6″ TBS Range Trooper (Holiday Edition) Revealed
Thanks to an image from Instagram follower @starwarspoodoo we have our first look at the upcoming 6″ Black Series Range Trooper (Holiday Edition) figure. There have been a few rumored TBS figures for the holidays but I don’t think many are prepared for this. Based on the social media responses I’ve received after posting this, they are overwhelmingly positive. I believe this is the Target Exclusive version priced at $24.99 and includes the Santa-esque Range Trooper, a Rudolph the red nosed reindeer inspired D-O and some icy weaponry.
It’s unknown if we will see this officially revealed tomorrow.

Rumor Report Update: TVC “Gem” Figure UnEarthed
Last night, KyloCollector on Instagram posted the first look at a Carbonized TVC Mandalorian figure that was found at Target. The discovery confirms that these figures are the rumored “Gem” items on our Master List – this one being “EMERALD”. The figure itself gets a deco much like it Black Series counterpart and the iconic TVC cardback gets the foil treatment. The back of the card reveals the other figures in the assortment which include Cara Dune, Remnant Stormtrooper and the Death Trooper.

Shipments for the upcoming 6″ Black Series Darth Nihilus Gaming Greats figure have started arriving in warehouses in Canada for release next month as well as cases of the upcoming Black Series “Bobby” (IG-11) figure for the yet-to-be-announced Credit Collection. I imagine the latter will be revealed next week at Hasbro Pulse Con.
Walgreens 6″ TBS Clone Trooper Lieutenant Sold Out/Removed Online
You may have missed our social media notifications via Instagram, Twitter and Patreon early this morning (especially those on the West Coast) you may have also missed the online release of the Walgreens exclusive 6″ Black Series Clone Trooper Lieutenant. It was available for a couple of hours but it started disappearing from carts and then the page was removed from Walgreens.com altogether. Luckily there have been a a lot of retail sightings as well so hopefully this won’t prove to be as difficult as their last Black Series release.
