Some more late night digging turned up a non-sequential UPC for an upcoming 6″ Black Series figure from The Rise of Skywalker. The figure is coded similarly to other speculated troopers with the label “E9 Bruges Rocket Pearl” – could this be the white First Order Rocket Trooper seen in those quick frames in the teaser trailer? Time will tell. Feel free to give your own theories as the the identity of this character.
There is one more thing that I neglected to mention before. Recently Hasbro decided to reissue 6″ Black Series Commander Gree as a fan channel exclusive. Don’t be too shocked if we see some other in-demand main line and previously exclusive figures make their way to collectors via fan channel releases.
In case you missed them all, here are individual links to the Hasbro rumor reports we have posted over the past couple of days in reverse chronological order:
Finally for reveals today (maybe) is a drop of some new UPCs/SKUs for upcoming 6″ Black Series figures. If you’ve follow our rumors and hints here and on social media for a few months, the first two on the list above won’t be a surprise. Note “LA” codes probably stand for “live action” for characters from The Mandalorian. All codes have been added to our Master List for quick reference.
New info for the Vintage Collection has been a little light but I did manage to find codes for a few figures from our exclusive rumor report back in April as well as info for a another unannounced addition to the line – Princess Leia (Yavin Ceremony)*. This figure should be an update to the Walmart Exclusive version now with PhotoReal and joins the also unannounced Luke Skywalker (Yavin Ceremony) figure we exclusively revealed back in March. All relevant UPCs and Walmart SKUs have been added to our Master List.
*Walmart lists this as E6 Ceremony which I believe is an error due to their record of other mislabeling TVC figures, especially from TVC Wave 5.
After breaking the news of the new Hyperreal line back in February, I have discovered more information pertaining to the next release and it is, not surprisingly, Luke Skywalker. What’s in question is which version of Luke it is as I originally heard is was from The Last Jedi, but new info says its from The Empire Strikes Back. That being said, originally Vader was listed as being from A New Hope, but it is now listed as being from Empire. We’ll have to see when Luke is officially announced or more leaks occur (whichever comes first). Until then, the UPC and Walmart SKU has been added to our Master List.
