Reis O'Brien: We got it sculpted just fine, but the real trial and error came with getting the factory to nail the paints on that zigzagging pattern of the orange strips woven into her hair. But after a few tries, we finally found a great solution. Mandalorian Judge, Paz Vizsla, and our titular hero in a starfighter – they’re all here, turning memorable episodes into tangible memories. His bear-enhanced stormtroopers and the haunting vision of Force-sensitive clones of himself only intensified the stakes.

The rebuilding of the Great Forge signaled hope and renewal for the Mandalorians, but the moment that melted our hearts? And she's not alone. The new lineup of collectibles includes both a Dark Trooper and Luke Skywalker holding Grogu, Cobb Vanth, the Child deep in meditation, and versions of Fennec Shand and Boba Fett, including the duo perched on a throne in the palace formerly known as Jabba's.

Although some boxes are branded as Star Wars: The Mandalorian, the overall box numbering ties into the main Funko Pop Star Wars line. Reis O'Brien: For the flying Dark Trooper, beyond the excellent sculpt, what really needed to be captured here was the sad little face on Grogu, with his little baby hand reaching out to Mando. When I first saw it, my heart almost broke! StarWars.com: Let's walk through the sculpts of each one so you can call out some of the fine details or highlight areas that were challenging. Reis O'Brien: This moment in the show was extremely powerful. This brave little guy connecting with the Force as the stone began to glow and the mysterious hum arose. This was one of those scenes where I instantly thought "lights and sounds!" Then, at my next meeting with Merten, we both realized we were thinking the same exact thing at the same time. Another "no brainer." It just had to be done. And who could forget the moment she plunged into the Living Waters to save Din Djarin? The reappearance of the Mythosaur added another layer of complexity to her story.

Collect a new run of Star Wars figures via Funko Pop Star Wars The Mandalorian. The Disney+ series follows the bounty hunter played by Pedro Pascal. StarWars.com: First of all, thank you for making the Frog Lady figure of my dreams. For this newest wave of Funko Pops!, how did you decide which characters and moments you wanted to include from Season 2 of The Mandalorian? A titanic face-off between the Mandalorians and Moff Gideon’s forces culminated in a climactic explosion from which our heroes narrowly escaped. Reis O'Brien: I knew that Cobb Vanth was going to be a hit with the fans. Seeing that armor on another person was such an “wow” moment. One of my favorite aspects of the Pop! is how we made his body just a touch taller and leaner. And of course his amazing hair in the unhelmeted chase had to be perfect. The latest roster showcases familiar faces and some unexpected additions, encapsulating the rollercoaster of emotions experienced throughout the series.

The season was also peppered with unexpected alliances, hidden agendas, and tense face-offs. Dr. Pershing’s encounter with Elia Kane and their subsequent plot aboard a decommissioned Imperial-class Star Destroyer showcased that the line between friend and foe isn’t always clear.

Brian Merten: Glow-in-the-dark is a shining example of the kind of fun we can have with Pop! as an expression of bringing pop culture and toyetic cues to Star Wars. If you thought Din Djarin and Grogu’s adventures couldn’t get any more thrilling, this season certainly proved us wrong. StarWars.com: Tell me about the decision to do another lights-and-sounds piece with Grogu on the seeing stone. Why this moment and this character for that specialized treatment?

Starting off, we saw the ceremonial induction of a young child, Ragnar Vizsla, into the Mandalorian tribe, only to be abruptly interrupted by a Dinosaur Turtle. Reis O'Brien: Personally, when I first saw her, I immediately thought she’d make such a fun Pop! Then, when I noticed the fan reaction online, I knew right away that we had a fan-favorite on our hands. So I’d consider making her into a Pop! a classic “no brainer.” It just had to be done. StarWars.com: This wave has me extra excited for The Book of Boba Fett. What were some of your favorite parts or sculpting challenges for Boba and Fennec? Brian Merten: When Reis and I re-pose a Pop! we try and bring out a new aspect of the character, whether it’s personality or story. With a pose like this you can tell a different story by changing the weapon; Mando fights very differently with the weapons in his arsenal so we need to make sure the whole pose makes sense and is believable. From being forced to abandon her plans to reclaim Mandalore to venturing deep into its mines and facing a lurking cyborg creature, her path was fraught with challenges.

StarWars.com: There's also a Funko exclusive Mando in a special pose. What sets this sculpt apart from other Mandos that have come before? Moff Gideon’s return brought a new wave of challenges, mainly when he aimed to complete the Great Purge of Mandalore. The valiant Mandalorians had to rally together to defend their homeland, leading to some of the most riveting combat scenes yet. For Boba Fett in his armor, we found ourselves really striving to capture the look and feel of old armor that just got a new paint job. So it needed to look freshened up, but it's still an old set of armor that's been through countless scrapes and battles. That's where careful color callouts come in, knowing just how much and where to place those dings and scratches.

Mandalorian Season 3: A Galactical Odyssey of Close Calls and Surprising Twists

Brian Merten: The one with the scars was by far the hardest of the three Boba Fett Pops! With the un-helmeted version it really came down to how prominent and noticeable the scars should be -- this one also took multiple revisions to create. But then enters the intricate design of Bo-Katan Kryze, exuding power and authority, reminding fans of the fierce battles and strategic alliances that dominated the season.
