Retro Rumor Report: Another Retro Wave in 2023
Apart from the Retro Collection Return of the Jedi Wave for 2023, it looks like there is another Retro assortment from another film/show to be released next year.
Note: the code names shown above are different from the ROTJ wave (found on our Master List).
Update: TBS Rumor Report: 2022 ShopDisney Exclusive Black Series Sets
It sounds like Hasbro will be partnering with ShopDisney again this year to offer 3 new Black Series packs similar to last year’s releases. It is unknown what will be in each set but they will be themed as last year with The First Order, Droid Depot and Galactic Creatures.
Update: I made an error in transcribing some codes for the rumored sets mentioned above and they are for something else.

TVC Rumor Report: Unknown/Rumored Large Vehicle Code Name
Another Vintage Collection vehicle code name has been found and this one may tie to the rumored N-1 Starfighter from The Book of Boba Fett/The Mandalorian. “Bridgeport” looks to be due late 2023 with a price in the $140 range.
TVC Rumor Report: Another Unknown Small Vehicle
Now that the small vehicle “expression” is returning the the Vintage Collection, it looks like we can expect more releases of that type and price point in 2023. Today we’ve added “Charlie” to the list of code names, and like the ROTJ Speeder Bike “Caitlin”, it too is priced at $44.99.
TVC Rumor Report: 10 More TVC Code Names Added
Following up on yesterday’s TVC news, I’ve added ten additional TVC code names to our list of upcoming product for 2023. All of these look to be basic figures with the standard mainline pricepoint. This brings our count up to nearly 40 TVC items that we have yet to correlate with pipelined or unannounced products.
Retro Rumor Report: New Prototype Edition Figure for 2023
It looks like the Target exclusive Retro Collection (Prototype Edition) series will continue on into 2023. Like the school codes before it (“Chalk“, “Blackboard“, “Eraser” and “Sharpener“), “Lowercase” continues the theme and has a price point of $14.99. Question is, who will it be? I think Leia is about due for the subline as we’ve gotten 3 villains and 2 heroes, and no female characters thus far, but I guess we’ll see when it’s officially revealed.
