New Star Wars Funko Pops 2026: Maul Shadow Lord and Retro Icons Revealed

Posted on by
Three Star Wars Funko Pop! figures from the Shadow Collective against a starry space background: Maul wearing a black hooded robe with a red lightsaber, a Zabrak warrior (Icarus) holding a large gatling-style blaster, and Rook Kast in her signature purple and red Mandalorian armor.

The galaxy far, far away is about to get a lot more crowded on your shelves. Funko has officially pulled back the curtain on a massive wave of new Star Wars Funko Pops 2026, spanning the gritty underworld of the upcoming Maul: Shadow Lord series to nostalgia-fueled “Retro” designs of Prequel-era legends.

Whether you are a dedicated collector of the Sith or a devotee of the Jedi Order, this lineup offers a diverse range of figures that capture iconic moments and stylistic artistic choices. Here is everything you need to know about the latest reveals.

Enter the Underworld: Maul: Shadow Lord Collection

With the hype building for the Maul: Shadow Lord series, Funko is wasting no time bringing these characters to life in vinyl form. Leading the pack is the titular character himself, Maul.

The standard Pop! Maul (#828) showcases the former Sith apprentice in his post-Clone Wars prime, wielding his iconic double-bladed lightsaber. For those looking for something a bit more exclusive, the Pop! Maul with Robe (#831) is a Funko Web Exclusive that adds a layer of mystery and menace to the character’s silhouette.

Joining Maul are his Mandalorian allies and enforcers:

  • Pop! Rook Kast: A fan-favorite from the Shadow Collective, Rook Kast arrives with her striking Mandalorian armor and jetpack, ready to enforce Maul’s will.
  • Pop! Icarus: This Zabrak warrior is a powerhouse addition to the line, featuring a heavy blaster cannon that emphasizes the martial might of Maul’s criminal empire.

Nostalgia Strikes Back: The Star Wars Retro Series

One of the most visually distinct sub-lines in recent years is the Retro Series, which utilizes a vibrant, “comic-book style” color palette inspired by vintage Star Wars merchandise and artwork. The new Star Wars Funko Pops 2026 wave includes three heavy hitters from the Prequel Trilogy:

  1. Count Dooku (Retro): Captured in a dynamic pose, the Separatist leader looks sharper than ever in these high-contrast colors.
  2. Mace Windu (Retro): The Jedi Master comes complete with his signature purple blade, pop-art style.
  3. Jango Fett (Retro): This version of the galaxy’s most famous bounty hunter highlights the sleek lines of his Mandalorian armor with a unique retro flair.

These figures are perfect for fans who want their collection to stand out with a splash of color that departs from the standard movie-accurate paint jobs.

A Galaxy in Your Bookshelf: Yoda’s Hut Pop! Nook

Perhaps the most unique reveal in this batch is the Pop! Nooks: Yoda in His Hut. Unlike a standard figure, the “Pop! Nook” is designed to sit between books or on a shelf to create a 3D diorama. This piece features a miniature Pop! version of Master Yoda outside his humble Dagobah home. It is a highly detailed collectible that brings a bit of the swamp planet’s atmosphere into your home library.

When Can You Get Them?

Most of these new Star Wars Funko Pops 2026 are currently available for pre-order. The Maul: Shadow Lord and Retro Series figures are expected to begin shipping in late March 2026, perfectly timed for the premiere of the new Disney+ series in April.

Star Wars fans should act fast, as web exclusives like the Robed Maul tend to disappear into hyperspace quickly. Keep your eyes on Outer Rim News for more updates on upcoming Funko releases and all things Star Wars!

The Jedi’s Greatest Warrior Charges Into Battle – Marvel Comics Announces STAR WARS: JEDI OF THE REPUBLIC – MACE WINDU #1!

Posted on by
Marvel

New York, NY—May 18, 2017—The Jedi have always been the galaxy’s peacekeepers…but with the Clone Wars on the horizon, all that is about to change. This August, writer Matt Owens (Elektra) will team with artist Denys Cowan (Nighthawk, Captain America/Black Panther: Flags of Our Fathers) to unveil the exciting story of one of the Jedi’s greatest warriors in STAR WARS: JEDI OF THE REPUBLIC – MACE WINDU #1!

One of the most accomplished and storied members of the Jedi High Council, his wisdom and combat prowess are legendary. Now, in this new story, readers will get to see Mace Windu lead his Jedi into battle…and face the ultimate test of leadership!

“No matter how well trained for battle the Jedi are, having to actually put those skills to use is another thing entirely. The preferred tools of the Jedi are diplomacy, harmony, education, peace. Now they find themselves leading troops on battlefields across the galaxy,” said series writer Matt Owens. “They’re going to have a lot of thoughts about this. Is this really the way to peace? Is this the position I should be taking? Is this really the path the Jedi should be walking down. Doubt is understandable, but what each individual does with that doubt is very telling of who they are and where they will end up.”

Don’t be surprised if you see familiar faces of fan favorites, which Owens promises “will feel like an organic part of the tapestry of the Star Wars universe.” This August, May the Force Be With You when Marvel releases STAR WARS: JEDI OF THE REPUBLIC – MACE WINDU #1, available wherever comics are sold!
