So remember last week we brought you images of The Force Awakens Black Series 6inch Stormtrooper (here)?

Well now Star Wars collector site JediInsider has images that they believe is the Black Series packaging of the same figure… and it’s beautiful. They write:

We have an exclusive first look at the packaging for this upcoming [6″ Star Wars: The Black Series “The Force Awakens” First Order Stromtrooper figure coming from Hasbro]. We don’t have much in the way of details right now, but this packaging definitely looks to be some kind of special edition version. Perhaps this figure will first be released as a 2015 San Diego Comic Con exclusive like we have seen with previous Black Series figures in the past?”

We must say, our first thought was they might be preview figures like the ones released before each of the prequel movies in toy stores…

Whatever they are, we love the packaging. What about you guys?

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
