Warning: Spoilers follow for The Acolyte.
Hasbro is releasing a Star Wars Black Series helmet based on The Acolyte's Master villain, The Stranger, also lovingly known as Darth Teeth.
Collider gave Star Wars fans something to smile about as the outlet revealed that Hasbro's line of Black Series replica helmets is expanding. The latest addition takes inspiration from The Acolyte villain formerly called "The Master," but now referred to as "The Stranger" on merch — though he isn't a stranger any more.
Hasbro's version of The Stranger's helmet might not be able to short out lightsabers, but it is a wearable piece with a highly detailed sculpt and sufficient padding for extra comfort and an adjustable fit. It also features interior lights with the option for an hour-long "collector display" mode for those wanting to admire the details.
Perhaps most importantly, the bronze-hued helmet incorporates the mouthpiece that earned The Acolyte's masked menace the nicknames "Darth Teeth" and "Smylo Ren" due to what looks like a row of metallic teeth that forms a sinister smile. It also features a fair few battle scars and weathering for added effect.
The Stranger helmet will cost $99.99 and goes up for pre-order on June 27 for release in Fall 2025, which is quite a long time to wait for fans of The Acolyte, considering the series concludes on July 16. However, showrunner Leslye Headland already has plans for a potential second season, but it needs a renewal first.
IGN gave Episode 5 its highest score for the series yet, with a 9/10 rating and high praise for its "exciting and notably cool fight scenes."
