Kaia Boutique in Quebec, Canada has posted the first in-hand look at the upcoming assortment of Retro Collection figures for The Mandalorian. We also get an idea of what the upcoming TVC cardbacks for IG-11 and Kuiil will look like since Retro Collection and Vintage Collection share reference images.

In order to prepare yourselves for their release on Monday, here are the 3 Walmart links for the new TVC figures for Paploo, Princess Leia (Endor) and the AT-ST Driver.
VC90 Paploo
VC91 Princess Leia (Endor)
VC92 AT-ST Driver
UPDATE: Preorders are now live.
Based on some searching last night, I have been able to determine that cases of the Walmart Exclusive TVC Paploo “Oval” figure have arrived in the U.S. Hopefully this means the other two (Endor Leia and AT-ST Driver) are not too far behind and they will be up for order soon.
UPDATE: preorder for new TVC items will launch on March 15 at 1pm ET – thanks to Chad R. For the alert.
Another code name for the Vintage Collection has sprouted from the internet and this one joins the bouquet of other flower-themed code names we posted last month. “Daffodil” is currently showing that it has arrived at a Hasbro Distribution in the U.S. No word as to when it may be announced or if it is an exclusive release, but it is likely.
The addition of “Daffodil” increases the total of unannounced TVC figures (with discovered code names) to 15 and our Master List has been updated to include this new figure.
Sideshow Collectibles is now taking preorders for the Hot Toys 1:6 Scale Bo-Katan Kryze figure from The Mandalorian. The set includes a wide assortment of accessories plus an unhelmeted portrait. Price is set at $285.00 and is expected to be released in April 2022.
The current Yakfinities Customizing Challenge is in full swing, and ends on March 31.
The theme of Interwar Characters entails anything your creative mind can come up with in regards to the eras between the PT/OT or in between the OT/ST.

Preorders are now open for the GameStop Exclusive 6″ Black Series Imperial Rocket Trooper (Gaming Greats) figure. In-store preorder SKU is 236076.
As we indicated on Tuesday, Hasbro will be reissuing the 6″ Black Series Imperial Jump/Rocket Trooper as a Gaming Greats figure this week – this time with the alternate deco from Battlefront II. Preorders will open tomorrow at 1pm ET exclusively in-store and online at GameStop.com in the U.S. and at EBGames in Canada.
Hasbro Pulse has added a new sub-category to their website titled “Partner Exclusives“. It looks as though that Hasbro will be offering retailer exclusives through Hasbro Pulse at some point – a suggestion made by many on several occasions. There is nothing for Star Wars at the moment but there are Transformers R.E.D. figures listed there (initially sold only at Walmart). Hopefully figures like the Walmart exclusive Black Series Clone Wars assortment and the upcoming TVC figures will be offered through this channel as a means of meeting collector demand.
Thanks to LivingRangerKey for the heads-up.
