Werner Herzog Is Getting A Star Wars Action Figure, And He Would Like To See The Baby
Action figure collecting is a complicated profession.
Most of the "Star Wars" figures out there are variations on the same characters alongside endless versions of Stormtroopers and Clone Troopers. But every now and then, there's an entirely new action figure that we never thought we'd see on shelves. Hot on the heels of announcing Timothy Olyphant as Cobb Vanth, Hasbro has revealed Werner Herzog as The Client, the mysterious character who gives out the bounty for the creature known as The Child in the first season of "The Mandalorian." Check out this glorious action figure below.
"I have a camtono of Beskar waiting for you upon delivery of the asset."
Werner Herzog comes alive in plastic form as The Client from "The Mandalorian." The action figure from Hasbro captures that penetrating stare that Herzog has, which manages to see your soul. He will make every single action figure on your shelf cry as he describes the "Star Wars" universe. You can just hear Herzog saying, "Hoth is like a thin layer of ice upon a deep ocean of chaos and darkness." Or maybe he would say something like, "I believe the common denominator of the universe is not harmony, but chaos, hostility and murder." That sounds like quite a villainous line that he actually said in his documentary "Grizzly Man."
The Client action figure from Hasbro comes with the transponder that leads to The Child, as well as the camtono full of Beskar that will be paid to The Mandalorian for recovering the bounty. The camtono itself has a weird history in the "Star Wars" universe, and it's actually a modified ice cream maker that was originally seen in "The Empire Strikes Back." Having it released as an action figure accessory is a nice touch for a figure that's already cool because it's Werner Herzog.

Though The Client action figure was revealed earlier this week, it's not clear when it will be available for pre-order. However, since other recently revealed figures won't arrive until spring 2022, we're betting it will be a little while before you can add it to your collection.
