Back in February, we exclusively reported 2 new waves of Vintage Collection figure coming later this year* and there has been an adjustment to the name of one of the figures in the first wave. Originally, it was listed as “CL VIN Clone Trooper” on Amazon and
“Airborne/Paratrooper” in other systems. I checked the info again today using the Walmart app and it is now listed as Clone Commander Wolffe. It is unknown if this is a new version or a repack* of the snow gear figure released in the 3.75″ Black Series line.
*Release date may change due to production and shipping delays
Update: He’s not a repack.
Back in January, we reported the rumor of an upcoming line of 9.5″ figures coded as “Project Olympus” and above is the first look at these figures. As you can see, they are limited in articulation and accessories but great for budget conscious parents and collectors. MSRP is $9.99 each.

There looks to be a running change for the new 6″ Black Series Clone Commander Bly figure. Initial releases neglected to include the brown stripe on the lower part of the helmet (under the frown). Instagram follower disneyland_bountyhunter sent in the image on the right showing the helmet with the corrected deco (date stamp 93431)
If this sounds familiar, the ROTS figure (III-57) also had this error and subsequent variant back in 2005.
Hasbro has announced that after over 40 years, designer Mark Boudreaux will be retiring from the company.

A source who wishes to remain anonymous, sent us a link confirming the upcoming 6″ Black Series Shadow Stormtrooper “Gaming Greats” figure from The Force Unleashed. Still no official word on this figure but hopefully we hear something soon.
PERIODICALLY I reference new and upcoming products with an ELEMENT of wordplay. For this next rumor, I can say there have been FOUR of these officially released PLUS TWO more recently rumored. Over the weekend I learned of a third, but before you get GREEN with envy over not finding these in stores, there may be a SILVER lining to this BLACK cloud of potential frustration in terms of accessibility. Sometimes, repaints are good but in these cases they are ALL BAD.
