Sponsor DorksideToys has updated their store with new images for the next repaint/reissue wave of Vintage Collection figures. There are some noticeable differences in how some of the figures are packaged in their bubbles as compared to their original runs and Obi-Wan’s reference photos looks to have been altered too. Head on over for a closer look at the carded and loose images.
A scan of shipping data this morning shows that the Target Exclusive TVC Galaxy’s Edge Millennium Falcon (Smuggler’s Run) is on the way to Hasbro’s U.S. warehouses for distribution. Also, the mystery TVC “Emerald” figure is also in the same shipment and is packed 8 per case leading me to believe that the other rumored “gem” TVC items (Ruby, Diamond, Sapphire) are packed similarly and are not a traditional wave of TVC figures. They are still listed as $17.99 each.
As we exclusively reported back in June, Hondo will be part of the 6″ Black Series line (087-16-6969) coming to Target later this month for the special store section for merchandise from Galaxy’s Edge. Today, a listing on Mercari has provided photographic evidence of the individually boxed figure. Thanks to William R. for the heads up and Wendi J. for the images.
Images have surfaced of yesterday’s rumored line of Concept Series POP!s from Funko. POP!s include Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Starkiller, Chewbacca. Thanks to @thesneak01 on instagram for the images
According to a report from @anerdydad on Instagram, it looks like Funko will be issuing POP!s Bobbleheads based on the iconic original McQuarrie concepts for Darth Vader, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Yoda.
According to a new shipping manifest update, it looks like cases of the 6″ Black Series Ahsoka’s Clone Trooper are currently en route to the U.S. months before their projected release date of Oct./Nov. Will orders fill early or is Hasbro trying to beat the end of year/holiday shipping rush to make sure product is stateside for their release?
It looks like some Galaxy’s Edge merchandise has started to arrive at Target. Instagram follower Mile High Ground sent us the above image from a store in Lakewood, CO of a Galaxy’s Edge Lightsaber Workshop set that looks to recycle most/all existing Bladebuilders parts. Price is set at $39.99 and the DPCI is 087-16-6688.
With the rumor of the upcoming Black Series Captain Cardinal helmet, it was only a matter of time before it would be repainted as some digging tonight has turned up info for a standard First Order Stormtrooper Helmet. No word if it is the TFA or revised TLJ/TROS design. Price is $99.99.
Sponsor Entertainment Earth has updated with several new items for order/preorder including new LEGO sets and Hasbro’s Mission Fleet assortment.
