It looks like Hasbro will be getting their chocolate in their peanut butter again and releasing a Star Wars X Transformers collab. It’s unknown what the vehicle/ship mode will be or what the bot mode is, but if I had to speculate, I’d say Mando/Grogu related.

Based on a listing I have found, it looks like we can expect a new/another Black Series Boba Fett or character from The Book of Boba Fett series this year. It is unknown specifically who it is (other than the label), so it maybe a new, and much needed, Boba Fett from The Empire Strikes Back, a proper Boba Fett (Daimyo) from his eponymous series, or another character from TBOBF such as the female Tusken Warrior. Personally, I think the latter makes the most sense with this being a mainline figure (and thus less accessories and paint apps), already having the TBS Tusken Chieftain and there being a figure in the Vintage Collection.

TBS Rumor Report Update: No Dooku, Yes Sidious for Fan Channel Wave 3
As a follow up to our Rumor Report back in January regarding the return of Count Dooku to the Black Series line, infomation that I have found indicates that was inaccurate and the figure is actually the pipelined Darth Sidious. Sidious will be packed alongside the single packed Super Battle Droid and both figures are fan channel exclusives (like Padme, Anakin, Ki-Adi-Mundi and Phase I Clone Trooper) as they are part of the Prequel “mini-beat”.
