Jedi Insider is reporting on the potential release of a Jedi Training version of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa from The Rise of Skywalker coming to the Black Series line in 2021. They also report the expansion of the 6″ Credit Collection line and through out a couple figure names from The Mandalorian. Head on over for the info.
Armed with some UPC/EAN info, I ventured into Target today to see I could get a hit on the Black Series figures that we exclusively reported on Monday. Low and behold the info is in Target’s system – and it confirms the code names.
With this info some theories can be proposed:
– The price point is indicative of these being exclusive.
– These are individual DPCIs that are not part of an assortment so could they be another wave of Galaxy’s Edge items??? (These figures are also exclusive to ToysRUs in Canada – the retail partner for GE merch in that country.)
– Walmart received an exclusive wave of figures for The Clone Wars – could this be something similar???
DPCIs have been added to our extensive UPC/DPCI/SKU Master List.
Sponsor DorksideToys is now taking preorders for Case, set and individual figures from the new Black Series Archive Wave 1 for 2021. This assortment includes Han Solo (Hoth – Brown Coat), Luke Skywalker (Hoth), Grand Admiral Thrawn and Clone Commander Cody.
Chapter 14 The Mandalorian officially aired last Friday and it was something my 46 year old brain never thought it would see. This episode paid off in a huge way a tease from Season 1 as well as answers the question of “what happened to Boba Fett after Return of the Jedi” and settles a long standing debate on the heritage of Jango Fett. Maybe they should rename the series “The Mandalorians“. The Tragedy is another glorious addition to the series as well as the entire Star Wars canon.

Some intel sent to me by an anonymous source reveals 4 new Black Series listings found in a retailer’s system: “Sun”, Snow”, “Wind” and “Rain”. No word who these figures may be or if they may be exclusives.
More info to come when available.
UPDATE: I managed to find pricing info for these this evening – $24.99 – and to me that says “exclusive”.
