The 2022 Black Series The Client is one of the most atmospheric and character‑driven civilian figures in the entire Phase IV line. Played by Werner Herzog, The Client embodies the decaying Imperial Remnant — polite, soft‑spoken, and terrifying in his certainty. His scenes in The Mandalorian Season 1 set the tone for the entire series, establishing the stakes, the mystery of Grogu, and the fractured state of the post‑Endor galaxy.
Hasbro’s sculpt captures Herzog’s likeness with remarkable fidelity. The portrait includes the deep‑set eyes, the weary expression, and the subtle asymmetry of his features. The photoreal paint enhances the aged skin tone and the quiet menace in his gaze. The hair sculpt is thin, swept back, and screen‑accurate to his appearance in the Nevarro safehouse.
The outfit is understated but richly detailed. The long coat features textured fabric sculpting, layered seams, and subtle weathering. The chain clasp across the chest — a symbol of his lingering Imperial authority — is sharply sculpted and painted with metallic accents. The tunic and trousers maintain the muted palette of the Imperial Remnant, grounding the figure in the gritty, lived‑in aesthetic of the series.
The accessory loadout is perfect for this character. The tracking fob is a crisp, screen‑accurate sculpt that fits naturally in his hand, referencing the moment he hires Din to retrieve “the asset.” The camtono is fully functional, opening to reveal the interior storage cavity. The three Beskar ingots are individually sculpted and painted with the correct Imperial stamp, allowing collectors to recreate the negotiation scene with precision.
As a standard retail release, The Client became a sleeper hit among collectors — a figure that elevates any Nevarro, bounty‑hunter, or Imperial Remnant display.
