Our current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge is in full swing, and runs through the end of November.
The customizing theme this round is anything that fits into the idea of “Adventurers and Explorers” – so as long as your custom entry is a new creation and fits into the theme, it qualifies!
Hasbro has officially announced their participation in this year’s Gift the Galaxy promotion where every Tuesday (starting tomorrow) through December 17, they will be having weekly reveals for Black Series and Vintage Collection products. Stay tuned for more, but until then you can check out our Master List for previous pipeline reveals and rumored items that may/will debut.
First it was October 24, then November 4, then November 11 and now the latest release date for the Gamestop exclusive Black Series Duel of the Fates 3pk with Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul is November 22. With all of the product arriving now just before the holidays, I wouldn’t be surprised if collectors started cancelling these in limbo preorders in favor of some of the newer product releases.
Another unannounced, but rumored figure the Black Series Range Trooper from Andor has surfaced courtesy of Vic Valencia once again. This (likely Target exclusive) figure is number 14 in the mural packaging sequence and that nearly confirms the placement for the unannounced Director Krennic at 13 and another unknown character at 15.
Hasbro will be revisiting the mash-up concept in 2025 with Star Wars MixMashers. As you may recall, they previously had a line called Hero Mashers which are essentially the same as these new figures. Parts can be mixed and matched across various figures and lines (Marvel and Transformers). Here is the descriptive copy to explain it further:
Mix and mash characters from across the galaxy to create unique and customized figures! Collectible MixMashers Star Warsfigures feature parts and pieces that pull apart and mash together to create uniquely customized figures. With 16 connection points, 5-inch-scale (12 cm) MixMashers Star Wars action figures feature universal connectors for compatibility and durability across the entire line. Want even more mashed-up creations? Collect included accessories and power-up parts to create and customize figures your way! Look for more MixMashers toys for kids to collect or give as gifts for birthdays and holidays! (Each sold separately. Subject to availability.)
So far there are 6 characters to collect (2 deluxe, 4 basic) which include: – Darth Vader (Deluxe) – The Mandalorian & Grogu (Deluxe) – Stormtrooper – Darth Maul – Boba Fett – Chewbacca
A couple weeks ago we posted that the first shipments of the Haslab TVC Ghost had started to arrive in the U.S.. Now thanks to toyhideout on Instagram we have the first in hand look (of the box at least). Late December can’t get here soon enough.
An image has surfaced of an unannounced Black Series 2pk which includes a Phase I Clone Trooper and Super Battle Droid. No word yet as to when this will be available but it will likely be a fan channel exclusive like previous sets or a shared exclusive between Hasbro Pulse and Disney Store.
