Galaxy’s Edge 6″ Mountain Trooper and Customizable Droids En Route

Checking the overseas shipping info tonight shows that the individual release of the 6″ Black Series First Order Mountain Trooper (Galaxy’s Edge) and Galaxy’s Edge Customizable Droids from Hasbro are arriving soon. These support our previous reports on the Galaxy’s Edge + Target partnership we rumored last month.

Target also had a sponsored tweet this morning teasing the pending reveal of this partnership.

Yakface Patreon Membership is Now Live

Well, I’ve had a lot of requests to create a Patreon page for the site in recent weeks, and after some encouragement, I’ve decided to open one. First and foremost, thank you to all of the yakface.com followers (site and social media) for the kind words lately regarding keeping collectors up-to-date with the latest rumors and (disastrous) preorder launches. (It blows me away that corporations the size of Hasbro and Walmart can screw preorders up so badly and on so many levels.)

For the most part, the Patreon page will serve as a blog separate from the site with some more random thoughts but it will still include occasional previews of upcoming articles, rumors, announcements and more. Patreon members can also make content suggestions as well.

We’ll see how this goes as I do spend a lot of my free time hunting for unannounced product which I’m sure will interest you more than my ramblings anyway. Donate what you wantper month – there’s no tiered levels of content at this point.

Again, thank you for the kind words and an advanced thank you to those that donate/contribute to the page to support the site. MTFBWY.

Update: Rumors Confirmed: New Clone Wars 6″ Black Series Figures revealed

Confirming our report from last month, iO9 has posted the official reveal of 4 new 6″ Black Series Clone Wars figures from season 7 hitting preorder tomorrow at Walmart: Ahsoka Tano, 322nd Clone Trooper, Mandalorian Loyalist and Mandalorian Super Commando. Priced currently at $24.88 these are exclusive to Walmart*. Available Oct/Nov.

Update:*Walmart has the exclusive preorder for these, but they should be available via other retailers later in the year.

Update 2: There are conflicting reports regarding the exclusivity of these 4 figures. To be safe, treat them as if they are Walmart Exclusives until an official confirmation. Better safe than sorry.

Rumor Report: 9 New TBS and TVC Listings Found Via Walmart App

Nine new coded listings from both the Black Series (5) and Vintage Collection (4) have turned up via the Walmart app. They are as follows:

Black Series (States): “Virginia”, “Wisconsin”, “Florida”, “Illinois”, “Indiana”
Vintage Collection (Mountains): “Rocky”, “Alps”, “Andes”, “Himalayas”

No word as to their identity of course. The TVC figures are NOT Walmart exclusives, the exclusivity of theTBS figures is unknown as of this post.

All have been added to our expanding 2020/2021 Master List.

Thanks to WalmartGhost for the assistance.
