As announced at today’s Hasbro Pulse Fan Fest Preview for Hasbro Premium Members, Hasbro will be launching a fans choice poll for one of the five figures above to be reissued from “the vault”. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top.

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.

Rumor Report: New Black Series Mandalorian Season 2 Figure Listing
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.
Rumor Report: More Preorders Coming Soon?
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.
