The Black Series Biker Scout & Grogu Holiday Edition 2-Pack — early December 2022 Walmart exclusive. Pack #3 of 6.

Overview
The Biker Scout & Grogu Holiday Edition 2-Pack is the third of six Holiday Edition 2-packs in the 2022 series, released in early December 2022 exclusively through Walmart. Walmart exclusive at $27.99. The Biker Scout uses the 2014 source body sculpt in a unique Christmas-inspired paint application. Grogu accompanies in a holiday-styled bag. Pack #3 of 6 in the 2022 Holiday Edition series.
The 25-Joint Articulation
25 joints — the highest joint count in the 2022 Holiday Edition series and matching the Biker Scout Carbonized (2022) which uses the same source body. Ball-jointed top neck, swivel middle neck, ball-jointed shoulders, swivel biceps, swivel joints above and below both elbows, ball-jointed wrists, ball-jointed upper body, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, swivel joints above and below both knees, swivel boots, ball-jointed ankles. The swivel biceps, dual-axis elbow configuration, and swivel boot engineering all sit above the Phase 4 baseline. For a Holiday Edition figure, this is a genuinely strong articulation package.
The Christmas Paint
This Biker Scout sculpt has been released numerous times by Hasbro over the years, but this time it has a unique Christmas inspired paint application. The seasonal colour scheme maps across the canonical Biker Scout’s white-on-dark armour. The figure stands well on display without falling over even in dynamic poses.
The Blaster and Boot Holster
The blaster can be placed into a holster located on the right boot — the canonical Biker Scout equipment-stowage configuration. The small and out-of-scale looking blaster fits well into both of the figure’s hands. The blaster-too-small note carried over from the Carbonized release — it’s a source body characteristic.
There are no removable parts on the Biker Scout’s armour. No head underneath the helmet. The front visor can’t be flipped up.
Grogu in a Holiday Bag
Grogu accompanies the Biker Scout in a white holiday bag — a charming seasonal pairing that plays on the canonical Grogu-as-cargo dynamic from The Mandalorian Season 1. The Biker Scout carrying Grogu in a holiday sack is a specifically strong character-concept fit for a Holiday Edition release.
Verdict
Biker Scout & Grogu Holiday Edition 2-Pack is the articulation highlight of the 2022 Holiday Edition series — 25 joints with swivel biceps, dual-axis elbows, and swivel boots from the 2014 source body is genuinely above-baseline, the Grogu-in-holiday-sack character concept is one of the better seasonal pairings in the series, and the boot holster blaster works cleanly. The blaster’s out-of-scale proportions are a source-body characteristic rather than a Holiday Edition specific issue. Walmart exclusive, early December 2022, Pack #3 of 6.
