Couldn't find a thread about this, so I thought I'd start one. If one already exists please combine.

There are a few things I'm interested in, but I'm waiting on better visuals, or more backstory, before I upgrade them to "Wants".

I’ve seen nothing so far that I’d buy. The show has been great, especially ep.2, but no figures that I’d absolutely need. The ones I’m hoping for are rumored costume changes that come later in the season for some of the major players

For some reason, I could just picture them throwing a mythosaur head on the failed rancor body
Really the only figures I'd be interested in at this point are some colorful Tribe Mandos (using the DW/Axe Woves body as a base).
The first episode left me completely cold, but after episode 2 I'm interested to see what happens next, especially since the third episode is rumored to be 56 minutes and I'm always down for more Bo Katan!

There is a new Mando w/ Darksaber that's been Pipelined. IIRC, they did say he would be newly tooled, so we'll have to wait and see.
MOAR MANDOS!
No doubt there will be at least a few Tribe Mandalorian repaints, so I won't put them in my wants.
As of the first two episodes:
* Karga - Grand Magistrate ( including the robe-carrying droids
)
* Bo-Katan w/ Darksaber, wrist shield, jetpack flames ... ( wouldn't mind if they do another build-up set and include yet another Grogu with his all new pram )
* Bo-Katan's Droid
* creepy Grevious-ish eye-droid dude
* Peli Moto w/ pit droid ... ( come on Hasbro, shes a regular in all seasons Mando and BOBF so far, and you already have the molds for a pit droid from the Galaxy Edge set, so whats holding ya back ? )
* Multipack of the Anzellan mechanic crew

Hopefully the trend of Hasbro actually making figures outside of just the main cast keeps up, and we get some deeper picks from S3. I'm probably in the same boat as everyone else as far as what I want, though
-Peli is a must. She's the character with the most appearances aside from Mando and Grogu in these shows, and I love how casual and grounded she is as a character. Great opportunity to throw in a Pit Droid or a Tredwel (maybe with some playing card hands too?)
-Gorian Shard. As soon as I saw this guy, I knew I had to have him. Unfortunately Hasbro would probably slot him be a deluxe release given how complicated the sculpt would be. There's rumors that seem to suggest we haven't seen the last of him either, so hopefully that would bump his priority up a notch.
-Alamite Warrior. These were the cave-dwellers who attacked Mando in the mines. They're aliens, they're Star Wars-y enough, and I think it's more likely than not that we'll see these guys, considering that most "troop" builder characters get made these days.
-Burg, Xi'an, and Qin - We have Bill Burr, we have Q9-0, we even have a New Republic Security Droid. Not getting the rest of the heist crew would be unfair at this point. Burg would probably be a deluxe due to his size, but Xi'an and Qin are easy basic releases. They would require (gasp) new tooling, so Hasbro probably isn't rushing to get them done anytime soon, but it'd be nice to round out a group of new media characters so completely.
-Valin Hess - For the unaware (I'm assuming everyone), this was the terrifying Imperial officer who had an extended conversation with Bill Burr in Season 2. I loved the episode, but this scene stood out as something new and exciting in Disney Wars-- tension derived through dialouge rather than an overly long action scene. He's also an easy figure for Hasbro to make-- requiring only a new head.
-Quarrens. Any of them. The Trawler from the first episode, the fishermen from season 2, or the pirate from season 3. I love the species and I'm sad we've gone a decade without seeing them in the 6" line. Definitely low pirority for Hasbro considering their strange, probably company-mandated aversion to background aliens in the Black Series, but I'll keep pushing.
-Frog Lady. Pretty please? She'd be a fun figure, with an incubator and attachable tongue. Probably a never-ever considering that she's 1.) an alien and 2.) would require an entirely new sculpt, and both of those things in the current era seem to be sacreliege.
Other than those, I'd love to actually get some creatures in the 6 inch line again. We have the Wampa, the Dewback, the Tauntaun, and that's been it for awhile. Creatures would be a great way to occupy the hole that the absence of vehicles in 6" leaves, since many of them aren't unreasonably sized. There's no reason for us to have a muddy Mando and no Mudhorn to pair him with, but why stop there? The weird, Phyrexian-looking cyborg from the last episode was amazing, and I'd love to get both it, it's suit, and the blood-trap all in one product. The constant appearances of Banthas in these shows would also be a great opportunity for Hasbro to finally get around to making one in this scale.
Overall, I think Hasbro's done a surprisingly decent job of covering the Mandalorian in the Black Series, but there's always been a few omissions. Usually alien ones.

I wouldn't mind a season 1 Pershing. My Mount Tantiss is currently short-staffed.
Agree, not an exciting figure, but I would love to add Pershing to my shelfs too. Just like Galen Erso in the R1 set.
I could even see, Hasbro reuse the Galen body, repainted with just a new head
Pershing and Kane in their convert uniforms each with their own light up ice lolly

Wasn't she shot in the S2 finale?
I don't think we saw her during the the S2 finale action scenes.
As long as it's spread out over time, I'd take almost any of them.

Chapter 20 was a belter of an episode absolutely loved it!
Kelleran Beq has to happen now and there is an easy win for Hasbro at the end there with a slight Bo Katan repaint

This week’s episode was outstanding. Great to see Ahmed get his due after all the crappy treatment he received from the fandom back in the day.
I also just learned that Favreau is no longer voicing Paz apparently. Anyway lots of cool Mando variants for toys!
As of todays episode I would add these to my Season 3 wants list:
Kelleran Beq ... obviously the perfect canditate for yet another build-up set.
Hasbro might simply reuse Mace Windu with a new head, two lightsabers, Grogu reuse and all white-factory-new pram... either this or they go the extra mile and do a all new BARC Speederbike. Could be later reuse with either Stass Allie or some Clonetrooper
Bo-Katan V2 ... with Mythosaurus-shoulder
no need to mention that Hasbro find some ways to add the Grogu variants somehow one with NERF-darter, one with Mudhorn-chestplate

I think by the end of the season Bo will be getting more of an armor upgrade than just the pauldron. I’m down for as many Bo figures as they want to give us. She was my #1 want from all the way back to pre-6” when I was buying the 3.75” CW figures. It’s great to see her finally getting some love
The current Bo Katan is one of my favorite black series figures and (I think) one of the best Black Series figures they've done. It would take quite a few things to make me really want another one.
Kelleran Beq DEFINITELY needs a figure. I think probably would end up deluxe because he had a pretty intricate robe on. Not that I want to pay deluxe prices, but I do want him as a figure!

They could go all in with Kelleran and give us the speeder too. I'd be down for that!
As I mentioned above, BARC speeder could be reused with Stass Allie and/or Clone Trooper/Commander Neyo

I'm hoping we get a few different types of Mandalorians released from the series.
So far this series doesn't seem to have as many solid characters you can say we will definitely get released as the previous. Hopefully another Bo would be good.

I love Bo Katan and would gladly take another version of her but honestly the first Bo pegwarmed hard (in part due to poor case allotment but still) and then you had the credit collection one recently so it would be an unwise choice to do her again unless her garb changes drastically by the end of the year. 50 bucks for a new patch ain’t gonna cut it on this one.
Not a character I'd be interested in buying, but a nice custom.

That may have been regional - I don't think I've ever seen any of that wave in-store. I love the character but I agree a new figure for new shoulder armor (so far) is really verging into 'a wasted slot' territory.

I understand Bo-Katan sports a new suit in the most recent episode?
