A bit of poking around the last couple days has yielded a few 2027 code names/product listings seeming to indicate the return of the large format, carded Black Series figures for the 50th Anniversary of Star Wars. A bit too early to tell who they are exactly but if previous anniversary releases are any indication, there will surely be some reissues with some newness shuffled in (hopefully).

Prototype images have surfaced online via 5017Set for a rumored Black Series Captain Enoch Helmet from Ahsoka. I’d expect this to be released as a tie-in to the second season of the series debuting later this year.

This year’s Droid Factory release for the Pride Collection, R5-PR0UD (which leaked last month) will be available for preorder on June 18 at 8am PT / 11am ET.

UPDATE: Disney Store has updated their released schulde for the Pride Collection droid and it will now be released May 18

Today is the BIG day for preorders! Everything below is scheduled to drop today at 1pm ET, with the possible exception of the May the 4th Black Series B1 Battle Droid and Scout Trooper figures.

Good luck and May the Fourth Be with You!

There was conflicting information yesterday surrounding the Amazon exclusive Black Series Mission Vao & Carth Onasi Set. The Fanstream stated the preorder was coming at a later date but the press information stated May 4 at 1PM ET (coinciding with the other May 4th drops). I was able to confirm with Brandon from the Star Wars team that it is in fact available on Monday.

Add it to the pile I guess.

Galaxy’s Edge will be offering a line of carded figures with comics and coins. These figures are SMALLER than 3.75” (like Page Punchers) and include Chewbacca, First Order Stormtrooper, Dok Ondar, Hondo Ohnaka and DJ R3X.
