Wishlist Wednesday – Star Wars The Black Series Pong Krell Figure

In Star Wars The Clone Wars, General Pong Krell was featured in four episodes titled “Darkness on Umbara,” “The General,” “Plan of Dissent,” and “Carnage of Krell.” This was a 4 part story-arch of the Battle of Umbara featuring Jedi General Krell leading a battalion of clone troopers against the separatists forces.

Pong Krell was recognized as a war hero that was relentless in his tactics as well as sought to seek success at all costs. He saw that the Republic would be destroyed from within and abandoned the Jedi way. He sought Count Dooku’s teachings and embraced the Dark Side of the Force. In the Clone Wars, his betrayal was found out and was ultimately killed by his own Clone Troopers.

Unfortunately, Hasbro did not get around to making a Pong Krell figure in the Clone Wars line before it ended, but LEGO did make a mini figure and was the only official figure ever released. This character had also become an instant fan favorite and was even made into custom action figure by Sjefke, which had gotten some high appraise from Star Wars fans.

This week, we are asking Hasbro to consider making a Pong Krell action figure in the 3.75″ The Black Series line.
