After some research on new intel gathered recently, there appears to be at least one new playset from Solo: A Star Wars Story hitting shelves soon. Details are sketchy (i.e. blurry) but based on the terrain, it looks to be Vandor themed with some sort of faux conveyex feature. It includes 1 figure (possibly Vandor Han or Chewie – both of which were revealed in the Force Link app update) and is priced at $44.99.
A couple months ago we saw the tease of the upcoming Han Solo and Chewbacca Toybox figures from the Disney Store. Now, a report from Fantha Tracks has revealed a third figure on the pamphlet included with the new Marvel Ant-Man figure: Yoda!
Sponsor DorksideToys has posted new boxed images via Instagram of the 3 new 6″ Black Series figures from Wave 18. Click on through to check out #68 Tobias Beckett, #69 Rebel Trooper and #70 Han Solo (Bespin).
Steve Evans from Hasbro has responded to a few of the questions that were submitted regarding the Vintage Collection. Click the image above for answers regarding bubble sizes, ETA for waves 2 and 3 plus the potential of Photo Real application for the line.
Super7 has just revealed a new SDCC Exclusive figure from their ReAction Figure line that mashes-up the Alien franchise with Star Wars with the Alien Hammerhead Tribute Xenomorph Action Figure. It comes with a tribute Alien coin and a vintage-like card back. Price $15 and available at Booth #4945
An image of the upcoming 6″ Black Series Rebel Trooper has been posted on a Facebook group courtesy of Brian Metz. This figure is part of the next wave (18) of figures at 1 per case, so expect it to be a bit tough to find at retail at first. Your best bet may be to order from one of our sponsors like Entertainment Earth or DorksideToys who will be receiving full cases of this figure. Watch for preorder announcements soon.
Hasbro has issued another update to the ForceLink2 app (Build 2.1) and within the app, several new unannounced products have been added – many of which were rumored here first. Some of the additions include Val, Rio Durant, Han Solo (Mudtrooper), Beckett, Han Solo (Vandor), Weazel and more. Click on through for some in-app images.
New details for the illusive (at least in the US) 6″ Black Series Gamorrean Guard have been light since that original internal date of June 1 came and went. It now appears that mid-July is the new “target” time frame for its release. RC from Phoenix was told that his particular store has this specifically en route for July 14? Your mileage may vary, but we’ll definitely report when the first one turn up on shelf.
