The Black Series First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter

November 19, 2015 by Stephen Jang Leave a Comment

I like buying Hasbro’s Star Wars Black Series line of 6″ figures because of the details and pose-ability, but I never thought we would get full fledge vehicles or spacecraft for the 6″ line. I’m proven wrong with this Hasbro release of the The Black Series First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter. Now that’s a mouthful.
