Over in the Rebelscum Forums on Monday, it was discovered that the VC186 Boba Fett has a running change to the sculpt which corrects the omission of the digital readout details from the first run of figures.
Thanks to MurderBear for sharing with the class.

Updated shipping data shows that cases of 6″ Carnor Jax, 6″ Darth Maul, cases of the mystery Target Exclusive 6″ Black Series “Rain” and “Snow*” figures and the Amazon exclusive 6″ Greedo (Kenner Deco) figure plus the First Order Stormtrooper Electronic Helmet have arrived in the Hasbro Distribution Center in CA. Solid cases Moff Gideon and Kuiil from the Retro Collection have arrived stateside as well.

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.
Check out the brand-new trailer for Lucasfilm’s “Star Wars: The Bad Batch,” an original animated series launching exclusively on Disney+. “Star Wars: The Bad Batch” makes its debut on Tuesday, May 4, with a special 70-minute premiere, followed by new episodes every Friday starting on May 7.
A new 6″ Black Series figure listing has been found on the Australian and Italian Amazon sites. It is unknown who the character is but Amazon AU lists it as being a character from The Mandalorian Season 2. As we’ve previously reported, this figure also has dual code names for the same Hasbro SKU: “Cheetah” and “Haiku”. Thanks to JTPrime for bringing this to our attention.
It’s hard to know what to expect with Hasbro’s upcoming Fan Fest in two weeks, but it looks like there are several preorders coming judging by the 12 listings added to certain vendor’s website. The new listings break evenly between Vintage Collection and Black Series, which is nice, but I believe four of the TVC figures are for the upcoming repack/repaint wave. The two “new” TVC listings feature code names I haven’t seen until now “FOUNTAIN” and “MARKER” – these may line up with the rumored TVC Gaming Greats figures but it’s difficult to know at this point until I find some additional info and with the doubling up of code names now. As for the Black Series figures, these should all be from the next wave and feature Aurra Sing, Tech, Q9-0 and others.
Since we’re still a couple weeks out, details may change so stay tuned.
It looks like those exclusive climate/weather code named Black Series figures are starting to arrive in Canada. Shipping info indicates that 65+ cases of the figure code named “Rain” have dropped in Hasbro’s warehouse. No word yet who this figure – but it is likely a Target Exclusive in the US and priced at $24.99.
Hasbro warehouses in Canada are starting to receive new items including the recently revealed 6″ Black Series Darth Maul (Sith Apprentice) and Carnot Jax (not a typo). No word if Canadian orders will fill early or be held for their announced release date.
