Gentle Giant Mandalorian Death Watch Mini Bust – 2021 Showcase Exclusive
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.
Price is set at $120.00. Preorder yours at GentleGiantLtd.com

Rumor Report: Another Mystery Listing on AMAZON
Another mystery listing has shown up on Amazon sites overseas and what is puzzling about this one is that the Australia listing describes it as a Vintage “Cat Toy” item, while the Italian listing has it simply as “Black Series”. Both listings share the same Hasbro SKU number (F2886) and EAN/Barcode. The price for this item is around 60 Euros.
It’s anyone’s guess as to what it may actually be but considering how specific the AU listing is (and how general the IT listing is) I’m putting this in the TVC column.
Thanks to JTPrime for the links.
