The galaxy’s darker history is coming to life once again in the 6-inch scale. Hasbro has officially pulled back the curtain on a massive addition to the Gaming Greats sub-line: the Black Series Darth Nihilus & Darth Traya 2-Pack. This highly anticipated set brings two of the most iconic villains from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords to the Black Series for the first time as a cohesive duo.
For many fans, this release represents a significant milestone in Hasbro’s commitment to Expanded Universe (Legends) content. While Darth Nihilus previously saw a release in the line, this updated version and the long-awaited debut of Darth Traya make this set a must-have for collectors of the Old Republic era.
The Lords of Shadow: Nihilus and Traya
The Black Series Darth Nihilus & Darth Traya 2-Pack captures the haunting aesthetic of the Sith Triumvirate. Darth Nihilus, the Lord of Hunger, is a fan-favorite character known for his terrifying mask and his ability to consume the Force energy of entire planets. This version of Nihilus appears to feature updated soft goods and articulation, allowing fans to pose him in his signature menacing stances.
Accompanying him is Darth Traya, the Lord of Betrayal. Traya is one of the most complex characters in Star Wars lore, serving as both a mentor and an antagonist in KOTOR II. Her inclusion in the Black Series has been a top request for years. The figure captures her distinctive robes and features her unique ability to wield lightsabers through the Force, a detail that will surely please fans who want to recreate her climactic battles.
Premium Detailing and Accessories
As part of the Black Series, both figures in this 2-pack boast the premium deco and multiple points of articulation that the line is known for. The Black Series Darth Nihilus & Darth Traya 2-Pack includes multiple lightsaber accessories. Most notably, Traya is expected to come with her trio of floating lightsabers, a mechanical challenge for toy designers that Hasbro seems to have tackled to provide an authentic gameplay-to-shelf experience.
The packaging for this set follows the “Gaming Greats” branding, featuring artwork that highlights the characters’ roles in the beloved video game. For those who display their figures in-box, the presentation offers a dark, atmospheric look at the Sith Lords who nearly brought the Jedi Order to total extinction.
Availability and Release Information
The Black Series Darth Nihilus & Darth Traya 2-Pack is an Amazon exclusive, continuing Hasbro’s trend of placing specialty gaming sets with major retail partners. Retail pricing is set at $59.99, a standard price point for modern Black Series 2-packs that feature unique molds and significant soft-goods components.
Pre-orders are now live, and given the massive popularity of Knights of the Old Republic, these are likely to move quickly. Collectors should keep a close eye on the Amazon listing to ensure they don’t miss out on adding these Sith legends to their shelves.
The release of the Black Series Darth Nihilus & Darth Traya 2-Pack signals that Hasbro is still very much invested in the “Gaming Greats” line. While much of the recent Black Series focus has been on Disney+ series like The Mandalorian or The Acolyte, the deep dive into KOTOR II lore proves that the demand for Legends characters remains high.
For fans of the Old Republic, the only question remaining is when we might see the third member of the Triumvirate, Darth Sion, to complete the set. Until then, Nihilus and Traya stand ready to dominate any collection they join.
