Hot on the heels of yesterday’s reveal, the Black Series Wedge Antilles Battle Simulation Helmet (code names “Couch” & “Hazelnut’) has already reached Hasbro’s distribution warehouse in California as well as GameStop’s warehouse in Kentucky. Like a lot of product in recent months, this may reach collectors prior to its estimated released date of June 2021.
Hasbro sprung a nice surprise on TVC collectors at today;s Hasbro Fan Fest presentation with the reveal of the TVC General Merrick X-wing Fighter with Antoc Merrick from Rogue One. This will be available exclusively through Target in the US.

As a child, Din Djarin was rescued from an Imperial attack by a band of Mandalorians – members of the Death Watch. Raised in their ranks, he was taught that no one living should ever see his face, not realizing that he was part of a fanatical group within the larger Mandalorian culture. Now, the Death Watch member that saved Din Djarin is captured in a 1/6 Scale Mini-bust! Made of resin, this approximately 7-inch mini-bust features detailed sculpting and paint applications. Limited to only 2,000 pieces, it comes packaged in a full-color box with a numbered certificate of authenticity.
