Last night we posted news of Target’s #sharetheforce REDcard promotion and in support of that effort, we are giving away one of the POP! Red Stormtroopers! Simply comment on this post with what POP! figure you’d like to see next in the line and we’ll pick a winner tomorrow (No bonus points for asking for Yak Face). U.S. residents only.
Once again, thanks to Target and Funko for making this available to us to giveaway.
According to Target’s page for their exclusive 6″ Black Series Luke Skwalker (Jedi Master) on Ahch-To Island deluxe figure, it looks like it now has an availability of December 1 (originally November IIRC).

Read on for what will and won’t change around here for the foreseeable future. Intriguing!!!

It appears that the 40th Anniversary Darth Vader that is reissued for the standard Black Series release (#43) is more than just a simple repack. The paint operations on the helmet have been updated significantly in order to achieve an even better likeness to the screen-used helmet by adding more silver to the neck seal portion. This makes 3 unique decos for this sculpt (red eyes, dark eyes, and dark eyes/silver neck). Click the image above for a closer look.
