Confirming our rumor from a couple days ago, Target will be offering 3 Vintage Collection figures for Boba Fett, R2-D2 and C-3PO each in their Droids deco – and each one comes carded in special packaging with a collector coin! Links below – preorder tomorrow at 9am ET.
Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series Droids Boba Fett
It appears that the Target exclusive Boba Fett that we rumored about the other day is in fact from the Star Wars Droids animated series (and not a POTF2 version) to commemorate the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary. Target link below – preorder tomorrow 9am ET.
Thanks to Boba Fett Fan Club for the heads-up.

Rumor Report: GameStop Exclusive 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats 07
It looks like we will be getting another 6″ Black Series Gaming Greats figure in relatively short order as info for Gaming Greats figure 07 has been found in GameStop’s system. No word on the identity of the character or expected release date but as things are going, I suspect sometime in early 2022.
Rumor Report: Target Exclusive POTF2 6″ Black Series Boba Fett Coming Soon?
A few months ago, a listing for an exclusive Black Series figure surfaced at Target with the code name “Libra“. Since then, we’ve seen various Black Series figures released on commemorative cardback for the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary. A bit of new information surfaced and it is possible that this figure is Boba Fett. It is known which Fett sculpt will be used but with the recent release of the new ROTJ figure that may be the most appropriate considering the what was releases for POTF2. It is also unknown if this will be on the orange or green card back. I suspect green to go with the recent Princess Leia Organa (Yavin 4) announcement.
Could this be what is being offered next week for Target’s Fall Geek-On on September 24?
Rumor Report: Target Exclusive TVC Droids Animated Series Figures
Today, I received info on 3 new code names and from what I’m told they correlate to 3 upcoming Target Exclusive Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary Vintage Collection figures to commemorate the Star Wars Droids animated series. The 3 code names are as follows:
“Aquarius” – Boba Fett
“Pisces” – C-3PO
“Taurus” – R2-D2
It can be assumed that these will be redecos of existing molds and be carded on the TVC style card back with animated art from the cartoon used as the “film out” (like the Walmart Exclusive TVC Clone Wars figures). These figures retail for $15.99 each but it is unknown when they will be available for preorder or in-stores.
UPC, DPCI, TCIN info has been added to our Master List for these Droids figures
To clarify, these figures ARE NOT the “Periwinkle”, “Violet” and “Mauve” TVC figures we erroreously hinted at yesterday. These purple tinted codes tie to 3 different figures altogether. : )
Rumor Report: A Second Wave of Retro Collection Figures from The Mandalorian
It sounds like we can expect another wave of 3.75″ Retro Collection figures in the coming months. No word (officially), but with the richness of characters who debuted in season 2, that is probably a good bet.
