Yakface Reader Mike N. shared these new in-hand shots of the next wave of TVC figures that have apparantly started to hit Target in AZ and were listed on eBay and Mercari. The VC numbering is a follows:
VC184 The Child
VC185 Greef Karga
VC186 Boba Fett
VC187 Leia (Bespin Escape)
VC189 Zutton
Also note the image card back for Boba Fett is the corrected version with the yellow accent color and the zoomed out shot for the reference image.
Recent shipping information shows that cases of the 6″ Deluxe Boba Fett (ROTJ) has started to arrive at Hasbro’s warehouse in Canada. Hopefully an image of the final production piece surfaces soon.
In light of the recent events surrounding the character of Cara Dune, we’ve received word that the planned reissues of the 6″ Black Series and Vintage Collection figures have been cancelled. Hasbro still intends to release the Retro Collection version as planned.
StarWars-Figuren has posted card back images of the 3 Walmart exclusive figures coming later this year. And they confirm the VC numeration for them as well as design changes which incorporte the 50th Anniversary timeline as previously seen on the newer Black Series Archive waves. The numbers breakdown as follows:
VC190 Paploo
VC191 Princess Leia (Endor)
VC192 AT-ST Driver
We have also been able to determine the internal code names for each and they are “OVAL”, “OCTAGON” and “CIRCLE” respectively.
It appears that the packaging for the new Cal Kestis (Gaming Greats) figure reveals the possible reissue of the Battlefront Jumptrooper for the Gaming Greats subline.
There is a rumor circulating on the Black Series Canada Facebook group of an EB Games listing (758481) for a 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats Cal Kestis figure ($44.99). No word yet on what skin/outfit it may utilize but, if true, I’d imagine the ponchoed look and possibly a recolor of BD-1.
UPDATE: Images of this figure have now been revealed via Mephitsu.co.uk
Here is the GameStop SKU and Price: #236078 / $29.99
UPDATE 2: Now available on GameStop.com

Back in October, we received word that a listing for Deluxe Clone Trooper had been found in the system at EBGames in Canada. From info I’ve gathered and via latest shipping data, it appears that this clone is indeed Wrecker from The Bad Batch and reached a Canada warehouse last week. No word when the official reveal and preorder will come but look for it to possibly be a fan channel exclusive in the U.S.
