Images for the 6″ Black Series Second Sister Inquisitor have posted online by R1Valos. The figure features a soft plastic cape that is removable and you can swap out the cape for smaller shoulder epaulets. The blades are in fact removable from the hilt, the helmet is not. Click on through for a few additional images.
Note: the circle call out on the box reads “Carbonized” in various languages.
Collectors who preordered the exclusive 6” Black Series Emperor Palpatine with Throne from Amazon have started receiving processing and shipping notifications for their orders. This set was originally slated for an October release but it looks to have been moved up.
Yes, you read that correctly there is a Sith Jet Trooper that is different than the standard Sith Trooper that is coming in wave 2. The Sith Jet Trooper looks to be identical to the First Order Jet Trooper (above) that was revealed at D23, only cast in red.
As we revealed previously, the back of the TVC Luke Skywalker (Yavin) figure depicts the figures from the first wave character released in Force Friday. Until I have a clearer image, I can share that the above design for the figure coded named “Cairo Axer” is the Knight of Ren shown above. The figure clad in black (it’s hard to tell if it is a mix of soft and plastic goods for his cloak and long tabards that hang in front), has dusty/sandy weathering applied heavily on the bottom edges of the figure (legs and clothing) and slowly fades to black as you move up the figure. He is simply labeled as “Knight of Ren”.
U.K. retailer Comics & Cocktails has posted the first “unofficial” official image of the upcoming TVC Luke Skywalker (Yavin) #151 figure. Note the slight tweak to the packaging design. Thanks to BossksBounty for the heads up.
Update: On the reverse side of this card back reveals Rey, Sith Jet Trooper, Zorii Bliss, Knight of Ren, and Xwing Luke.
There have been a couple reports going around over the past few weeks regarding the wave breakdown for the first assortment of TVC figures available for Triple Force Friday. I held off on reporting it as I wasn’t convinced in what was being stated (namely the inclusion of Yavin Ceremony Luke), but I can now “unofficially” report that Wave 1 looks to be as shown in the graphic above.
Hasbro has extended funding for their Transformers Haslab project by over 30 days to help the market meet the goal of 8000 units backed.
At the time of the extension, the Unicron project was in the ballpark of being 60% funded… which is a very impressive amount of backers; but what does this mean for future projects? How will they “pick and choose” which ones get extensions moving forward?
Share your thoughts, hopes, and potential fears for what this could mean down the road.
I received a boxed image of the upcoming, yet unofficially announced Second Sister Inquisitor coming in wave 1 for Triple Force Friday. Since I don’t know the origin of the image, meaning it’s not publicly posted, I won’t be sharing it yet.* But I can say the figure has a cool graphite look to it and the packaging features an updated look with round call-out protruding into the window area. She includes a fully-lit Inquisitor lightsaber, I can’t tell if the blades are removable.
*If you’re looking for background as to why I won’t post the image, you can read this from September 2017. Thanks for the requests to post the photo here and/or for me to send it to you.
Sunday night, I joined the crew at the Galaxy of Toys Podcast to discuss some of the reveals from the D23 Expo as well as the future of Star Wars figures from Hasbro. Give it a listen!
As a follow up to our April report, I managed to find new info referencing a potential 6″ Black Series “E9 Bruges Red Metallic” figure. According to shipping manifests, the figure (E8439) is currently en route to the US and is packed 6 per case, which hints at a larger box as the standard box Black Series figures are packed 8 per case. The real question is, what is this? A different Sith Trooper or Sith Jet Trooper with more weaponry and accessories like the SDCC/D23 version? I guess we’ll need to wait for an official reveal or leak to learn more.
