Also officially confirmed today is the rumored Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series Remnant Stormtrooper from The Mandalorian and if you look closely, you can just make out the cape of the upcoming (unannounced) Moff Gideon figure.
Update: This figure is previously code named “Indiana”
Hasbro has officially announced the Black Series Mandalorian Helmet (rumored back in May) as part of today’s Mando Monday reveals. This helmet feature authentic styling, sound fx, lights and a removable tactical light. Price is $119.99 and will be available in April 2021.
For more details and images check out IGN and watch for preorders later today at various retailers including our sponsors, DorksideToys and Entertainment Earth.
It seems fitting that the final goal of 17,000 backers was reached today with the launch of episode 10 of The Mandalorian. This means all Razor Crest backers will receive the Escape Pod, TVC The Child with Pram, Carbonite Blocks, Display Stand and TVC Offworld Jawa Elder. There are still a few days left to back the Crest.
There is also word of another female character joining the Black Series line: Aurra Sing. It is unknown at this time if she will be branded as part of The Phantom Menace or The Clone Wars subgroup of figures but whatever the case I hope we get her in her alternate black outfit as well.
Remember, nothing is official until Hasbro confirms or unannounced product is found at retail.
An interesting bit of anonymous intel flowed my way today, and it looks like in 2021, we’ll be getting some long requested characters from The Clone Wars added to the Black Series line: Bo Katan and Asajj Ventress. I believe they are also general releases and not exclusives.
Remember, nothing is official until Hasbro confirms or unannounced product is found at retail.
Sponsor DorksideToys is also taking preorders for the new TVC Mandalorian (Beskar Armor) figure. This figure is the same version packed with the Razor Crest except for the soft goods cape. Expected availability is December 2020.
Entertainment Earth is now taking preorders for new items from The Mandalorian including Hasbro’s TVC Mandalorian in Beskar Armor and Funko’s POP! Mandalorian with The Child on Bantha
The backer goal of 15,000 has been reached and the display stand for the TVC Razor Crest has been unlocked. The last goal of 17,000 for the Offworld Jawa Elder has one week to be met and it seems like that will be no problem. Congratulations to all backers!
Tomorrow is another Mando Monday event and we will then be able to preorder the final figure in the TVC wave which includes Darth Vader (Rogue One), Captain Rex, The Armorer and Moff Gideon. Preorder for The Mandalorian (Beskar Armor) will open in the afternoon via the our usual sponsors and other vendors.

Update: Preorders officially launch at 4pm ET
It appears there is another snafu with the Vintage Collection numbering system (similar to what happened with Princess Leia Yavin Ceremony VC150/VC164 and Cara Dune VC164) as both the Walmart Exclusive Incinerator Trooper and Din Djarin* Build Up Pack figures share the VC177 designation. Hasbro’s “official” checklist shows the Incinerator Trooper as VC177 so will we see a running change to the Mandalorian or the trooper?
