Two droid accessories, backpack, blaster. From The Acolyte. Pre-order June 12th 2024.

Mae (Assassin) — Walmart exclusive, $27.99. Knife accessories, removable face wrap. From The Acolyte. Pre-order July 25th 2024 at Walmart Collector Con.

The Holopuck

Every Holocomm Collection figure includes the same holopuck base system. The puck requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). Press the button once for the illuminated base. Press and hold for a 30-minute light display. The figure stands on the puck via a peg connection.

The practical limitation is that the light source is at the bottom. Figures with distinctive upper-body silhouettes — robes, helmets, weapons raised — display better than figures where the head is the main visual interest, because the light gradients upward and loses intensity before reaching the top. Darth Vader, noted in collector discussion, has the opposite problem: his dark helmet absorbs rather than scatters the light, which reduces the transmission effect. The translucent plastic figures like Ahsoka and Ezra Bridger scatter the light more evenly throughout the body.

Display Notes

All Holocomm Collection figures are the same underlying Black Series figure mould as the standard release, cast in translucent blue. The articulation is identical. They’re poseable in the same ways as the regular versions — but the display intent is clearly static, lit, on the holopuck. Dynamic poses work against the bounty puck concept.

They’re designed to be built into a row — the packaging literally says “look for more Holocomm Collection figures to build a galactic communication hub on your shelf.” As a shelf theme they work; as individual figures without the light-up element they’re less compelling than painted equivalents.
