Pre-Show Reveal: POTF2 6″ Black Series Princess Leia Organa (Yavin IV)

As we await the launch of today’s Fan First Wednesday, Hasbro has previewed – via select fan site outlets – a new POTF2 inspired Princess Leia Organa (Yavin 4) figure. This should go up for preorder on November 1 in the U.S. at Hasbro Pulse. If this exclusive doesn’t do it for you nostalgia-wise, look for her to be released in the regular Black Series line in an upcoming wave.

Thanks to FanthaTracks for the heads up.

Rumor Report: Another Retro Item For This Year?

It appears that there is at least one more Retro Collection item planned for this year. A search last night turned up results for an item called “SW RETRO BLACKBOARD” and it’s currently shipping to the U.S.. As you may recall, the recent Target exclusive Prototype Edition Boba Fett has the code name “SW RETRO CHALK” – it is unknown if this is a figure or other item like the previous games with a figure pack-in. Maybe we’ll hear about it tomorrow at Hasbro Fan First Wednesday.

New Walmart Exclusive TVC Wave Arriving

Walmart’s newest wave of exclusive TVC figures are now shipping via online orders. However, it seems it may be difficult to find cardbacks in pristine condition once again thanks to Walmart’s handling of their product.

Plus, be very careful with the Tusken Raider’s right hand… seems many copies of the figure suffer from the joint being fused, which means these may easily snap.
