Yes, you read that correctly there is a Sith Jet Trooper that is different than the standard Sith Trooper that is coming in wave 2. The Sith Jet Trooper looks to be identical to the First Order Jet Trooper (above) that was revealed at D23, only cast in red.

TVC Knight of Ren Figure Design
As we revealed previously, the back of the TVC Luke Skywalker (Yavin) figure depicts the figures from the first wave character released in Force Friday. Until I have a clearer image, I can share that the above design for the figure coded named “Cairo Axer” is the Knight of Ren shown above. The figure clad in black (it’s hard to tell if it is a mix of soft and plastic goods for his cloak and long tabards that hang in front), has dusty/sandy weathering applied heavily on the bottom edges of the figure (legs and clothing) and slowly fades to black as you move up the figure. He is simply labeled as “Knight of Ren”.
Rumor Confirmed: TVC Luke Skywalker (Yavin) Revealed
U.K. retailer Comics & Cocktails has posted the first “unofficial” official image of the upcoming TVC Luke Skywalker (Yavin) #151 figure. Note the slight tweak to the packaging design. Thanks to BossksBounty for the heads up.
Update: On the reverse side of this card back reveals Rey, Sith Jet Trooper, Zorii Bliss, Knight of Ren, and Xwing Luke.
“Unofficial” Official TVC E9 Wave 1 Breakdown
There have been a couple reports going around over the past few weeks regarding the wave breakdown for the first assortment of TVC figures available for Triple Force Friday. I held off on reporting it as I wasn’t convinced in what was being stated (namely the inclusion of Yavin Ceremony Luke), but I can now “unofficially” report that Wave 1 looks to be as shown in the graphic above.
This new also confirms to a degree that there is NO Luke Skywalker X-wing Pilot packed with the rumored/unofficially announced TVC X-wing.
6″ Black Series Second Sister Inquisitor Leaked
I received a boxed image of the upcoming, yet unofficially announced Second Sister Inquisitor coming in wave 1 for Triple Force Friday. Since I don’t know the origin of the image, meaning it’s not publicly posted, I won’t be sharing it yet.* But I can say the figure has a cool graphite look to it and the packaging features an updated look with round call-out protruding into the window area. She includes a fully-lit Inquisitor lightsaber, I can’t tell if the blades are removable.
*If you’re looking for background as to why I won’t post the image, you can read this from September 2017. Thanks for the requests to post the photo here and/or for me to send it to you.
Galaxy of Toys Podcast – Episode #81
Sunday night, I joined the crew at the Galaxy of Toys Podcast to discuss some of the reveals from the D23 Expo as well as the future of Star Wars figures from Hasbro. Give it a listen!
Rumor Report: 6″ Black Series Bruges Red Metallic Coming Soon
As a follow up to our April report, I managed to find new info referencing a potential 6″ Black Series “E9 Bruges Red Metallic” figure. According to shipping manifests, the figure (E8439) is currently en route to the US and is packed 6 per case, which hints at a larger box as the standard box Black Series figures are packed 8 per case. The real question is, what is this? A different Sith Trooper or Sith Jet Trooper with more weaponry and accessories like the SDCC/D23 version? I guess we’ll need to wait for an official reveal or leak to learn more.
Confirmed: 6″ Black Series Yoda (Force Spirit)
DamingToys – retailer out of Taiwan has posted the first look at the 6” Black Series Yoda (Force Spirit) which confirms our exclusive report from May.
As always, if Hasbro asks us to remove the image we will but again, this was posted publicly for sale by an online retailer.
UPDATE: DamingToys has removed the product stating they were given the wrong solicitation date and it should be available again on Nov. 1. We have removed the image as well in respect to DamingToys. Watch for an early look at this product soon 🙂
UPDATE 2: I did manage to find shipping manifest info for the 6″ Yoda (Force Spirit) figure and its currently on the way to the Port of Long Beach in California.
