There’s no more brilliant tactician in the Galactic Empire than the evil Grand Admiral Thrawn. He’s a smart, cunning killer—and soon, you can put that blue baddie on your shelf and make him your property thanks to the team at Hot Toys.
Thrawn was first introduced over 30 years ago, in the 1991 novel Star Wars: Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn. Instantly, fans became enamored with this new type of Star Wars villain. However, a few decades later, his stories were wiped out of Star Wars canon, only to be reintroduced by Dave Filoni first in Star Wars Rebels and, this year, in Star Wars: Ahsoka. There, for the first time, Star Wars fans finally got to see Thrawn in all his physical glory, performed in live-action by his Rebels voice actor Lars Mikkelsen (brother of Rogue One and Indiana Jones star Mads Mikkelsen).
And now, Thrawn has the ultimate collectible: his very own Hot Toys. And it’s a thing of beauty. It isn’t expected to ship until late 2024 at the earliest, but you can preorder the $255 piece now at Sideshow and see more images in our slideshow.
