The Emperor’s Hand is finally making her way to your collection. After months of rumors and leaked images, the Mara Jade Funko Pop (Legends #839) is officially set to drop tomorrow, Wednesday, March 25, 2026, at 9:00 AM PST.
For Star Wars fans, this is a massive moment. Mara Jade has long been one of the most beloved characters from the Expanded Universe (now Legends), and seeing her get the official Specialty Series treatment is a testament to her enduring popularity.
A Must-Have for Legends Collectors
This figure captures Mara Jade’s iconic look perfectly. Sporting her signature tactical gear, a blaster in one hand, and her striking purple lightsaber in the other, the design leans heavily into her appearances in The Thrawn Trilogy and Jedi Knight: Mysteries of the Sith.
As a Specialty Series release, this Pop is designed specifically for local comic book shops and smaller independent retailers rather than big-box stores. This means it will likely be produced in smaller quantities, making it a “grail” item for many before it even hits the shelves.
When and Where to Buy
To ensure you don’t miss out, set your alarms for the following time zones:
- 9:00 AM PST
- 12:00 PM EST
- 4:00 PM GMT
Retailers expected to go live with pre-orders include:
- Entertainment Earth
- Big Bad Toy Store
- Local Comic Shop (LCS) online portals
Why the Hype?
Mara Jade has always occupied a unique space in the Star Wars mythos. As a former assassin for Palpatine who eventually became a Jedi Master and the wife of Luke Skywalker, her story is one of the most complex and celebrated in the franchise. While she hasn’t appeared in the current Disney cinematic canon, the “Legends” branding on the box confirms that Funko is committed to honoring the classic EU history that fans still cherish today.
Given the recent popularity of other Legends-themed Pops like Darth Revan and Bastila Shan, you can expect this release to sell out quickly.
