Several readers have been asking “when will HasbroToyShop open orders for the 6″ Black Series Exclusives from SDCC 2016?” It is a valid question considering Hasbro’s “go live” times have had a track record of unpredictability. Click on through for our breakdown* of the previous five (2001-2015) SDCC exclusives.

Hot Toys was out in full force at San Diego Comic-Con revealing several new pieces including the eerily lifelike 1:6 Scale Luke Skywalker from The Force Awakens. Head on over to SideshowToy.com for a huge gallery of Star Wars items and more.
Also revealed during the panel, wave 3 of the Black Series Titanium Series Helmet. They include Sabine with Darth Vader (Star Wars Rebels and Boushh with Boba Fett. Click the image for a closer look.
StarWars.com has announced that the last scene for Episode VIII has been filmed and the anticipated sequel has officially wrapped production (aside from some pick ups and reshoots I would imagine). Now the long wait until December 2017.
Hasbro has updated their booth with a few more Black Series figures like Darth Revan and Sabine, but what drew our attention was the much-improved look of the 6″ Princess Leia Organa tweeted out by Hasbro themselves. A far cry from what was shown at Celebration Europe last week.
Continuing the long tradition of holiday-themed mini busts, Gentle Giant has revealed and is now taking preorder for the Holiday BB-8 mini bust. Open to PG Member only, this seasonal version of BB-8 features a permanently mounted string of multi-color decorative lights.
PG Member have until August 10 to reserve your bust, and as with others in the past, they tend to sell through quickly.
