Doing some additional investigating regarding the Deluxe Black Series figures for the 40th Anniversary for Return of the Jedi, I not only came across the price of $33.99 each (regular ROTJ40 figures are $24.99) but I believe, based on the store code, found a third deluxe item. No word what character it may be yet, but there is a pretty short list of who it may be if it’s a repack. A third deluxe may also indicate a third wave as well.
Doing a bit of research today I believe I have found evidence of a third Black Series Halloween themed figure. No word on the design of the figure itself or its retail home, but the code name and Hasbro SKU does fall in line with the previously announced “Skull Clone Trooper” (Target) and “Were-Wookiee” (Walmart).
Notifications are being received from Entertainment Earth (and likely others) that the Hasbro has informed them of “the discontinued production” of the Black Series Captain Rex (#59) from the black/red packaging.
Thanks to Luke M. for the alert.
Here is a first look from an anonymous source at the upcoming Black Series Boba Fett from the 40th Anniversary assortment for Return of the Jedi. I’d imagine the price will be more than some of the others in the line due to the inclusion of all the accessories from the deluxe release (or maybe Hasbro will surprise us).
Update: based on its SKU, it should be an exclusive of some sort, most likely fan channel
Update 2: Card back added showing the wave including the new Wicket. (sorry I don’t have a better quality image)
