Rumor Report: TVC Darth Vader’s Challenge Set

As we get ever closer to the official reveals of many rumored and confirmed products heading to shelves and online stores for Triple Force Friday, I thought I’d drop this discovery that I just made. There is a new Vintage Collection item currently on the way to the US called “Vader’s Challenge”. No word yet on contents, price or who will be carrying it but details will follow as they are available.

Update: Convention Exclusive 6″ Black Series Luke Skywalker Revealed

Remember that mix up last week regarding the Deluxe 6″ Black Series Luke Skywalker figure, well here is the one I confused it with as Lost Boys World on Facebook has posted the first images and details of this German Comic-Con convention exclusive version of Luke Skywalker from the Marvel Comics “Star Wars” title. It features several accessories including his training gear from the Millennium Falcon. No details yet on a U.S. availability for this version but a regular edition of this Luke is available in Wave 23.

Thanks to Nirob S. for the alert.

Update: According the Lost Boys World, this will be available though select retailers in the U.S. – so probably fan channel retailers.

Update 2: Our friends at FanthaTracks have posted an update regarding additional availability and images.

Update 3: @flyguy has confirmed with Hasbro PR that the convention exclusive WILL NOT include the Medal of Yavin as an accessory. I’m guessing that will be available as an exclusive accessory for the retail version

Rumor Confirmed: First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) Hits eBay

Our rumor of an upcoming First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) “Bruges Rocket Pearl” has been confirmed thanks to an eBay auction.  The figure differs from the TBS wave 23 figure as it will have a pearlescent deco and feature a special box to match. This joins the Carbonized versions of The Mandalorian and the Second Sister Inquisitor, and the yet confirmed Sith Trooper – all of which are thought to be individual exclusives for select retailer but that is just speculation until official announcements happen. The First Order Jet Trooper (Carbonized) is thought to be a Walmart exclusive.
