An Ode To My Dave Filoni Action Figure

The hyperlink between Star Wars and toys is as robust as that between the Jedi and the Force. You merely can’t have one with out the opposite. And now one among Star Wars’ strongest creators has turn out to be immortalized in that cross part.

Earlier this month, Hasbro launched a Black Series determine of a personality from The Mandalorian named Trapper Wolf. Now, except you’re a tremendous Star Wars nerd, that title means nothing to you. Wolf isn’t the Mandalorian himself, Grogu, Cara Dune, and even Greef Karga. He’s solely appeared in two episodes and had possibly three minutes of display screen time. And but, I bought this motion determine for one cause. Trapper Wolf is performed by Dave Filoni, and if it wasn’t for Dave Filoni, Star Wars as we all know it proper now would in all probability look very, very totally different.

After years engaged on Avatar: The Last Airbender, King of the Hill and others, Filoni helped George Lucas co-created The Clone Wars TV sequence. A sequence that, within the years following the prequels, saved the franchise alive for a lot of followers. After that sequence, Filoni did Star Wars Rebels. And when Rebels was performed he created Resistance, despatched that to a different group, and started engaged on The Mandalorian the place, together with Jon Favreau and lots of others, he’s as soon as once more reinvented what Star Wars may very well be.

And now, he’s an motion determine. An honor Star Wars creator George Lucas has also been given in the past. Lucas has even made a cameo within the franchise, briefly showing as Baron Papanoida in Revenge of the Sith. But Trapper Wolf has dialogue. He flies an X-Wing. He forgives Mandalorians with undocumented ships in the event that they do good issues. And now he’s received a foul ass motion determine. So let’s simply indulge in it. Here’s the elegant packaging.

It comes with a helmet and blaster. Not that Trapper wants a blaster. And actually we kinda want it got here with a Filoni cowboy hat. Anyway…

On the again, that’s his bio. Black Series figures by no means have excellent bios so, it’s okay.

That’s an in depth up of the face sculpt. And truthfully? Not dangerous. It seems like Dave, we imply Trapper.

The helmet is fairly candy. Nice markings and such.

And right here’s the place Trapper will reside in my home, together with just a few of the characters he helped create.
