CNET has also revealed the TVC 501st Legion ARC Trooper Special Action Figures set also slated as a Hasbro Pulse Exclusive for September. Set is priced at $50 and as a note, this version of Fives is the one that is single packed in the upcoming wave with Hondo.
This confirms the discovery of an upcoming clone trooper pack back in June via JTPrime. (THERE IS NO TBS CLONE PACK).
Confirming our previous report, ScreenRant has posted official details of the upcoming Hasbro Pulse exclusive 6″ Black Series Wampa – originally intended as this year’s SDCC exclusive. It will be through HasbroPulse this September for $29.99.
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.
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.
