Additional Confirmation of New 6” 40th Anniversary Figures
Searching via the Walmart app and online has yielded results for that still as of yet unannounced Luke Skywalker Snowspeeder Pilot and Hoth Rebel Soldier coming to the 40th Anniversary Collection of 6″ Black Series carded figures to commemorative The Empire Strikes Back. These links join the other 5 figures revealed over the weekend.
6″ 40th Anniversary TESB Collection Wave 1 Confirmed
The first image of the upcoming 6″ 40th Anniversary Collection for The Empire Strikes Back confirms our 5 of the figures from our rumor list from a couple weeks ago.
Update: A close up image of Luke has been added to the comments section of this article.
Update: Rumor Report: Project Olympus
I few days ago I reported on a possible new scale of Star Wars figures and vehicles coming from Hasbro this year. Today I can found info for ANOTHER type of Star Wars product coded as PROJECT OLYMPUS which goes in the opposite direction than the first rumor and is listed as being 9.5″ scale. I have no clue as to what this may be so maybe we’ll all find out together at NY Toy Fair next month (if not sooner).
Update: It has been determined that this is another budget line of action figures similar to what Hasbro has done for Marvel. They are essentially smaller Hero Series figures with less articulation. An image has been added in the comments. Thanks to TatooineSandworm for the additional intel.
6″ Black Series D3 Imperial Probe Droid Now LIsted on Walmart.com
Additional evidence supporting our original 6″ Deluxe (D3) Imperial Probe Droid rumor as been found after I was scanning through a few codes via the Walmart app. The product page for the as-of-yet unannounced figure is live on Walmart.com and the app but you obviously can’t order it yet. To be clear, THIS IS NOT A WALMART EXCLUSIVE. Our Master List page has been updated with the pertinent info.

Continue reading Two New Star Wars Toybox Items from ShopDisneyRumor Report: Hasbro 2020 – What’s Next for the Star Wars Line?
New York Toy Fair is a little over a month away and if you remember, it was a year ago today that we posted the rumor about the scale change to the new 5″ Galaxy of Adventures figures that replaced the standard “5 POA” basic figure line. As we look to 2020, there is rumbling that there may be another line/scale of figures and vehicles coming for the Star Wars brand from Hasbro. If you’re a fan of the 3.75″ Vintage Collection, 6″ Black Series, and/or 8″ Black Series Hyperreal this new line probably won’t interest you. If you (or your kids) are a fan of the stylized Galaxy of Adventures line it may, but again, this is something different than that too. More details to come as they are uncovered and corroborated.
As for new TVC and TBS products, I’ve heard nothing yet about additional figures/vehicles for The Rise of Skywalker, The Mandalorian or The Clone Wars aside from what we’ve already speculated and posted about in our rumor reports. The month is still young and I hope to uncover more info in the lead up to NY Toy Fair.
