My poking about the interweb continues with the possibility of as many as 6 TVC figure preorders for January 24th’s figure drop. As always, info isn’t official until Hasbro says so and the number of TVC preorder numbers may change before then.
Joining the line of 4” Epic Hero Series figures will be an assortment of individual speeder bikes compatible with Star Wars and other Epic Hero Series figures. It is unknown if the speeder bikes include a new figure, a repacked figure or just the speeder themselves. This assortment is separate from the unknown vehicle with figure coming later this year. As always, nothing official until Hasbro says so and info/product is subject to change/cancellation.
Without fail, when I post a rumor report regarding one scale or the other, the comments (on social media) turn into an “us versus them” situation in terms of what scale is more heavily favored by Hasbro. Interestingly, I took a look at my rumor list of TVC and TBS code names for 2024 products and you’d probably be (pleasantly?) surprised to hear that I’ve been able to find approximately 30 code names for EACH line. Granted, that’s only what I’ve personally been able to find info for, but as it stands, that’s pretty f’ing balanced.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled slap fight.
For the breakdown of the discovered TVC and TBS code names and how they are weighted, click on through.

The digging continues as athe code name “SIGHT” for an as-of-yet unannounced Black Series Electronic Helmet has been found. No word as to what it may be just yet.
Additional digging this morning has turned up a new Retro Collection code name “Odysseus” which corresponds to an as-of-yet unannounced 6pk.. The dimensions of this item (in terms of packaging) and price are the same as the other 6pks released previously. We know that The Phantom Menance 6pk has the code name “Diomedes” so could this be a set to represent Attack of the Clones based on its Greek-themed code name? I’ll continue to search for more info and update when possible.
Doing some digging this morning, I was able to find a new Vintage Collection code name “Declan” which corresponds to an as-of-yet unannounced playset or vehicle. The dimension of this item (in terms of packaging) seems to be close to previous playsets like the Tantive IV and Carbon Freezing Chamber. If it is a vehicle, the size would most closely correlate to the Imperial Troop Transport. I’ll continue to search the streets for more info and update when possible.
Update: Price is set at $59.99 so I’m going to assume this is a playset
Recent shipping data shows that the Hasbro Pulse/ShopDisney exclusive Black Series Clones of the Republic pack featuring Mace Windu and the 187th Legion Clone Trooper are arriving in the U.S.. Expected fulfillment is set for May 1, 2024, but with how Hasbro has been filling orders months in advance, that date is far from set in stone.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth is now taking preorders for the Black Series Captain Cardinal Helmet (previously exclusive to Target in 2020).
Hasbro Pulse is starting to process preorders for the Black Series Carson Teva Helmet.
Recent shipping data shows that the Black Series Captain Rex helmet and the Deluxe Paz Vizsla reissue have started to arrive in the U.S..
