This term refers to a specific intersection of product line and retailer. It denotes the collection of six-inch scale action figures and related items from a popular science fiction franchise’s “Black Series” line, as offered for sale at a major retail corporation. Examples include character figures, vehicles scaled for the figures, and other collectibles, all typically found within the toy or collectibles aisles of the designated store.
The significance of this product availability stems from several factors. For collectors, it represents a potential point of access for securing desired items, sometimes including exclusive releases or discounted prices. Its importance is underscored by the franchise’s wide fanbase and the Black Series line’s appeal to adult collectors. Furthermore, the historical context involves the changing landscape of retail distribution for collectibles, where collaborations and exclusives between manufacturers and large retailers have become increasingly common.
