Entertainment Earth has listed new preorders from Gentle Giant including the Boba Fett Legends in 3-Dimensions Bust, the Mandalorian Death Trooper Mini Bust and the Obi-Wan Kenobi Milestone Statue as well as the Concept Darth Vader Jumbo Figure.
All are expected to be available this October.
Heads up Canada Collectors: Black Series Clone Wars Figures will be available for preorder on May 4 at ToysRUs Canada. No time is given for the launch.
Logic would dictate that they will be available for preorder at Target in the U.S. on that day as well. No official word yet.
A lot of questions have been posed regarding the status of the 1:12 Scale Tantive IV Blockade Runner Display Set. Recently GTP sent out an email notifying current and potential customers about a shake up in their business as well as production delays due to COVID restrictions for their first officially licensed product. They look to be able to full preorders by July/August 2021 and no more will be made after that due to low sales volumes. If you’re looking to get this for your collection it may be best not to wait.
Gentle Giant has updated today announcing the Jumbo Concept Darth Vader Figure
The newest Jumbo Star Wars action figure goes back, way back, to the beginnings of Star Wars! Based on the concept art for Darth Vader, this new 12-inch figure features an all-new concept-inspired head sculpt, a new blue-and-black paint scheme, a vinyl cape and a retractable lightsaber! It comes packaged on a resealable, retro-style blister card, so you can hang him on your wall or take him out and play with him.
Available for preorder today at 12am ET

Recent shipping data shows that the recently announced TVC Gaming Greats figures for the Scout Trooper (“Magnolia/Rollerball”), Shadow Stormtrooper (‘Mayflower/Marker”) and Heavy Battle Droid (“Marigold/Fountain”) have already entered the U.S. from Canada – well ahead of their August/September release date. It is unknown if they’ll be held back until then or ship to customers early.
As a follow up to our report from last month, the three new shape codes “Triangle”, “Square” and “Rectangle” we received now show up on the Walmart app and after some additional research we have determined that these are indeed exclusive to Walmart. They are priced similarily ($12.99) to the exclusive Endor Leia, Paploo and AT-ST Driver TVC figures and ship in their own case packs of 6. ETA is still unknown as is their secondary code name and identity. More as we learn more.
